‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Trailer Breakdown: Going Through the New Footage Frame-by-Frame

Posted on Wednesday, March 29th, 2017 by Jacob Hall

As we’ve seen from previous marketing, at least one portion of Homecoming takes place in Washington D.C. and now we know why Peter is forced to suit up while visiting the nation’s capital: there’s some kind of incident at the Washington Monument. That blue explosion looks an awful lot like the alien energy beam we saw Adrian Toomes using earlier in the trailer.

And because Tony Stark designed this suit, that spider emblem isn’t just for show. It detaches…

…and flies away, revealing itself to be a little drone. It’s specific use has yet to be revealed, but surely this thing will act as Spidey’s eyes and ears in difficult to reach locations.

Whatever the Washington Monument incident turns out to be, it seems to involve Peter’s science club. Note the matching yellow jackets on the students behind him! Is he just rescuing his fellow students from an error of their making or has the Vulture decided to make this battle personal?

So, how does a guy in a wing suit battle a human spider? Simple: you drag him so high into the sky that his web-slinging, wall-crawling abilities become completely useless.

If I had to guess, I’d say this entire plane sequence is the bridge between Peter having a quiet chat with Adrian Toomes and the scene with Peter defeated on the beach, surrounded by wreckage. And despite this sequence ending the trailer, this probably isn’t even from the movie’s third act. Marvel has gotten pretty good about hiding their final action scenes until their movies actually hit theaters.

As you’d expect from a mid-air battle where he’s wearing only a hoodie and ski mask, this fight does not seem to be going well for Peter.

And to be fair, it doesn’t seem to be going well for the plane, either.

Anyway, let’s close this out with a shot of homemade Spider-Man in action. This looks so goofy and I love it.

Spider-Man: Homecoming opens on July 7, 2017.
