As one of Marvel Comics' most popular and beloved characters, viewers were hoping to see Spider-Man join the MCU at some point and, after a deal between Sony and Marvel,

After that first adventure alongside the greatest heroes of the MCU, Spider-Man got his first solo film in Spider-Man: Homecoming, which instead of exploring his origin story,
