spider man homecoming trailer and concept art feat — Marvel

Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man returns to the big screen next summer, and we’re already starting to see footage and concept art from the movie as Marvel began to hype it up at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend.

While the cast and crew began filming Spider-Man: Homecoming a little more than a week ago, director Jon Watts and cast members brought along a preliminary teaser trailer using whatever scrounged up footage already exists. The studio also released concept art today featuring Spidey himself fighting off super villain The Vulture in an all-out dog fight. The fans seemed to thoroughly enjoy the trailer, for which you can read a recap on Comicbook.com.

The movie, which follows 10th grade Peter Parker in what will probably be the first true superhero coming of age film, is set for a July 7, 2017 release, and is being produced by Marvel and Columbia Pictures. Sony Pictures is along for the ride as the distribution company.

Spider-Man: Homecoming works within the now near-mature Marvel cinematic universe, after new Spider-Man actor Tom Holland made his debut as the character in Captain America: Civil War earlier this year. The movie promises to be a closer depiction of the original comic book character compared to other previous takes of the franchise, including Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s versions of the web-slinging superhero.

For one, the concept art looks to be ripped straight out of the comics, and fans watching the trailer at Comic-Con at Hall H were clearly happy that the footage reflected a similar take on the character.

While the film comes out next summer, a number of actors have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Donald Glover, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. As for The Vulture, Michael Keaton has been closely connected to the role, but there’s been no official confirmation from the studio.

10 things you need to know about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Miles swings into action in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."

Just like that, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and his extra-dimensional spider-pals are web-slinging back into our lives with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The sensational 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse dazzled audiences with a colorful splash of comic book-themed animation while highlighting the journey of young Miles Morales into the world of superheroism. As both film titles imply, Miles' Spider-Man isn't alone. There's a vast multiverse littered with countless variations of the wallcrawler, and in this sequel, Miles is seemingly still holding onto his connection with Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), a Spider-Woman from another universe who aided him in saving the multiverse.

With so many people sharing the same web-slinging moniker and powers, the real question becomes: is there an inherent fate or destiny all Spider-people have in common that makes them who they are?
