Being the first instalment of a planned trilogy, as well as fitting into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's to be expected that there's some things in Homecoming that lay the groundwork for the future. However, according to a few reviews, that future is bright, but at the expense of this movie.

Forbes write that "there is potential for a second film that is much better than this one," something echoed by THR, who say: "Maybe it'll get better the second time around."
