Marvel is on a quest for cinematic domination. After scoring hits with Captain America, the Avengers, and Iron Man, and garnering a ton of anticipation for its upcoming film Black Panther film, the iconic brand once again has folks talking after dropping the second trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The film, which reboots the story of Peter Parker and focuses on the hero as a teen, has an eclectic and diverse cast featuring Zendaya, Donald Glover, and Bokeem Woodbine to name a few. And, Peter gets a little advice and mentorship from the one and only Iron Man.
Peep the exciting trailer.
Once the Spider-Man visuals hit the web, fans–of course–went crazy.

Felt like there was a *little* more plot in the #SpiderManHomecoming trailer than was needed, but IDAF. I'm here for it.

It wasn’t all praise, though. Many wondered why Zendaya didn’t figure prominently into the trailer after being featured in previous promotional materials.
Where was Zendaya? #SpiderManHomecoming

…I was hoping to see more of Zendaya in this new #SpiderManHomecoming trailer. They have two WoC leads – showcase them!

Apparently, the folks over at Marvel may be trying to keep Zendaya’s character under wraps until the film drops this summer. So, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see who she’ll play–Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy or someone else?–when the film swings into theaters July 7th.
Are you feeling the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer?
