Spider-Man Homecoming trailer sees Peter Parker team up with Iron Man and face Vulture

Just when you thought the world didn’t need another Spider-Man reboot, the new trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming is here to prove you wrong.

The legendary web-slinging superhero is making his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his debut in Captain America: Civil War last year.

While he managed to stand out in that epic super-hero brawl, this time he’s taking centre stage in a film that takes Peter Parker right back to his high school years.

After striking up a friendship with Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, in Civil War, Parker is teaming up with Marvel's figurehead hero once again to prove his mettle in Homecoming.

The new clip for the film shows Stark giving Spidey his latest hi-tech suit – but when the teen hero comes under a devastating attack from the villainous Vulture, it’s up to Parker to prove he’s ready to be an Avenger after all.

Michael Keaton is portraying the classic comic book baddie in his second super-powered bird-based character after his Golden Globe-winning turn in Birdman.

Almost stealing the show in the trailer is Parker’s best friend Ned, who learns early on that his buddy is “the Spider-Man – from YouTube!”, and even gets to try the suit on.

There also seems to be some epic action, with a major set-piece on a ship being torn apart, and Vulture flinging Spidey into a plane engine. Ouch.

Best of all, the title character’s return to Marvel Studios (in conjunction with Sony) means that the tone of the hero’s flippant quips is bang-on.

While we’ve had plenty of underwhelming Spider-Man movies in recent years, Homecoming looks like it could be an extremely fitting title after all.

Spider-Man: Homecoming arrives in UK cinemas on July 7
