Tyne Daly Joins Cast of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

Deadline reports that Tyne Daly has signed on to the cast of Jon Watts' SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING from Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios. The actress joins previously announced cast members Tom Holland in the title role, Robert Downey Jr, Michael Keaton, Abraham Attah, Zendaya, Michael Barbieri, Kenneth Choi, Tony Revolori, Marisa Tomei, Donald Glover, Martin Starr and Logan Marshall-Green.

No details on the role Daly will take on in the film. The actress was seen on the big screen in My Name Is Doris and will soon be seen in HBO's Looking film. She most recently appeared on Broadway in IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU and MOTHERS AND SONS.

Tyne Daly is an Emmy award-winning actress who starred in "Cagney and Lacey" as Detective Mary Beth Lacey. Tyne's film credits include "John and Mary," "The Adulteress" and Inspector Harry Callahan's first female partner Kate Moore in the 1976 Dirty Harry film "The Enforcer." In subsequent years, Tyne devoted her energies to the Broadway stage, including winning a Tony award for her role of Mama Rose in the revival of the musical Gypsy and taking on the challenges of the five-role, one-woman show Mystery School at Gotham's Angel Orensanz Foundation Center in 1998. In 1999, Tyne returned to television, most notably with a key supporting role as the lead character's domineering, judgmental mother on the series drama "Judging Amy." Having caught the theatrical bug, however, she also retained her footing on stage in such productions as the acclaimed Rabbit Hole (2006) and in the original cast of Love, Loss, and What I Wore (2009). In 2011, she starred as Maria Callas in Master Class at the Manhattan Theater Club on Broadway.
