Spider-Man: Homecoming is a 2017 American superhero film based on the Marvel

Comics character Spider-Man, co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, and
distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the second Spider-Man film reboot and the 16th
film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Jon Watts, from a
screenplay by the writing teams of Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, Watts
and Christopher Ford, and Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Tom Holland stars as Peter
Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Gwyneth
Paltrow, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Bokeem
Woodbine, Tyne Daly, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter
Parker tries to balance high school life with being Spider-Man while facing the Vulture (Keaton).
In February 2015, Marvel Studios and Sony reached a deal to share the film rights for Spider-
Man, integrating the character into the established MCU. The following June, Holland was cast
as the title character, and Watts was hired to direct. This was followed shortly by the hiring of
Daley and Goldstein. In April 2016, the film's title was revealed, along with additional cast,
including Downey in his MCU role of Tony Stark / Iron Man. Principal photography began in June
2016 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, and continued in Atlanta, Los
Angeles, and New York City. The other screenwriters were revealed during filming, which
concluded in Berlin in October 2016. The production team made efforts to differentiate the film
from previous Spider-Man films.
Spider-Man: Homecoming premiered in Hollywood on June 28, 2017, and was released in the
United States on July 7, as part of Phase Three of the MCU. Homecoming grossed over
$880 million worldwide, becoming the second-most-successful Spider-Man film and the sixth-
highest-grossing film of 2017. It received praise for the light tone, its focus on Parker's high
school life, and the performances, particularly of Holland and Keaton. Two sequels have been
released: Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). A new
trilogy of live-action films from Sony and Marvel Studios is in development.
