About the film: storyline

This will be the first Spider-Man film where the special effects for the character are not being produced by another company affiliated with Sony, the rights holder to Spider-Man. Industrial Light & Magic, which handles much of the special effects for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film series, will be producing the special effects.

The films release date was originally meant for Thor: Ragnarok (2017), which was then moved to the November 3, 2017 release slot for Black Panther (2018), this move would ultimately change the release dates for several other Marvel films.

The film was originally scheduled to be released on June 10, 2016, but Sony announced in summer 2014 that they had pushed the movie back to 2017 in order to release the Sinister Six movie, which was scheduled to premiere on November 11, 2016. On February 10, 2015, it was then cancelled for a new Spider-Man franchise, co-produced by Marvel and the Amazing Spider-Man sequels being dropped but its spin offs still in works.

While speaking with the Daily Beast, Tom Holland says that the new Spider-Man Reboot will be the "biggest independent film ever". He said: "One of the special things about what we're going to try and create is that you're going to see the biggest independent film ever. It's not going to be an epic thing; it's going to be a film surrounded by these incredible things, but that follows this boy and his life. Peter Parker is a favorite of many because everyone can relate to him, and we're going to try to make everyone relate to our Peter Parker. And John Hughes is a perfect example of what we're going to try and do."

Kevin Feige has stated that this film will not be a third retelling of Spider-Man's origin. Feige also stated that Spidey's new threads will be based off of the classic version of the costume (think 1966's Spider-Man drawn by John Romita Sr).
