Tom Holland revealed that the main inspiration for Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming is Back to the Future’s Marty McFly.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is definitely embracing the work of 80s icon John Hughes (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Uncle Buck).
Tom Holland also spoke about how he thinks that the movie can stand alone if stripped from all of the superhero scenes.
Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts gave the young cast homework before production began on the upcoming movie, trying to get them into the same groove.
