It has been twenty years since the world met young actor Tobey Maguire as an orphan, a weird, not-so-popular high school student, Peter Parker, whose life stood for old white. But when he was bitten by a radioactive spider on a lab tour, Peter gained unexpected flexibility, clear vision, the ability to cling to the surface, climb walls, and launch wrist nets.

The film Spider-Man, directed by Sam Raimi, was born in 2002. The first film with Willem Dafo as Norman Osborn or the villain Green Goblin, young Kirsten Dunst as Peter’s classmate Mary Jane and with James France as Harry Osborn was such a success that the second and third sequels followed.

But the greatest interest has waned. Two films, Amazing Spider-Man, directed by Marc Webb, tried to resurrect fame, but they were failures. And then in 2015, Sony and Marvel agreed that Spider-Man could appear in several Marvel Cinematic Universe films – and it worked.

And here’s the end of the secret. Curious, Spider-Man’s identity will be revealed for the first time in film history.

The title hero got the face of Tom Holland, and even though he didn’t have his own movie at the time, Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, and others did pretty well in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. The new Spiderman series could start.

Identity revealed
“With great power comes great responsibility.” These words represented in every sense of Peter Parker’s stories – from comics to television series, Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, The Amazing Spider-Man duo to Marvel’s works – the end of childhood, adolescence and subsequent determination to act. Until now, however, Peter Parker has been protected by his secret identity.

However, in the film Homeless, the identity of a 17-year-old high school student from the neighborhood is revealed. Peter’s decision-making has been much more complicated since then, as Peter and Spider-Man’s paths merge into one path.
–
“Peter always tries to do the right thing,” says director Jon Watts, but adds that it’s not always easy to determine what’s right. “Peter can convince himself that the right thing is right for him. He is divided because he sees the contradictions between what he wants right now and where his destiny leads him. And sometimes situations that seem very clear at first turn out to be much more complicated. ”

Become yourself
“Homeless begins immediately after the events of Far From Home, which we’ve longed for – to continue the story as soon as the previous film ended,” adds producer Kevin Feige.
–
“We have finally succeeded here, but it is not pleasant for Peter. When he starts his final year, he is surrounded by a lot of confusion. In general, it’s a completely different situation than the one we encountered in Homecoming when he was in his second year. “
–
Already at the end of the film Far from Home, Peter is ready to become himself and also the hero that everyone sees in him. However, he is suddenly accused of murdering Quentin Beck (aka Mysteria), who revealed his secret identity, and Peter finds himself in a strange situation.

“The whole world has turned upside down. The moment he should be doing well — he’ll be in his final year of high school, my girlfriend has found a balance between Spider-Man and Peter Parker — and it’s going to go wrong, he’s no longer able to separate his superhero responsibilities from normal life. and thus his loved ones will be in great danger, “says one of the film’s authors, Chris McKenna.

Tom Holland, who is playing the title character for the fifth time, says of Peter: “When his friends are at stake, when his aunt is in trouble because of him, when he realizes that he has indirectly ruined their lives, he knows he has to do something. And I like the reminder of how young Peter is: when he goes to see Doctor Strang and begs him if he can’t just make everyone forget who he is, we see how naive he is. That’s a consideration that would only affect a child. “

The director is right
In addition to Tom Holland, other actors are returning, led by Jacob Batalon as Ned and Zendaya in the role of MJ. The trio became very close from the beginning of filming, and director Watts sometimes had to consider when to let them go crazy and when to tame them.
–
“Sometimes it’s a nightmare for him because we have so much fun together on the set that it’s hard to look after us. But it adds depth to our relationships that the actors just can’t play, “Holland said of the filming, adding that in return, everyone is aware of who has the main say.
–
“As an actor, I always make sure the director knows he has everything under control. My job is to do what he tells me, and his job is to guide me. We may not agree on something and I will express my opinion, but he has the main say. And I say yes, boss, no, boss. “

The representatives of the villains Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx in the roles of Green Goblin, Doc Ock and Electra are also returning. “It was great to watch them re-dress their costumes and get used to their characters,” says Holland. “And take note, for example, of how Alfred was amazed by technological advances and how films have changed during that time.”

When he filmed Spider-Man 2, his tentacles were said to be basically puppets – his movements were handled by four or five people. This time he was on a special arm, formed by a platform on a pole with a huge weight at the end.
–
“He can stand at the end and they can move with him. He acted like a small child who just found himself in front of a bright Christmas tree with lots of presents, ”Holland recalls.
