Spider-Mondays at Gateway Film Center
As part of Columbia Pictures 100th Anniversary, we are bringing all of the live action Spider-Man movies back to the Film Center on Mondays April 15 to June 3, 2024.
About the film:
After making his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Tom Holland returns as the young Peter Parker/Spider-Man in director Jon Watt’s first Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
“Watts nails the timeless cornerstones of adolescence: the crippling anxiety mixed with brash confidence, the life-or-death dimensions of a crush, the impatience to grow up.”
—Angie Han, Mashable
Peter begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May, under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark. Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
