SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Director Explains Why The Webhead Won't Have His Spidey-Sense In The Movie
At this point, fans had pretty much figured that Peter Parker wouldn't be utilising his classic Spidey-Sense in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and in a new interview director Jon Watts explains why that is...
When we saw Spider-Man going up against a contingent of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Captain America: Civil War something seemed to be missing, as several characters were able to get the drop on The Webhead without his Spidey-Sense tingling and alerting him to the imminent danger.
Some figured this would be addressed in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but it turns out this MCU incarnation of the iconic Marvel hero simply doesn't have that ability... at least, not yet.
While being interviewed by CinemaBlend, director Jon Watts explained why the Spider-Sense was ditched:
I feel like we have seen a lot of Spider Sense in the previous films, so we didn't really lean into that as hard as they have in the previous films. But I do think it is a really interesting thing to explore.
Though this is sure to annoy some purists, having seen the movie I can tell you that this doesn't really make a whole lot of difference - but that's not to say I didn't miss it. Perhaps that on top of all of Stark's suit-upgrades would have seemed like overkill?
What do you guys make of this? Sound off below, and be sure to check out Spider-Man: Homecoming when it swings into theaters later this week.
