Spider-Man: Homecoming Japanese Adverts Confirm Daily Bugle’s Presence

Every hero needs a day job, and it just so happens that many superheroes tend to gravitate towards journalism. Over in the DC Universe, Clark Kent has made a name for himself at the Daily Planet, but his real job sees him suit up as Superman. As for Marvel, Peter Parker is known for his work at a photographer with for the the Daily Bugle. However, reports have said the publication would be kept out of Spider-Man: Homecoming to help give the standalone breathing space from Sony Pictures’ previous films.

However, you shouldn’t count the publication out for good. It looks like previous reports about the Daily Bugle’s exclusion were a bit over-exaggerated. Recently, Japanese media was able to host several Spider-Man: Homecoming clips, and netizens have said the international promos have shown the Daily Bugle does exist.

Over on Twitter, photos of an issue of the Daily Bugle have hit the Internet. The issue shown via @tomhsource has a plaque next to it, confirming its place in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The issue itself makes one large reference to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The newspaper ties back into the UN attack in Captain America: Civil War. The rest of the headlines nod to an alleged chihuahua ring and a covered-up hoax involving the Washington Monument.

The rest of the screencaps show new images of Peter Parker in civilian attire and his iconic upgraded suit. Reports have also suggested the clips confirmed on Weibo that one star had their secretive role revealed. Netizens say the foreign website described Angourice Rice’s role as Gwen Stacy, but there is no confirmation on that report from Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures. Fans have long speculated that the actress may be secretly playing the character whilst operating under a codename. However, fans will not find out more about Rice’s role until Spider-Man: Homecoming nears its premiere date.
