Spider-Man: Homecoming - 10 Things We Want To See In The Trailer
1. An Introduction To Liz Allan
For most casual viewers, Spider-Man's love interest begins and ends with Mary Jane Watson. That was the case, anyway, until The Amazing Spider-Man films introduced audiences to Gwen Stacy, performed by the brilliant Emma Stone. After that, however, few are likely to be able to rattle off anyone else who has tickled Spidey's fancy across his innumerable iterations.
Which is why it's important to establish Peter's new love interest in Homecoming, a character by the name of Liz Allan. Liz is being performed actress Laura Harrier, and the performance is set to be her breakout role.
Peter's love is generally the character - second to Aunt May - who significantly influences his life (and who when threatened ups the stakes dramatically). Show us some scenes of interaction between the two, then, giving audiences a relationship to root for.
In the comics, Liz is often depicted as a popular high school student, so it'd be interesting to see her initially playfully dismiss Peter. This would would only serve to make us root more for Peter. and excited to see how their relationship ultimately plays out in the film.
