6 Things You Need Know Before Seeing 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Here are six key things you should know about the new movie before heading to the theater.

He'll have a little help in the form of best friend/LEGO fanatic Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon), who will discover Peter's secret at some point in the film. "Homecoming" will also introduce a new love interest for Peter in the form of fellow geek and introvert Michelle (Zendaya).

Don't be surprised if other Avengers mainstays also make cameo appearances here. At the very least, there will surely be a new cameo for the ever-present Stan Lee.

Vulture will be joined by at least two other Marvel villains -- Shocker (Bokeem Woodbine) and the Tinkerer (Michael Chernus).

That's to say nothing of Sony's ambitious plans for the expanded Spider-Man franchise. The studio is developing several spinoff movies, including "Venom" (starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock) and another film featuring the characters Black Cat and Silver Sable. There have been conflicting reports as to whether these films will actually be connected to the MCU, but here's hoping Holland's Spider-Man keeps plenty busy in the years to come.
