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

Thanks to ComingSoon.net , we have a break-down of exactly how Homecoming starts:

"The film literally begins in the shadow of Stark Tower, now with its trademark “A” still hanging on. Michael Keaton’s Toomes has arrived with his boys to begin the clean-up process, a nice little contract he’s picked up for his salvage business, only to be stopped by the Department of Damage Control (a nod to the classic Marvel comic series) who are taking over the clean up and send Toomes away. Following that, and the Sony and Marvel logos, things will jump into the middle of Civil War, just after Tony Stark has recruited Peter to his side of the fight. A montage will show Peter’s exploits in leaving New York, riding on a private jet to Germany, and taking place in the big airport fight. We’ll also see what he did right after that, hanging around in Europe… literally, as he explores the world in his brand-new Spider-Man suit."

The most interesting detail in there is the gap it fills in at the end of Civil War - namely the small, annoying question of how Peter Parker got home after the airport battle. Nice to see Jon Watts hasn't ignored the fan response to that.

From there, we get a smash-cut to Peter back in his normal life, having waited for a call from Tony Stark that never came.
