Okay, before we get into the Spider-Man: Homecoming movie trivia, let’s talk reboots and sequels. There have been quite a few Spidey movies over the years, but they’re not all related to each other. Remember that trilogy that started back in 2002 with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst? Okay, good, now forget it. It has nothing to do with Homecoming. Okay, now remember the two Amazing Spider-Man movies that came out in 2012 and 2014 starring Andrew Garfield? You know how they were reboots of the Maguire trilogy?  Forget those, too. Spider-man: Homecoming has a whole new cast, crew and concept. In fact, I’d say it’s more a sequel to Captain America: Civil War  than anything else. Sequel may not be a good word. It’s more of a continuation of the Marvel world.

So, now that we’ve got all that cleared up (I think, honestly, I’m a little confused, too), let’s talk trivia!

1- The movie’s director is Jon Watts and while this is not his first directing gig, it is his first time directing a superhero movie. Watts also directed the 2014 supernatural horror movie Clown and the 2015 road thriller film Cop Car.

3-Homecoming is also the 16^th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the 1^st movie being Iron Man in 2008 and the most recent being Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, released in theaters on May 5, 2017. In addition, there also 8 more movies, set in the Universe, currently in production.
