Sony Pictures has released the first 10 minutes ofSpider-Man: Homecoming, which comes just after it beat outGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2as thebiggest superhero movieof the year at the worldwide box office ($874.4 million). WhileWonder Woman’s $411.7 million still hasSpider-Man: Homecomingbeat domestically ($331.9 million), it’s still been an impressive run for the new web-slinger, with Tom Holland becoming the third actor to take over the role in the past 15 years. If you still haven’t gotten around to seeing the movie yet, these first 10 minutes not only set up the journey of the villainous Adrian Toomes, but also takes fans back to the events ofCaptain America: Civil War, from a much different perspective.
This video debuted onSony Pictures Entertainment YouTubetoday, just one day beforeSpider-Man: Homecomingwill be available on Digital HD, which opens withAdrian Toomesand his salvage crew starting to clean up after the Battle of New York inThe Avengers. After an impromptu visit from several government officials, he’s told that all Avengers-related clean-up missions will now be under the jurisdiction of a new government-controlled branch called Damage Control, which Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) himself is overseeing. Instead of handing in all of the alien technology to Damage Control, Toomes decides to keep it all, and eight years later, he has built a thriving and illegal business.
The first 10 minutes also fills in some of the gaps between two key scenes inCaptain America: Civil War. We first metPeter ParkerinCivil Warduring a scene where Tony Stark unexpectedly shows up at Peter’s house, chatting with Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), when he gets recruited to join Team Iron Man in this conflict. The next time we see him in the movie is when Tony calls for him (“Underoos”), when he springs into action and steals Captain America’s (Chris Evans) shield. We see through a video diary how Happy Hogan flies Peter from New York to Berlin, while giving him his brand new Spidey suit, and we even get some footage from the Berlin airport battle from a different perspective, through Peter’s video diary.
