Spider-Man: Homecoming | Clip: You Gotta Get Better At This

Spider-Man (Tom Holland) tries to intimidate petty criminal Aaron Davis (Donald Glover), but the future Prowler is not buying it in this clip from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Get the movie now on 4K.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is the 2017 live-action feature film made jointly by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It follows Captain America: Civil War, where the character is introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is the first film in the third Spider-Man film series.

Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, which saw Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) recruit Spider-Man into official Avengers business, high-school student Peter Parker (Tom Holland) has now returned to New York City, hoping to prove himself worthy of his heightened status in the super hero community. At the same time, a salvage worker named Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) has been doing a brisk business rounding up super-powered objects in the post-Chitauri-war New York, and converting them into super weapons he can sell to on the black market. He's even crafted a flying battle suit for himself and now goes by The Vulture.

Also appearing in the film are Zendaya as MJ, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, Jacob Batalon as Ned, Laura Harrier as Liz and Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson. Returning from the MCU are Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. There are also a number of character cameos familiar to Spider-Man readers, such as Donald Glover as Aaron Davis (aka The Prowler, aka Miles Morales' uncle), Michael Chernus as The Tinkerer, Bokeem Woodbine as The Shocker and Michael Mando as The Scorpion.

Jon Watts directed the movie from a script by a fleet of writing teams. The movie was a unique experiment in studio cooperation, with Marvel having signed away the film rights for Spider-Man to Sony Pictures Entertainment long before they became a powerhouse movie studio. The opportunity to bring their flagship character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe turned out to be a no-brainer for both studios, giving Sony massive success at the box office.

The film was followed by Holland's portrayal of Peter Parker in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and the direct sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home.
