Spider-Man: Homecoming

Even though Marvel’s version of Spider-Man only just made his minor debut inCaptain America: Civil War, we actually know a great deal about the studio’s take on the character, and their plans for his big-screen future. Spider-Man: Homecoming will be a solo Marvel movie, but likely will pull influences – and cameos – from the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe. What, then, do we know about Spider-Man: 

Marvel and Sony, which will handle distribution duties on Spider-Man: Homecoming, have set a release date of July 7, 2017. That’s actually a few weeks earlier than the original release date of July 28. There was no reason given for the date shift when it happened. What it means is that Spider-Man: Homecoming will have a weekend all to itself (for the moment), instead of facing off against Sony’s Jumanji remake, and an Untitled Disney Live-Action Fairy Tale movie.
