After witnessing the death of Uncle Ben in both Sam Raimi’s original 2002 Spider-Man film and Marc Webb’s Amazing Spider-Man reboot in 2012, audiences will not be treated to a third rendition of the tragedy in this summer’s Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Much like Superman and Batman, Your Friendly Neighborhood’s origin is one of the best known in all of comics.
The mantra “With great power comes great responsibility” is one of Spider-Man’s calling cards, highlighting the importance of being a selfless hero.
Tom Holland is the third big screen Spider-Man in 15 years, so the filmmakers placed an onus on changing things up a bit to make Homecoming feel fresh.
