WithSpider-Man: Homecomingopening this weekend, last week I landed an exclusive interview withMarisa Tomei. She talked about working with directorJon Watts, the way she likes to work on set, how this is a completely different take on Aunt May, and if she’s already thinking about the sequel.
As most of you know,Spider-Man: Homecomingtakes place after the eventsof Captain America: Civil Warand features Peter Parker trying to adjust to life back in High School while trying to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. The film also starsRobert Downey Jr.,Jon Favreau, Zendaya,Jacob Batalon,Laura Harrier, Michael Keaton,Bokeem Woodbine,Donald Glover,Hannibal Buress,Abraham Attah,Martin Starr,Tony Revolori,Michael Barbieri, andAngourie Rice. For more on the film,read Matt Goldberg’s review.
Finally, as a long-time Spider-Man fan that grew up reading all the comics, I’m happy to reportSpider-Man: Homecomingis everything I wanted it to be and so much more. Not only does it have a great script, fantastic action, and perfect casting, it captures what it would really be like to be 15 years old and trying to fight crime without enough life experience. Also, while Marvel makes some great movies, I think we can all agree the weak link is some of the antagonists. That’s not the case with Michael Keaton’s Vulture. He’s a great three-dimensional villain where you’re able to understand his motivations and empathize with what he’s trying to do. Trust me, there is no way you seeSpider-Man: Homecomingand walk out disappointed.
Check out what Marisa Tomei had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about followed by the official synopsis and some images from the film.Spider-Man Homecomingis in theaters July 7th.
