‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ star posts aerial selfie as premiere reminder

Marvel’s friendly neighborhood web-slinger returns to the big screen exactly one year from yesterday (July 7), and Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland marked the occasion with a sky-high photo of himself in costume on the set of the film.

The photo features Holland in his Spidey suit high above the ground as the crew of Homecoming looks on far below him. He also offers up Spider-Man’s signature web-shooting pose with one hand as he celebrates reaching the one-year mark before the film’s arrival in theaters.

Posted on Holland’s Instagram account, the photo is captioned, “1 Year until #spidermanhomecoming hits theaters, are you ready … thought you would like to see a little selfie I took earlier.”

After making his debut as both Peter Parker and his costumed alter ego in this year’s Captain America: Civil War, Holland goes solo in the 2017 film intended to bring the character fully into Marvel’s cinematic universe.

Marisa Tomei, who also appeared in Civil War as Peter’s Aunt May, reprises her role for Homecoming. She’s joined by Michael Keaton as the film’s unidentified villain (rumored to be The Vulture), Logan Marshall-Green as a mysterious, secondary villain, Kenneth Choi as the principal of Peter’s school, and pop musician Zendaya as a character named Michelle. Robert Downey Jr. is also expected to make a cameo as Tony Stark, and actors Donald Glover, Martin Starr, Michael Barbieri, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Hannibal Burress, Michael Mando, and Angourie Rice are also rumored for unidentified roles in the film.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is directed by Cop Car filmmaker Jon Watts from a script by Vacation writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. The movie is currently filming in Atlanta.

Set to debut in both standard and IMAX theaters, Spider-Man: Homecoming is scheduled to premiere July 7, 2017.

Kevin Feige reveals when Miles Morales’ Spider-Man could make his MCU debut
Miles shooting his webs in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."

Comic book fans have been wondering for years when Miles Morales might make his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming encouraged those questions by not only marking the beginning of Sony Pictures' ongoing partnership with Marvel Studios, but also by briefly featuring Miles' canonical uncle, Aaron Davis (Donald Glover), who mentions he has a nephew he'd like to look out for in the film.

Marvel hasn't done much since then to set up a potential role for Miles in the MCU, but his popularity as a character has grown exponentially thanks to his leading role in Insomniac Games' Spider-Man video games, as well as the immensely successful animated films Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Now, after at least seven years of waiting, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has given fans a vague idea of when Miles might make his MCU debut.

What’s next for Marvel films after Venom: The Last Dance?
Venom talks to Eddie in Venom: The Last Dance.

Now that Venom: The Last Dance has premiered in theaters, Sony revealed more of its plans for the Lethal Protector and its cinematic universe in relation to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This threequel saw the symbiote god Knull send an army of his alien minions to Earth to harness Venom's power so Knull could break free from his cosmic prison.

Though The Last Dance was billed as Eddie Brock and Venom's last adventure together, the way the film sets up future stories involving Knull and the symbiotes implies that their story is far from over. And since Venom has yet to meet Spider-Man, it's unlikely Sony will let that hype and buildup be for nothing. Now that The Last Dance is finally in cinemas, here's everything that's on the horizon for Venom and the rest of these Marvel films.
