One of the biggest surprises emerging from Captain America: Civil War was the introduction of Tom Holland as the MCU version of Spider-Man. It all teases the upcoming Sony and Disney collaboration on the next iteration of the Spider-Man films. Marvel Studios gives its fans a holiday season treat with its first official trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming set to hit the big screen on July 7, 2017. Robert Downey Jr. is seen throughout as Tony Stark (and a bit as Iron Man) taking on the “mentor” role. The rest of the trailer either establishes Peter Parker in high school or facing the threat of The Vulture played by Michael Keaton.
The updated costume looks fantastic, Stark upgraded web wings and all. Holland makes for a terrific Peter Parker. And it’s always great to see RDJ reprising Tony Stark. With the opening shots having the bank robbers wearing Avengers masks, the trailer quickly establishes this film set firmly in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The trailer looks exciting complete with superhero action, John Hughes inspired school drama, and plenty of Parker humor. July 2017 is going to rock! Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.
