Spider-Man comes home in his solo MCU debut.
Another day, another Spider-Man origin story. Spider-Man: Homecoming will be the first solo Spider-Man film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and sees Tom Holland reprise his Captain America: Civil War role as Peter Parker, a high schooler who becomes the superhero Spider-Man.
The story this time around, judging just from the trailer, will see Parker fight against Vulture (Michael Keaton), all while the adult superheroes, represented by Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.), tell him to let them handle it. So, two conflicts for our hero. Fun!
Look, a lot has been made about the deal between Sony and Marvel/Disney in order to get Spider-Man into the MCU. But will it make for a good movie? In the small doses we got in Civil War, it worked. It remains to be seen whether or not that translates when dealing with a full movie, but my fingers are definitely crossed.
Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7, 2017.
