Spider-Man: Homecoming - 12 Biggest Questions It Leaves Unanswered

7. How Will Aunt May React?

The film proper ends with one final twist, as Aunt May - who didn't have that much to do during the movie - opens the door to Peter's bedroom, to find him standing there in his Spider-Man suit, reacting with a brilliantly delivered "What the f**k?!"

That's a big deal for both characters, as typically May does not know Peter's secret. But then, this isn't a typical May, so perhaps it shouldn't be too surprising they're continuing to do different things with the character.

Nonetheless, this could massively shake-up the dynamic between the two. We have no real idea how May will react beyond the initial shock, nor how it'll alter their relationship, or if it'll change Peter's approach now that his Aunt - the only family he has - knows he's Spider-Man.
