MCU Spider-Man 3 - Everything We Know So Far

11. It'll Be Peter's Final Year In High School

Tom Holland loves a good spoiler - so much so that we've seen Marvel capitalise on his reputation to reveal specific details regarding their films. Be that as it may, it's unclear if the studio wanted this specific detail out in the open, with Holland having spilled the beans a while back that his Spider-Man films would be almost like a 'high school trilogy'.

Speaking to Screen Rant on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Holland was queried regarding his earlier comments that the Harry Potter films were a "perfect example" of what these new Spider-Man movies could achieve.

As those familiar with the Potter franchise will attest, those films followed the eponymous wizard through each year of his time in Hogwarts, all the way up until his final year at the school. Given Far From Home picks up Peter as he commences the eleventh grade, that would leave him with one final year of High School in the final film.

Holland confirmed that it would be the "formula" Marvel would take with Spidey's films, which pretty much confirms the untitled threequel will follow Peter through to graduation. (Just so long as he navigates that ending reveal, of course.)

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
