Empire | Summer 2017
SPIDERMAN HOMECOMING
Spider-Man owning Sony Pictures agreed in early 2015 to give the Disney-owned Marvel Studios creative control of one of its most lucrative properties. The friendly neighbourhood crime fighter previously played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfifield would be relocated to the wider cinematic world of the Avengers. For Feige, it has long been the classic ‘what if?’ Marvel dream. Now, with the agreement of Sony’s then-head Amy Pascal, he was going to introduce an all-new Spider-Man in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, before giving him a stand-alone adventure. The big challenge was to make it feel fresh for audiences; not only is this the sixth Spidey film in fifteen years (and the second reboot, too), but also the sixteenth Marvel movie since 2008. To help achieve this, Feige cast twenty year-old British actor Tom Holland, whose Civil War cameo thankfully sent audiences wild.
