Words by Tom Williams

Tom Hol­land suits up for his first out­ing as everyone’s favourite web-sling­ing superhero.

After his scene-steal­ing cameo in Cap­tain Amer­i­ca: Civ­il War, Tom Hol­land is set to make his full fea­ture debut as Peter Park­er. The trail­er for Sony’s Spi­der-Man: Home­com­ing opens with a men­tor­ing pep talk deliv­ered by Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark, and there is an unde­ni­able chem­istry between the two actors which we’ll be hop­ing for much more of.

Both char­ac­ters are known for their quick wit and rebel­lious nature, and the fact that this reboot appears to be lighter in tone than pre­vi­ous incar­na­tions could give the fran­chise a vital new lease of life.

The film’s vil­lain comes in the form of Vul­ture, played by Michel Keaton, who sud­den­ly appears in dan­ger of being type­cast as a man who dress­es up as a bird. (Hey, we’re not com­plain­ing.) There’s no hint of an ori­gin sto­ry here either, which giv­en the brief back­sto­ry offered in Civ­il War cou­pled with the fact that this will be the sixth Spi­der-Man film in 15 years, is anoth­er pos­i­tive sign.

Hol­land seems a per­fect fit for the role and this film looks on tar­get to (final­ly) deliv­er a defin­i­tive por­tray­al of everyone’s favourite web-sling­ing boy wonder.

Spi­der-Man: Home­com­ing swings into cin­e­mas 7 July, 2017.

**Update – 28 March, 2017**

Sony/​Marvel have just dropped a sec­ond trail­er, which fea­tures some rather nifty Spidey suit mod­i­fi­ca­tions and some sage advice from a cer­tain Tony Stark. Watch it below and let us know what you think @LWLies
