We are probably going to be seeing the first official trailer forSpider-Man: Homecomingvery soon, but some lucky fans in Brazil got a taste of what’s to come. Sony held a panel at the Comic Con Experience 2016 in São Paulo, Brazil, where they showed a brief trailer for the movie. The footage, unfortunately, didn’t make its way online, but a description of the footage has and what was revealed is very exciting for longtimeSpider-Manfans.
Vice President and Executive Editor for Marvel’s digital media teamRyan Penagoswas in attendance at the panel and took to hisTwitteraccount to give a good description of what was shown to the audience. According to his report, the footage showsTom Hollandas Spidey talking to Happy Hogan, played byJon Favreauin theIron Manseries, in a POV style. But the most exciting part has to do with asuit upgrade. As has been rumored for some time, this footage confirmed that the newSpider-Mansuit will feature the classicSteve Ditkoinspired “web wings.” Here is the full description of the footage.
“The Spider-Man Homecoming footage was short but AWESOME. Starts from Spidey’s POV, talking with Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau). There’s a case from Tony Stark with an “upgrade” for Spidey. Then we see Spidey leap off a building, open his arms, web wings! There were a few more flashes of shots, but I can’t remember. That classic underarm webbing look was just so rad.”
The clip was reportedly very brief, but based on the description alone it sounds likeSpider-Man: Homecomingcould be everything Marvel fans hoped it would be. This, coupled with the footage that was shown over the summer at San Diego Comic-Con, gives a lot of cause for excitement. Aside from the web wings, it is unclear what the “upgrade"Tony Starkgives toPeter Parkerin the clip is, but that seems to be something Marvel wants to keep as a surprise. At least for now. Rumor has it that the fullSpider-Man: Homecomingtrailer is attached to debut withRogue One: A Star Wars Storylate this month, so we could be seeing some version of this footage in less than two weeks.
Tom Hollandmade his debut as the new live-action Peter Parker/Spider-Man inCaptain America: Civil Warover the summer. There was some fatigue and hesitation about recasting the role yet again after Sony’s failedThe Amazing Spider-Manfranchise reboot. However, his portrayal was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from both fans and critics, even though he was only technically featured in two scenes (not counting the post-credits scene). So expectations are very high forSpider-Man: Homecoming, to say the least. Hopefully, Marvel Studios can deliver on the promise, but a couple of relatively small missteps aside, the studio has a tremendous track record, so it is hard to imagine they will blow it. The description of this footage alone already makes it seem like they understand what they are doing.
