Spider-Man: Homecoming - 13 Things We Already Know
8. We're Going Back To High School (But It's Not An Origin)
Though The Amazing Spider-Man had Peter back at school after Raimi's Peter Parker grew up into a (miserable) young adult, Marvel are big on being the first to show a much younger Spidey in high-school.
As Kevin Feige told Slashfilm, the point with Spider-Man is that he offers a completely different experience point to the rest of the Avengers: he doesn't run a business, or worry about grown-up love or responsibilities, he balances his heroics with entirely different concerns:
"We wanted to show a much younger Spidey, in contrast to our other heroes, a Spidey who as was he was in the early 60s, when he was first created in the Marvel bullpen was totally different from the Marvel heroes. The other heroes dont have to worry about homework. They dont have to worry about being home at a certain time. Thats what makes Spider-Man Spider-Man. We also wanted to let audiences know hes already Spider-Man; hes been Spider-Man for a little while when we meet him."
But make no mistake, this is not an origin story - as Feige says everyone in the world already knows it - and thankfully we won't see a retreading of the same ground.
