While the role was previously played on film by both Tobeym aguire and Andrew garfield, Holland says his version of the character is “completely different,” especially this is the first film to portray Peter as a kid, not a young adult. Robert downey Jr. returns as iron man, this time as a mentor to Peter Parker.

He won the gig for directing “Spider-Man: Homecoming” after the producers saw a screening of his well-reviewed police dramedy “Cop Car” (2015).
