“It really is a homecoming,” says Tom Holland, our latest leading man to dawn the mantle, “because, throughout the movie, Peter is trying to find out who he is and where he belongs in this world.”

Also starring in Spider-Man: Homecoming; Marisa Tomei as Aunt May and Zendaya as a character by the name of Michelle, with Laura Harrier (One Life to Live) and Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel) set to play two of Peter’s other friends. Michael Keaton is reportedly in talks to play the film’s villain (or, at least, one of the film’s villains).

Homecoming is scripted by Vacation writers/directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley and will be helmed by Jon Watts in direction duties. Production is set to begin on the film this summer in Atlanta with the film swinging into theaters and IMAX on July 7, 2017.

This bit of news comes with word from Borys Kit of the Hollywood Reporter, who earlier today on Twitter stated;

An interesting bit of news indeed for this third take on the Spider-Man franchise, if the rumor is to be believed. Though primarily a musician, Zendaya isn’t exactly green in the world of acting. Her television credits include K.C. Undercover, Zapped and a guest role on the Anthony Anderson-led comedy-drama Black-ish.

Holland will make his debut as the web-head himself in Captain America: Civil War, where he will join Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Steve Rogers/Captain America, along with a host of other MCU characters when the film is released on May 6, 2016. After which, Holland will go about spinning his own webs in his solo film with (thus far) Zendaya and Marisa Tomei, who will be playing Aunt May.

A co-production between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, Spider-Man is slated for release in theaters and IMAX on July 7, 2017.

“Wait a sec” you might be asking, “A Venom movie with no Spider-Man?” Trust me, you don’t stand alone in your confusion (possible vexation).

Venom first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #254 in 1984. An inky black symbiotic suit of alien origin, Venom was originally worn by Peter Parker. It would be several years before Parker would discard the alien suit, thereafter finding its ‘proper’ mate in rival photographer Eddie Brock. Brock would go on to name their union of mutual hatred for the wall-crawler as Venom. The black alien suit would go on to have numerous iterations and be worn by a host of characters in the Marvel Universe.

Venom has appeared on the big screen before. Sam Raimi’s (abysmal in this writer’s opinion) Spider-Man 3 saw the alien suit worn by actor Topher Grace. Since that debacle, word has sparked time and again about the possible resurgence of Spider-Man’s long time rival/sometimes ally in a solo misadventure, with the previous attempts ultimately failing to materialize. It appears that Sony is attempting to once again bring the black suit to the big screen.

Eric Fineman and Palak Patel are currently overseeing the Venom project over at Sony.
