The friendly neighborhood super hero grew up quickly at the end of the Infinity Saga, though, after watching Stark sacrifice himself to save the Marvel Universe from Thanos (Josh Brolin) in Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Now, Holland returns for this third solo outing — a follow-up to Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) — and the actor has spoken out about how Marvel fans should expect a very different Spidey than they’ve seen in the Avengers franchise so far.
“What people will be really surprised about is that it’s not fun, this film. It’s dark and it’s sad, and it’s going to be really affecting. You’re going to see characters that you love go through things that you would never wish for them to go through. And I was just really excited to kind of lean into that side of Peter Parker.”
There are also numerous reports that Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock/Daredevil will make his MCU debut in the upcoming movie. Disney finally obtained the rights to Netflix’s Daredevil characters in 2020, leading fans to believe it’s only a matter of time until we see the Hell’s Kitchen attorney in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
