Thanks in large part to Tom Holland’s cracking debut as Marvel’s new wall-crawler in Captain America: Civil War, for better or worse, there’s been a greater spotlight placed on the actor’s upcoming standalone movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Still nine months out from theatrical release, behind-the-scenes images and videos continue to pour onto the interwebs from Jon Watts’ reboot, with the latest info dump hailing from Just Jared.
Tethered to a helicopter and soaring over what we assume is NYC, here we see Spidey accompanied by a number of redheads in the snaps below, and though early chatter points to this being Mary Jane Watson – a role that may or may not be reserved for Zendaya in the finished piece – it seems that this is actually Tom Holland swinging in to rescue a number of civilians. At least, his stunt double is. Are these hapless citizens being pulled from the clutches of Michael Keaton’s Vulture? We’ll leave that one to you.

Whatever side of the fence you find yourself on, Holland and Keaton will anchor the Spider-Man: Homecoming cast, rubbing shoulders with Civil War‘s Robert Downey Jr., Logan Marshall-Green, Donald Glover, Kenneth Choi, and MCU veteran Jon Favreau among many, many others.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is due to scurry into theaters nationwide on July 7, 2017. Only then will we find out if Zendaya is really playing MJW opposite Tom Holland’s Spidey.
