In July 2016, Holland spoke to Collider.com and explained how Homecoming will show a different side of Spider-Man: “You’re going to see a kid dealing with everyday problems that a 15-year-old deals with as well as trying to save the city. He’s conflicted because of what it is he’s trying to do and what it is that’s going on with the Avengers in the universe.” Holland added that it will be exciting for him [Peter Parker] to explore what happens after he’s landed in the middle of that world “and also just to see a kid in high school figure out what to do with his super powers is really fun.” The 20-year-old English actor and dancer is signed on for three films, Homecoming as the first.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige told Variety.com that Spider-Man: Homecoming will be unique to the previous adaptations because of the team-up with Sony. “In the previous films, Spider-Man was the only superhero who existed in that world. In the comic books, Spider-Man always existed in a world where the Avengers existed, and Iron Man existed, and the Hulk would run through the streets, and Captain America had been thawed out of the ice. In the film, he’s a young kid who has to be home at curfew so his Aunt May doesn’t get worried, and go to school, and do his homework. That’s in contrast to Tony Stark’s life or Stephen Strange’s.” It will be fascinating to see how Homecoming explores a world where Peter is a hero amongst heroes, while juggling the responsibilities of his average teenage life.
