Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer: Peter Parker is stuck between saving his city and finishing high school

After stealing the show in Avengers: Civil War earlier this year, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is back in our first look at the web slinger’s latest reboot.

Spider-Man Homecoming’s debut trailer premiered on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday night and it doesn’t disappoint. The two-minute, 16-second trailer shows Peter Parker doing his best to convince Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark that he’s ready for his spot on the Avengers—and that he can balance his superhero responsibilities while finishing high school. Best of all, the film seems to ditch the stale origin story format used by too many superhero films in recent memory.


Michael Keaton plays, of course, a bird-like villain, Vulture, and he’s threatening to kill everyone Parker loves. On the lighter side of things, when Parker isn’t being lectured by Stark, he’s checking out Laura Harrier's Liz Allan, accidentally revealing his powers to his best friend, and getting called out by Zendaya’s Michelle, whose character is rumored to be Parker's love interest.
