The trailer includes a confirmation that Tony Stark is responsible for turning Vulture into a villain. He lost his salvage business - which seemingly included scrapping technology left over from the Battle Of New York (or the Incident, depending on how you lean) - when Tony Stark introduced clean-up company Damage Control.

That's the same company from the comics that will spin-off into its own comedy TV show.

Director Jon Watts has previously confirmed Damage Control’s existence and importance to the Homecoming plot to Fandango:

Yeah, possibly. For me, in thinking about this movie, it just fit in with our overall philosophy with the kind of story we wanted to tell. In the same way that Peter gives us the ground level view of what it’s like to be a 15-year-old kid in a New York City that was almost destroyed by aliens before the Avengers showed up. You also wonder after all those huge messes are made, who’s sent in to clean up? Is it the normal people who would be hired to do something like that? Does it become a government operation? Is it dangerous? What do you do with all the alien body parts that you find? I really like asking those practical questions about this world, and then using that to drive the story.
