After the epic showdown in Captain America: Civil War, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, played by the talented Tom Holland, is back in his own standalone film, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Peter Parker, a high school student living in Queens, New York City, is still trying to find his footing as a superhero while also navigating the challenges of adolescence. With the guidance of his mentor, Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.), Peter must learn to balance his dual life as a student and a crime-fighter.
The film introduces a new villain to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Vulture, played by the brilliant Michael Keaton. Adrian Toomes, a salvage company owner turned arms trafficker, becomes the Vulture after he steals Chitauri technology from the Department of Damage Control. The Vulture poses a significant threat to Spider-Man, as he is equipped with a high-tech suit that allows him to fly and shoot energy blasts. As Peter tries to stop the Vulture and his crew, he must also deal with the challenges of being a teenager, including school, friends, and his first crush, Liz (played by Laura Harrier).
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a thrilling and action-packed film that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
