As I’m sure all of you are aware, getting into your superhero costume when someone needs saving can be a bit difficult. Well, it turns out it’s not just awkward for us, it’s the same for Spider-man.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is currently shooting in NYC, and as a couple people managed to capture, that’s included actor Tom Holland going into an alley, stripping to his underwear and putting on his Spidey suit. Apparently the scene involves him seeing a ‘man in a CGI suit’ attacking a convenience store. In proper superhero fashion, he then heads off to put on his suit, which doesn’t prove too easy.
You can take a look at the set videos below, which suggest we may get to see a little Tom Holland skin when the movie hits cinemas on July 7th, 2017.

Obviously it’s impossible to fully judge a movie based solely on vague casting reports. Hell, we may not even get a good sense of what Spider-Man: Homecoming will be like until the the first trailer comes out. Still, taking into account how the previous Spider-Man movies with three villains turned out, it’s not unreasonable to be concerned. Who knows, considering how many casting reports have come out for this movie in the last month alone, there could even be a fourth villain added to the mix. It’s already been made clear that Spider-Man: Homecoming will feel different from the previous entries, like through its coming-of-age tone and added humor. Maybe director Jon Watts and writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein have a better handle on juggling multiple antagonists. If Michael Keaton, Logan Marshall-Green and Bokeem Woodbine are indeed playing three established Spidey rogues, let’s hope this latest feature does a better job of adapting and balancing their roles than its predecessors did.
