You’d freak out too if your best friend was Spider-Man. In this first clip for Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon), is overwhelmed when he learns Peter’s secret identity. “You’re the Spider-Man,” Ned says. “From YouTube.” Hilarity ensues. What’s great about the clip is Ned encapsulates pretty much all of our reactions to learning who...

It’s this exchange where the Easter egg is placed. Did...
Today, two new movie posters for Spider-Man: Homecoming were unveiled and they’re the perfect way to surmise this new web-slinger: just relax. We initially got our first look at Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in last year’s Captain America: Civil War. He was one of the highlights of the movie and was very well-received.

Hollywood produced some good—and not so good—comic movies last year. Among the standouts, Fox’s Deadpool charmed audience with its naughty humor and ultra-violence.
