Spider-Man: Homecoming Star Brought The Clone Saga To Its Red Carpet

The next time Hannibal Buress is at a red carpet premiere, you might need to stare a little closer to make sure it's really him.

Buress plays the part of Coach Wilson in Spider-Man: Homecoming, so naturally, he was going to be at the red carpet premiere. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it, but not wanting to disappoint, he paid $500 to a look-alike to take his place at the event (via A.V. Club).

The lookalike's name is Joe Caroll, who posted about the impromptu gig on Instagram, saying "When @hannibalburess hits you up and tells you to crash the red carpet since he couldn't make it.... You crash the damn red carpet. PS: my driver will NOT STFU.... #standIn #bodyDouble #whichIsWhich #partyCrasher #redcarpet #weAllLookAlikeRight?"

Caroll walked the Carpet without Sony or Marvel knowing, and after finding out it wasn't Hannibal they have taken out the footage of him walking the carpet from any broadcasts since. Sony has yet to comment.

Spider-Man: Homecoming currently has a 4.14 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

The cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, JacobBatalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. It also includes Jon Favreau, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Michael Mando, Selenis Leyva, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., JJ Totah, and Hannibal Buress.
