8 Things We Learned From The Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer

After months of waiting, last night we finally got our first look at the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thankfully, it seems to have carried on the good work of Captain America: Civil War and served up a faithful, yet fresh, take on the familiar hero.

Marvel sure aren’t being coy about the fact that Homecoming will tie in with the rest of the MCU, as Robert Downey Jr. is all over this trailer.

Peter is seen discreetly meeting up with Tony, where he asks him about what he has to do to join the Avengers. In a hilarious sequence, Tony offers some confusing advice. “Just don’t do anything I would do… And definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do… There’s a little grey area in there and that’s where you operate.” Tony then leans over to open the door, which Peter awkwardly mistakes for a hug.

The shorter, international trailer extends this scene, however. “But this does not mean you’re an Avenger,” Tony clarifies. This adds some context to the later scenes, featured in both trailers, where Tony tries to talk Peter out of going after the Vulture (or the “flying monster guy,” as Stark calls him).

This is something else that will please comics fans, who know that it took decades for Peter to join the Avengers, as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes always believed that Spidey was too young and immature to be part of their group.
