You'd almost forget that Spider-Man wasn't the hero of Captain America: Civil War, given all the fuss people have made about him. He's the breakout star of the movie and according to the reviews, rightly so. 

All that love doesn't mean the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming movie is a sure fire winner though. Previous films have been a roller coaster of quality highs and lows so, with that in mind, we've prepared this handy list of things the film has to get right. 

From Peter Parker's character, to supporting cast, plot and more, we've looked back at previous films to pinpoint what they got right and where they went wrong. As long as the new movie hits these points? Everything will be alright for old Web-Head.

Directed by Jon Watts and starring Tom Holland, Spider-Man: Homecoming will hit cinemas in 2017.
