PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Tom Holland and Jon Watts, actor and director of the film Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Director Jon Watts and actor Tom Holland have traveled around the world to introduce Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe dedicated to the teenager superhero. In Rome, Tom Holland reveals how he wanted his Spider-Man to be a real teenager, enthusiastic about his superpowers but at the same time having to face adolescence and its big and complicated issues. Spiderman is an entry level superhero and so is the villain he has to fight against: The Vulture played by Michael Keaton. After Batman and Birdman, the actor portrays a working class villain who thinks capitalism has ruined the world. In the Marvel cinematic universe where everything takes place, capitalism is represented by Tony Stark/Iron Man aka Robert Downey Jr. Tom Holland shares a lot of anecdotes with the audience, from his “unusual” way of finding out he got the part to the first time he wore the Spiderman costume and his weird first encounter with Robert Downey Jr.

Spider-Man: Homecoming: young Peter Parker/Spiderman (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
