The story
Why watch Homecoming?
After his encounter with the Avengers, Peter Parker returns to his life in Queens with ambitions that reach beyond his daily routine. Tony Stark keeps an eye on the young hero, while the arrival of the Vulture puts Peter’s priorities to the test. Directed by Jon Watts, this 2017 film brings Spider-Man’s MCU story home.
The attraction is the distance between Peter’s ambitions and his experience. School, home and superhero work compete for his attention, giving the action a personal scale. Watch for a hero learning that eagerness and readiness are different things, with an everyday world that matters as much as the next impressive rescue.

A starting point
Civil War introduces this Peter Parker alongside the wider MCU cast. Homecoming then follows him back to his own neighbourhood; we suggest that pair if you want the context for his relationship with Tony.
Story & release
Where it fits
Homecoming is Tom Holland’s first solo Spider-Man film in the MCU. Sony places the story after Peter’s introduction in Captain America: Civil War. Start with that appearance for the ensemble context, or use Homecoming to spend more time in Peter’s own world.
