Sony’s Spider-man Homecoming has passed the 200-million mark this weekend at the box office bringing in another 45 million for its second week though it was still knocked to second because of this week’s new blockbuster War of the Planet of the Apes that barely managed to take first with just 10 million over.
The third reboot within the turn of the century, follows Peter Parker as an awkward teen who is trying to balance school life with that of being a superhero. He goes to the Avengers Headquarter on a “retreat” where we briefly see Captain America, Hulk and the other Marvel superheroes. Then he is sent home with his own suit and given instructions to take it slow.
Frustrated that he can’t do more, Parker sets out on adventures on his own, after school looking for crime fighting opportunities. He ends up uncovering a heist, that was 8 years in the making, but the Avengers still can’t take his 14-year-old self seriously.
At 2 hour 13 minute run time, will Peter Parker be able to prove himself to the Avengers and be able to save New York from the Vulture? Spider-man Homecoming stars newcomer, Tom Holland as Peter Parker, along with Marisa Tomei playing is Aunt May, with cameos from of course comic creator Stan Lee as well as the Avengers themselves, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and Chris Evans as Captain America, as well as Michael Keaton as the Villain “Vulture” and Gwyneth Paltrow as the reporter Pepper Potts.
Overall, Spider-man Homecoming will have audiences laughing at the awkward comedy as well as cheering for Spider-man when he finally realizes who he is on the inside. Make sure to see Spider-man Homecoming in a theater near you.
