8 Things We Learned From The Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer

After months of waiting, last night we finally got our first look at the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thankfully, it seems to have carried on the good work of Captain America: Civil War and served up a faithful, yet fresh, take on the familiar hero.

2) Shocker!

It has also leaked that two other villains will feature in the movie – namely Shocker and the Tinkerer (as played by Michael Chernus). As can be guessed from the name, Tinkerer is a villainous inventor and, though he’s not seen in the trailer, his handiwork appears all over it. The thieves dressed in Avengers masks at the beginning look to have the same kind of highly specialized tech that Vulture does, which suggests they got their gear from the same source.

Shocker, on the other hand, does appear in the trailer – or at least the international version. At about the 0:50 time stamp, you can briefly see Bookheem Woodbine attack Peter amongst some high school buses. He’s wearing some sort of arm apparatus that lights up and we would guess packs a nasty punch, if the subsequent shots of Peter being thrown against a bus are anything to go by. He’s also wearing some yellow sleeves with a chequered pattern – exactly matching those worn by Shocker in the comics.

Intriguingly, the same device and sleeves are also briefly seen in the original trailer, as worn by an unknown individual who’s flanked by Donald Glover. Who is this guy and who exactly Glover is playing? Your guess is as good as ours.
