Sony’s upcoming reboot of Spider-Man has recently announced a string of new cast members and the film is shaping up to be the most diverse Spider-Man film in the franchise.

Spider-Man: Homecoming already includes Zendaya, Donald Glover, Laura Harrier, and Hannibal Buress, along with Orange Is The New Black star Selenis Leyva and Dope actor Tony Revolori, and now the film is adding another notable name. Abraham Attah, star of Beasts of No Nation, is joining the cast in a yet to be revealed role.

This is Attah’s first major role since Beasts. 

With an ever growing list of actors signing up for the film, we’re not sure what to expect from the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. But with such an amazing and diverse cast, Spider-Man: Homecoming is set to be one of 2017’s most anticipated films.
