Spider-Man: Homecoming Casts Michael Chernus as The Tinkerer

Instead of using those powers for good as MacGyver would have, The Tinkerer uses them toward more nefarious ends.

Deadline reports that Orange is the New Black‘s Michael Chernus has been cast in the film as Phineas Mason, a.k.a.

In the comics, The Tinkerer is a sort of MacGyver gone wrong, a brilliant inventor with the ability to put together gadgets out of little more than household spare parts.
