This one feels very new.

It feels different.

It's grounded.

The trailer felt dangerous.

You felt the personal and heroic danger that Spider-Man is in.

You know that it's going to be a little bit more of a dramatic movie from an action standpoint, being that Savage Hulk and Punisher are in it.

The stakes seem a little bit higher.

He seems to be, even after all of his time of being an Avenger, doing all of this stuff, in a completely unknown position in his life.

He's asking big questions and having to figure out the answers to those questions on his own, which is kind of what the essence of the Spider-Man character is.

This feels like it will be...

sort of street-level Spider-Man with elevated MCU stakes, which is what always people wanted.

The MCU gave us an MCU Spider-Man, you know, with these sort of galactic and world takes.

But this one seems like, to me, just from the tenor and temperature of the trailer, kind of closer to what I envisioned Spider-Man in the MCU being.

Is there anything about the story that you guys can glean from the trailer?

I'm curious about where... Spider-Man versus Hulk movie.

Well, so this is what I would say.

I think that they, there's two things.

One, I do think even with all of the stuff that's in this, this is a stripped down Spider-Man.

And I said that earlier, this is a stripped down Spider-Man.

A lot of beef in terms of other characters in it, which makes sense because I don't know how many of these adventures in this MCU could exist with these characters having these adventures without anybody else being like, why are you destroying that building?
