The quick take

A teenager with big ambitions tries to prove he is ready for more than neighborhood problems. A school-movie spin on the hero formula.

The bigger picture

A fifteen-year-old tries to prove himself while juggling school life and a mentor who thinks he should keep a low profile. It stays at street level, with a local threat instead of a world-ending one.

Captain America: Civil War

Public pressure forces the team to choose between oversight and independence, and friendships break over it. Effectively an Avengers film in all but name.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

A school trip turns into a mess when the hero is pulled into a global problem. A lighter epilogue to the Infinity Saga.

Phase 3 · 2018

Avengers: Infinity War

Every storyline converges as a single threat moves across the universe. A large, bold film with a famously bleak ending.
