Spider-Man: Homecoming - Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

12. "Karen"

Spider-Man Homecoming

Once Peter is able to remove the Training Wheels protocol from his Stark-empowered Spidey suit, we're introduced to his "suit lady", the voice of his unheralded in-built AI who fills in some exposition by revealing the extent of what his new suit can do.

She's played by Jennifer Connelly, who brings warmth and an almost flirtatious spirit to the character, who becomes increasingly invested in Peter's teenage fascination with Liz. In that dynamic, it's almost possible to recognise the same Pinocchio-like fetishism for emotion that sees EVE learning about love from Wall-E, and it's hard not to find it all adorable.

It's a great touch to have Connelly involved as Spider-Man's AI when her real-life husband played Iron Man's original AI, JARVIS, but her playful performance is good in itself too.
