Homecoming
Film · 2017 · 133 minutes · Phase Three
Still buzzing from his recruitment into the Avengers' airport battle, teenage Peter Parker tries to balance high school life in Queens with his secret career as Spider-Man, eager to prove himself worthy of Tony Stark's mentorship and a full-time Avengers role. When the black-market arms dealer Adrian Toomes, aka the Vulture, begins selling weapons built from salvaged alien and Stark tech, Peter takes on a threat far bigger than the street-level crime he's used to. Along the way he grapples with the temptation of the advanced Stark-built suit, a strained friendship with Ned, and a shocking discovery about the girl he's falling for.
