Didn’t I promise you guys something yesterday? I have a feeling I did, but for the life of me I can’t remember what. Hmmm…what could it be? Banana bread? A case of Tommy Bahama shirts? A Hug? Oh, wait, now I got it. It was the new, glorious, funny, all-around amazeballs SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING trailer! What can I say…I’m a man of my word!
What I like most about this trailer is it digs deeper into the relationship of Parker (Tom Holland) and Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). I think a lot of people felt adding Iron Man to the proceedings was just an act of cash grab, but the father/son angle feels completely natural, as Stark believes that with Parker he can make someone better, not cocky and arrogant and brash like himself. There's a whole new sense of drama added that wouldn't be there if it were just an average origin story. Oh, and obviously Michael Keaton is gonna be badass.
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING swings in on July 7.
