Here's a preview of the new one. But to me, Spidey is just like this. That's the essence of Spidey's

0:11.0

just like this doofy wiseass teenager with a homemade suit who protects his neighborhood. I like that.

0:16.0

And a lot of it will don't like that about a Marvel thing, but it's kind of fortunate that they got

0:20.4

the rights to Spidey put him in the MCU and he kind of has to be integrated that way, doesn't he?

0:25.3

Well, and I think the truth is not to interrupt here, but I think the real key here is that
