Spider-Man: Homecoming - 10 Spidey Movie Mistakes It Must Avoid
1. Ignoring The Future
So as we come to the end, what is next? Well, where there is one, there is always more, and with Tom Holland signed on for three arachnid solo films, we have a way to go yet. Homecoming needs to make sure that it bears this in mind, building a reasonable arc over its three films, but not forgetting it could be cancelled at any moment.
The problem with the Raimiverse was that it was so broad, then tried to cram too much into Spider-Man 3. The Amazing Spider-Man almost had the reverse effect, where it felt like it retrod the ground of Raimi's film and did very little else.
The rebooted franchise set up Rhino, but wow, way to waste an entire realm of possible villains. It had the right idea though, The Sinister Six is where a great Spider-Man film should head next, and there is only one way to do that...Mysterio.
The one character we have been dying to see is Quentin Beck. Given Holland's comedic turn in Civil War it is clear that Spider-Man will be the wisecracking hero we came to love, so there will be no hyper-realistic Nolanverse here. However, just imagine a darker version where Beck is the illusionist-cum-magician who is an actual menace to Spidey.
The early concept art for Keaton's Vulture looks pretty dark, so as long as Peter gets all the laughs, I am happy for the franchise to keep on swinging through. Homecoming is only the first in a new world of Parker and co., but let's just hope that Marvel let him crawl out of the drain that the character has slipped into since 2000, and not squash him with a rolled up newspaper.
