Spider-Man: Homecoming director teases movie’s tone as “unique” and “surprising”

Over the years, people have grown tired of Spider-Man movies because they've had to relive his origin story several times and see storylines already done before but that may not be the case for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Director Jon Watts spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the movie's tone and called it "unique".

"I think it has a unique, surprising tone that's different from the others, and different from the other movies in this universe," he explained. "I'm pretty proud of the tone we struck. It's fun. It's able to go from a very small story, and really emotional small stakes and just get bigger and bigger until it's on a massive scale without ever losing sight of the story we were trying to tell."

A new trailer was released yesterday and it showed the humor and action we're used to with a Spider-Man movie, but it also adds new elements unseen before. It'll give an extra focus on Peter Parker's life as a kid and his troubles with his social life/school. Additionally, Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, spoke about his passion for the project and how hard he worked.

"I've never worked harder on anything in my life. It was a nonstop job and I felt so passionate and proud of what we were creating," Holland said. "I'm so proud that I was able to give my best, and I'm so grateful that I didn't get injured. I did a lot of stunts. At the very end, I fell down some stairs, and tweaked my ACL just a little bit."

It'll be interesting to see how different Spider-Man: Homecoming is compared to other Spider-Man movies when it releases this summer.
