of a trailer for the upcoming 鈥淪pider-Man鈥 movie 鈥淪pider-Man: Homecoming鈥 has been released, as Sony attempts to bring back the previously extremely successful Spider-Man character back to the big screen.

The quick clip, promoting a longer teaser trailer for 鈥淗omecoming,鈥 shows teen Peter Parker (Tom Holland) chatting with Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), the driver for Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), and diving off a building.聽

The full trailer will be released on ABC鈥檚 鈥淛immy Kimmel Live!鈥 on Dec. 8 and the movie will come to theaters in July 2017.聽

Viewers have already seen Mr. Holland as the webslinger, with the actor having made his debut as the character in this past summer鈥檚 hit movie 鈥淐aptain America: Civil War.鈥

鈥淪pider-Man: Homecoming鈥 will arrive in theaters 15 years after Spidey鈥檚 full-length debut on the big screen. The 2002 movie 鈥淪pider-Man,鈥 which stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, became a hit, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year. The follow-up, 鈥淪pider-Man 2,鈥 was the second-highest-grossing film of 2004 and received especially positive reviews. 鈥淪pider-Man 3鈥 also did well financially, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2007, though it was less well-received by critics.聽

credited the way 鈥淪pider-Man鈥 handles Peter鈥檚 beginnings as Spider-Man and the movie鈥檚 relation to real-life events, among other things, as causing the movie鈥檚 success.

鈥淭he dynamic between Peter/[villain] Norman/[Peter鈥檚 friend and son of Norman] Harry is incredibly well-played, but more importantly 鈥 [Peter鈥檚] origin is handled perfectly,鈥 they write. 鈥淭he movie itself is a fantastic superhero yarn, but it鈥檚 worth noting the timing of this release came less than a year after the 9/11 attacks, cementing its place as something more than just a movie. It gave us a true hero to root for in an increasingly cynical time, and the movie鈥檚 incorporation of the spirit of New York City became one of its defining aspects.鈥澛

also praised the way 鈥淪pider-Man鈥 introduced Peter and how Peter got his powers, writing that the film 鈥渋s a gold standard for how that kind of story should be done 鈥 Sam Raimi鈥檚 film is sure-footed enough to take its time in hitting the major emotional and thematic beats.鈥
