I kind of getting a little worried about the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming movie. Not because I don't think that Tom Holland does a very good job at playing Peter Parker, in fact was brilliant as the web slinger in Captain America: Civil War. No, I'm getting a little worried about the film because I'm wondering if Sony hasn't learned enough from their past mistakes. I understand that Marvel is putting their two cents in when it comes to this movie, but Sony ultimately has the final say with the film, so yeah, I think I have good reason to feel this way.
When Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters next year, it will be the first solo film for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man that takes place in the MCU. We have learned a few things about the film over the summer, like that Tony Stark will be appearing in it (and maybe Iron Man, not sure on that one yet), we know that Michael Keaton has signed on to play the Vulture (Happy belated Birthday, by the way, Mike!), who creates his suit with the help of the Tinkerer, who is another villain from Marvel comics. Now, set photos have leaked out showing what looks to be Shocker, one of Spider-Man's rogues. So now we know that there will be three different villains that will be appearing in the new Spider-Man movie. Hmmm...why am I nervous about this?
Oh yeah! They had three villains fighting Spidey in Spider-Man 3 which started Tobey Maguire back in 2007, arguably the worst movie from that particular trilogy. They also had three villains in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which starred Andrew Garfield back in 2014, and was (again, arguably) the worst Spider-Man movie of all time. Way too many villains to give proper amount of time to building, making each of these films seem muddled and rushed. They didn't make sense to a lot of viewers, and in the end, it hurt the franchise, which is why we are getting are third Spider-Man series in 15 years. I'm just glad that they screwed The Amazing Spider-Man 2 up so bad or else we would have been tortured with a third one in that series. The things that they wanted to do in that movie were horrible on paper, and would've been even worse on film.
I'm probably getting worked up over nothing, Marvel is helping with this film, and I'm sure that they won't let a sub-par movie end up being released. The Russo brothers did a great job when dealing with all of the superheroes in Captain America: Civil War, giving each of the characters their own screen time and development, maybe I should give director Jon Watts a little faith in what he's doing as well. The pictures of Shocker are pretty cool, right? I don't know if there's been an official word on who's playing him, but IMDB has him listed as Bokeem Woodbine. That, and it was recently announced that Jon Favreau would also be appearing in the film. Nothing like getting the guy that started the whole MCU a part in the picture!
So what do you think? Do you think that I have pretty good reason to worry, or am I worrying over nothing? Let me know your thoughts on this in the comments section down below. Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters July 7, 2017.
