Although we had our doubts, this new Trailer for SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING alleviates many concerns. And if it’s an added incentive, Robert Downey Jr. gets plenty of screen time as his Iron-Man/Tony Stark gets a pivotal story line crossing here as Spider-Man/Peter Parker‘s mentor.
Synopsis:
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.
