Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer 2 Breakdown - 34 Things You Must See

Just when you thought DC had some space to breathe with their excellent Justice League trailer, Marvel have gone and released their own exceptional teaser, debuting the second Spider-Man: Homecoming second trailer out of CinemaCon.

It's a hell of a spectacle, suggesting that Kevin Feige's assertion that it would take on the spirit of John Hughes was definitely only part of the story. In reality, we're getting a Frankenstein's monster that is part Hughes, part popcorn blockbuster and every inch an MCU movie.

There's a lot of plot in the teaser- or at least there appears to be - which has immediately been picked up by the more critical commenters, but there's an argument to say it was necessary to set out exactly what direction we're going in after a very recent failed reboot. There's also an argument that says there's no way Marvel would spoil their entire film: so don't lose your heads just yet.

And after so many years of Marvel not having Spider-Man to show off, it's inevitable that they'd get at least a little over-excited, isn't it? Plus, they didn't reveal everything - there's more action missing, we've still not seen The Tinkerer and you really get the sense there are more tricks up director Jon Watt's sleeve yet.

So what did we learn from the new Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer?
