With directorJon Watt’sSpider-Man: Homecomingopening this weekend, last week I landed an exclusive interview withTom Holland. He talked about how he almost cried reading the first reactions to the movie online, his thoughts on the Spider-Man suit and what it’s like to actually put it on, the father/son dynamic between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Peter Parker in the film, how he can’t be in aVenommovie because Spider-Man is currently in the MCU, what he knows about theSpider-Man: Homecoming sequel,Avengers: Infinity War, and so much more.
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, Marisa Tomei,Michael Keaton,Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, 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 Tom Holland 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.

Here’s the official synopsis forSpider-Man: Homecoming:
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
