Spider-Man 2017 Movie: 8 Potential Storylines For The Tom Holland Era
8. Homecoming (1984)
If a Marvel domain name registration the BBC recently flagged up is anything to go by, Hollands solo debut in red and blue will called Spider-Man: Homecoming, a title that will have comic book fanatics ears pricking up like the Green Goblins.
For the uninitiated, Homecoming is an Amazing Spider-Man story that dates back to 1984. Its a tale centred on Spideys Symbiote costume, the black mess of gooey malevolence that later gave birth to the villainous Venom.
There are a number of reasons to buy into this rumour. If the domain filing alone doesnt have you convinced, consider that Spideys first outing for Marves movie arm is literally a homecoming, and the word itself conjures images of high school proms, tying in neatly with the age of Hollands Peter Parker.
Furthermore, the 80s comic book features Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye and Thor among its roster of guest stars. Three of those are poised to share the stage with our wall-crawling protagonist in Civil War, so Homecoming could be a natural continuation of the next Cap movie.
Many of Homecomings major players are already integral parts of the MCU and adapting the story would give the studio the chance to bring more of its classic characters into the celluloid fold, like Black Cat and eventually Venom.
However, were looking at a loose adaptation, since the Spider-Man of the source material is a seasoned crimefighter, not a school-age newbie and thats hardly the only problem. It also feels too soon into Marvels stewardship of the hero to be going down the Symbiote route, so that Homecoming domain could be just a placeholder.
