Sony and Marvel's creation is directed by Jon Watts. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" follows the events of "Captain America: Civil War" where the friendly neighborhood hero was recruited by eccentric Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). The film picks up where the title's hero was left after the events of the feud between Captain America and Iron Man.
More than showcasing the skills and abilities of Spider-Man, who is played by Tom Holland, the film features him in a reality-grounded plot where he attempts to juggle high school and his responsibilities as a superhero. It is definitely a different take compared to the other films that feature Spider-Man. Toby Maguire portrayed the hero as someone who discovers he has powers and how it affects all the decisions he makes when it comes to his relationships with others. Andrew Garfield played as the Spider-Man who is also a man in love. This time, Holland shows a different side as the film explores what a high school student and superhero does when he needs to balance two different lives with equally different responsibilities.
"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is set to land in theaters on July 7.
