The Marvel Universe just keeps growing and, now that everybody's favourite web slinger is back home, my excitement just keeps building for the future. Now, after Marvel stupidly registered a URL a few weeks ago which seemed to reveal it's name, the title of the 2017 MCU Spider-Man movie has now been confirmed as "Spider-Man: Homecoming." Check out the official logo!
For me, that logo is amazing. I know some people have shown some distaste for it, but I love how it reflects the old cartoon series with it's comic-book style lettering. The small touch of the spider logo taking over the "O" in Homecoming is a nice touch too. That's not even mentioning how great it is to see the official Marvel logo sitting above a Spider-Man title for the first time rather than Sony! We've known for a while that this would be set in the Marvel Universe, but that doesn't make it any less great to see everything coming together. The colouring of the logo may also be quite important. If you take a look at the logos of the Sam Raimi and Marc Webb Spider-Man flicks, they are completely grey and silver. It might just be me looking too deep into it, but I think that the addition of more colour and character may be a suggestion of more humour and fun being added to this movie, making it potentially much closer to the comics than any of the other movies.
The title itself, however, is just fine. It's not horrible, it's not spectacular, just fine. Of course, it doesn't give any real indication of the plot. It likely refers to Spider-Man returning to his job as a hero after the events that take place in Civil War, but with the addition of more heroes, as has been confirmed by Marvel. It certainly won't be based on the comic book of the same name, because it took place when Spidey returned to Earth after an event called "Secret Wars," and he came back with the black symbiotic which would eventually become fan favourite Venom. For any fans reading this hoping for Venom, don't get your hopes up because Sony are reportedly still making a Venom movie which will not be part of the MCU. The only villain that is even rumoured at this point is Vulture, who may just be the opening fight for Spidey.
There is undoubtedly plenty to look forward to when it comes to Spider-Man in the MCU, including this movie. I love the logo and hope that it does indicate more fun for this character, but the title does not excite me. It doesn't give any indication of villains, plot or what to expect. I'm sure it will be something to be excited about when it is revealed, but right now, I'm more excited for the hero to make his appearance in Civil War.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is releasing on July 7th, 2017.
It currently stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Marisa Tomei as Aunt May with more cast members to be added in the future
