Spider-Man Homecoming has yet to have any sort of confirmed plot – and the trailer is just a noisy mess – but it obviously centres around young Peter Parker (Tom Holland) beginning to figure out his new-found identity as web-slinging superhero Spider-Man.
Directed by Jon Watts from a script by him and FIVE OTHER PEOPLE. REALLY??! It takes SIX people to come up with this junk? The others are Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley, Christopher Ford, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.
Robert Downey Jr also reprises his role as Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, as does Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, plus Donald Glover, Martin Starr, Logan Marshall-Green, Hannibal Buress, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Bokeem Woodbine as Herman Schultz/Shocker, plus Angourie Rice (The Nice Guys) as Betty Brandt, and Michael Keaton as baddie Mr. Harrington, playing the same type he has for a long time when in bad guy mode.
And no doubt Stan Lee will pop along, too.
All that said, give me Andrew Garfield’s movies any day, over the sperm of Dominic Holland. And The Impossible was terrible, too.
And just how many more of these Avengers films will we get until they finally stop?! Especially with Spider-Man, it’s just the same characters meeting the same foes every few years but played by different actors (much like Doctor Who, in fact).
Spider-Man Homecoming is released in the UK on July 7th, 2017.
