The film is scheduled to begin principal photography in June 2016 in Atlanta and is scheduled to be released on July 7, 2017, in 3D, IMAX and IMAX 3D.

Premise

Peter Parker tries to balances his life as a high school student while also being the hero Spider-Man.[1]

Cast

A 15-year old[2] boy who received spider-like abilities after being bitten by a genetically altered spider. The producers were impressed by Holland’s performances in The Impossible, Wolf Hall, and In the Heart of the Sea, as well as numerous screen tests.[3] Holland stated he would take inspiration from the previous Spider-Man actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, but that he hoped to deliver something "new and exciting" with his take on Spider-Man.[4] He is signed for three films, not including his Captain America: Civil War appearance.[5][6]

Laura Harrier was cast in an unspecified role.[11]

Production

Development

"We want to play with Spider-Man in the high school years because frankly there’ve been five Spider-Man films and...there are so many things from the comics that haven’t been done yet. Not just characters or villains or supporting characters, but sides to his character....I think it was midway through the first film that he graduated high school. At the beginning of the second Marc Webb film, he graduated high school. And some of my favorite Spider-Man arcs and Spider-Man stories, he’s in high school for a lot of it. We want to explore that. That also makes him very, very different from any of our other characters in the MCU..."

—Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios[12]

Following the November 2014 hacking of Sony's computers, emails between Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal and president Doug Belgrad were released stating that Sony wanted Marvel Studios to produce a new trilogy of Spider-Man films while Sony retained "creative control, marketing and distribution". Discussions between Sony and Marvel broke down, and Sony planned to proceed with its own slate of Spider-Man films.[13] However, in February 2015, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios announced that they would release a new Spider-Man film with Kevin Feige and Pascal producing. The character would first appear in an earlier Marvel Cinematic Universe film,[14] reported to be Captain America: Civil War.[15] Marvel Studios would explore opportunities to integrate MCU characters into future Spider-Man films, which Sony Pictures would continue to finance, distribute, and have final creative control over.[14]

Feige stated that Marvel had been working to add Spider-Man to the MCU since at least October 2014, when they announced their full slate of Phase Three films, saying, "Marvel doesn’t announce anything officially until it’s set in stone. So we went forward with that Plan A in October, with the Plan B being, if [the deal] were to happen with Sony, how it would all shift. We’ve been thinking about [the Spider-Man film] as long as we’ve been thinking about Phase Three."[16] It was revealed that Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, producers for director Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man series, would serve as executive producers,[17] and that neither Webb nor Amazing Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield would return for the film.[18] Sony was reportedly looking for an actor younger than Garfield to play Spider-Man,[17] with Logan Lerman and Dylan O'Brien considered front-runners to take the role.[19]

In March 2015, writer and director Drew Goddard was being considered to write and direct the film,[20][21] while O'Brien denied that he had been approached for the role.[22] Goddard, who was previously attached to Sony's film based on the Sinister Six, later said he declined to work on the new film as he thought he "didn't really have an idea" for it, adding "it's very hard to say, 'Ok, now write a new movie,'" after spending a year working on the Sinister Six film and being in that mindset.[23] The next month, while promoting Avengers: Age of Ultron, Feige stated that the character of Peter Parker would be about 15 to 16 years old.[12] He also added that the film would not be an origin story for the character, saying, "In Spider-Man’s very specific case, where there have been two retellings of that origin in the last whatever it’s been – [thirteen] years – for us we are going to take it for granted that people know that, and the specifics. But...it is inherent to who his character is. [W]e want to reveal it in different ways and spend much more time focusing on this young high school kid in the MCU dealing with his powers.”[16] Feige later expaned on this, saying, "There are events that made Peter who he was, and we’ll certainly allude to those events, but we’re much more focused on his future and how he continues to grow and have a steep learning curve... on how to be his own hero."[24] Later in the month, it was reported that actors Nat Wolff, Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet, and Liam James were under consideration by Sony and Marvel to play Spider-Man,[25] with Holland and Butterfield the front-runners.[26]

In May 2015, Jonathan Levine, Ted Melfi, Jason Moore, John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein, and Jared Hess were being considered to direct the film.[27] Butterfield, Holland, Judah Lewis, Matthew Lintz, Charlie Plummer, and Charlie Rowe screen tested for the lead role against Robert Downey Jr., who portrays Iron Man in the MCU, for "chemistry".[28][5] The six were chosen out of a search of over 1,500 actors to test in front of Feige, Pascal, and the Russo brothers, the directors of Captain America: Civil War.[28] By early June 2015, Levine and Melfi became the favorites to direct the film, with Daley & Goldstein and Jon Watts also in consideration,[29] and Feige and Pascal narrowed the actors considered to Holland and Rowe, with both screen testing with Downey again. Holland also tested with Chris Evans, who portrays Captain America in the MCU, and emerged as the favorite.[5] On June 23, Marvel and Sony officially confirmed that Holland would star as Spider-Man and that Watts would direct the film.[3] The Russos "were pretty vocal about who [they] wanted for the part", since the character indeed appears first in Civil War, pushing to cast an actor close to the age of Peter Parker in order to differentiate from the previous portrayals. They also praised Holland for having a dancing and gymnastics background.[6]

Feige stated that the films of John Hughes would be a major influence and that Peter's personal growth and development would be just as important as his role as Spider-Man, saying, "What we wanted was a movie where the stakes could be as high as 'This bad person is going to do this bad thing, and a lot of people could die' OR 'You don’t get home in time and your aunt is going to figure this out, and your whole life is going to change.' Particularly at that age, in high school, everything feels like life or death." He also said that the film hoped to use one of Spider-Man's rogues that have not been seen in film yet,[30] and that filming would begin in June 2016.[31] In July 2015, it was reported that Marisa Tomei had been offered the role of May Parker, Peter's aunt.[7] This report caused backlash on social media, with comic book fans opining that Tomei was "too young and attractive to portray the character".[32] It was also revealed that Daley and Goldstein, after missing out on the director role, had begun negotiations to write the screenplay,[33] with both confirming shortly after that they had reach a deal to do so.[34] In October 2015, Watts said he was looking to make the film a coming-of-age story to see the growth of Parker, citing Say Anything..., Almost Famous, and Can't Buy Me Love as some of his favorite films in that genre.[35] The next month, Holland revealed that filming would take place in Atlanta, as it would be "cheaper to build a New York set than it is to shoot" in New York, though the production may "end up [in New York] for one week or two."[36] In December, Oliver Scholl signed on to be the production designer for the film.[37]

Pre-production

In January 2016, Sony shifted the film's release date from July 28 to July 7, 2017,[38] and revealed that the film would be digitally remastered for IMAX 3D in post-production.[39] J. K. Simmons expressed interest in reprising his role as J. Jonah Jameson from the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films.[40] In early March, Zendaya was cast in the film as Michelle, while Tomei was confirmed as May Parker.[9][8] The following month, Feige confirmed that characters from previous MCU films would appear in the film,[41] while also noting that the deal formed with Sony does not specifically denote which characters can and cannot crossover between the franchises. Additionally, Feige expanded on the relationship between Sony and Marvel Studios, saying, "I don’t know exactly what the credits will be, but it is a Sony Pictures production of a Marvel Studios film. The agreement was that it is very much a Sony Pictures movie...we are the creative producers. We are the ones hiring the actor, introducing him in [Captain America: Civil War], and then working right now on the script and soon to be shooting".[24]

Also in April, at CinemaCon 2016, Sony announced the title of the film to be Spider-Man: Homecoming.[1][42] On using the subtitle "Homecoming" for the film, Sony Pictures chairman Thomas Rothman noted it was "both a high school reference" and a reference to the character returning to Marvel by joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[42] Michael Keaton entered talks to play a villain,[43] while Tony Revolori and Laura Harrier joined the cast.[11]

Release

Spider-Man: Homecoming is scheduled to be released in North America on July 7, 2017,[38] in 3D, IMAX,[3] and IMAX 3D.[39] The film was originally slated for release on July 28, 2017.[38]
