Spider-Man: Homecoming - 26 New Things We Just Learned

17. There's Probably Multiple High-School-Set Movies Coming

Though there has been some concern that Spidey might not actually be in the MCU for the long haul (more of which soon), Eric Carroll has laid out plans for multiple sequels - presumably still with Marvel:

“We really want to do multiple movies where he’s in high school... Going forward we would definitely treat [future Spider-Man movies] all as the same slate. So we would be as strategic about where future Spider-Man movies fall in the MCU of it all as we would if Sony weren’t involved, because there’s nothing in it for us or Sony to put a movie out at the wrong time or start confusing the continuity."

Director Watts felt that focusing on Peter as an actual child - helped by having an actor who actually looks like a teenager - helps Homecoming stand out from the other films:

"The Raimi one he’s only in high school for like ten minutes... [To have] Peter Parker be a kid that opens up a lot of possibilities that are only really explored at the beginning of the other two versions of the films.”
