Recently published concept art reveals that the 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home originally featured additional villains, including a version of the Vulture. The artwork, shared by the film’s illustrator, offers a glimpse of what the scene might have looked like in early drafts.
The draft scenes show Sandman, Doctor Octopus, and the Vulture gathered in a dim hideout that resembles a garage. These ideas point to a practical, ground-level setting that contrasts with the more celestial, web-slinging imagery fans came to expect.
In later versions, the Vulture did not appear in the final cut. The artist confirms that key locations around Norman Osborn’s betrayals shifted repeatedly, even after the initial concept boards were created. Several characters also underwent significant changes as the film progressed toward production.
As for the Vulture, the character was previously featured in other Spider-Man films, portrayed by Michael Keaton in Spider-Man: Homecoming and appearing in Morbius as part of the wider Sony Spider-Verse. These connections help piece together how the character evolved across different installments.
Meanwhile, anticipation continues for upcoming projects in the Spider-Verse franchise. A new frame from related media circulated online, sparking discussion among fans. In other gaming news, Square Enix announced details surrounding NieR: Automata, highlighting a refined rating framework for players seeking deeper challenges within the game world.
