Look out! Here comes theSpider-Mantrailer! Ever since Marvel started connecting the characters from their various movies together, fans have been hoping that someday, that would involve Spider-Man. Thanks to a very complicated deal thatKevin Feigeworked out with Sony, that is finally happening, andSpider-Man: Homecomingis going to bePeter Parker’s first solo adventure as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If we weren’t excited for the movie already, we surely are now, because Marvel has finally done us all a huge favore and released the first trailer forSpider-Man: Homecoming.
Fans have been waiting rather impatiently for this first trailer ever since Marvel Studios debuted the first video for the movie during their Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con over the summer. That footage was never made public, so only a choice few got to see what Marvel had in store. Now the cat is out of the bag and we can get out first, really good look at what a soloSpider-Manmovie in the MCU looks like. There may have been some early hesitation withSpider-Man: Homecoming, given that we just hadSony’s failedAmazing Spider-Manreboot not all that long ago. But afterTom Hollanddelivered what we all were hoping to see from him inCaptain America: Civil War, that quickly changed. This trailer further solidifies everyone’s excitement about this new Spidey.
