You gotta hand it to Jimmy Kimmel, he’s been getting the jump on everyone else in the late night talk show circuit when it comes to premiering awesome trailers. Tonight is a big one too, the world premiere of the first full trailer to SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING. If you were one of the many thrilled by the brief bits with Tom Holland as Spider-Man in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, chances are you’ve been anxiously waiting for a trailer to his first official Spidey solo movie. Yesterday we saw a sneak peek that featured IRON MAN‘s Happy Hogan (played by Jon Favreau) giving Peter Parker the case from Stark… you may have also noticed the web wings, something that’s been part of Spidey’s costume in the comics for a long time, but so far has not been seen in any film. SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING is directed by Jon Watts (COP CAR), and the cast also includes Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. A few interesting things to mention here. The girl Peter Parker is pining over is NOT Zendaya, that’s Laura Harrier playing “Liz Allan”, a character from the comics that’s not as well known as Mary Jane Watson or Gwen Stacy. This begs the question though, who is Zendaya’s “Michelle” supposed to be in the story? There were rumors she was actually Mary Jane, but she looks like a grungy social outcast and is rather sarcastic to Peter… that’s so not Mary Jane Watson. Also note an image of Tony Stark’s father Howard Stark on the wall in the hallway of the high school. So check out the full trailer now, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened. Directed by Jon Watts. Produced by Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal. Screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers, Based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
