Well, a lot of trailers have been dropping recently. There is a new Last of Us game coming out, Tom Cruise has a new movie, and Marvel dropped two trailers. One was for the new Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 which was awesome, but I want to focus on the new Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer.
It starts out with Spider-Man fighting some robbers with Avengers masks on, and of course, Tom Holland proves to us that this Spider-Man is going to be quick-witted which is nice. Then the trailer goes into a direction of a coming-of-age film, sort of like The Breakfast Club or The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
I loved this aspect of the trailer. It shows how Peter Parker is just a kid, and he has to deal with the struggles of high school, which I feel the previous incarnations of the Spider-Man movies kind of lacked. I get the feeling they are going to balance Peter and Spider-Man. i also loved the addition of his friends, espiecally Zendaya's character.
It also shows Tony Stark being like a mentor or a father figure type of character towards Peter. If this is done right, this could show good character growth for Tony. I truly think that he has grown to care somewhat for Peter, but he wants him to shine as a superhero. This is because at the end of the trailer, we see Iron Man by Spider-Man's side.
The trailer then shifts into the more superhero aspect with the introduction to Micheal Keaton's Vulture. Apparently, this villain has been a campy villain to Spider-Man throughout the comic book run, but this villain seems like a badass. I just hope the character is drawn out well in the movie. Spider-Man has the most notable and coolest villains in the Marvelverse. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been lacking with their villains, so let's hope the Vulture is good. I mean you got Michael Keaton. Make his performance count. If you do, we can get great villains that we haven't seen before like Black Cat, Carnage, or even do Venom again (and do it right).
All and all, I'm very excited for this new Spider-Man film. I was very pleased with Tom Holland's performance, and this movie will be different from other movies in the MCU because of his age. Spider-Man has always been the hero that kids and teenagers can relate to because he is just like them. Everyone can see themselves as Spider-Man.
