Central To The Success Of This New Interpretation Of The Character Was The Actor Who Could Convincingly Play Young Peter Parker, The Brainy Kid Who Became Marvel’s Biggest Little Hero. Former Stage Actor Tom Holland Not Only Had The Right Look For The Role But The Right Disposition As He And Director Jon Watts Undertook The Challenge Of Introducing The Character For A New Generation Of Fans.
In an all-new story that reintroduces audiences to one of history’s most popular and enduring comic book characters, Spider-Man: Homecoming picks up where the events of Captain America: Civil War left off, and finds Peter Parker returning to the comparatively mundane teenage problems after battling alongside, and against, some of Earth’s mightiest heroes. Spider-Man is forced to contend with the struggles of adolescence alongside the repercussions of his, ahem, extracurricular activities. Desperate to win the approval of his newfound mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), Peter tries to live up to the legacy of the heroes he’s grown up watching on TV, only to find that his ambitions outpace his ability to control his powers, even as new foes like The Vulture (Michael Keaton) force him to test their limits.
Long before being recruited as Iron Man’s ringer, Spider Man has been a fixture on the silver screen – since 2002, when Sony Pictures first brought the iconic web-slinging superhero to life. Three films and more than $2.5 billion (about RM10.70 billion) was spent worldwide, and their work paved the way not only for other filmmakers to tell stories about the world’s favourite wall-crawler, but for other superheroes from the Marvel Universe to have bigger and bigger adventures of their own – and eventually, all together. Fifteen years later, with a spectacularly successful test run under their belts with Captain America: Civil War, Sony and Marvel have teamed up to bring Spider-Man back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with SpiderMan: Homecoming, an adventure that catapults the character into the midst of a world where he’s one of dozens of super-powered individuals, while re-introducing him as the teenager from the comics whose troubles linger long after he’s taken off his red and blue costume.
