Movies that feel likeSpider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker, with the help of his mentor Tony Stark, tries to balance his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens, New York City, with fighting crime as his superhero alter ego Spider-Man as a new threat, the Vulture, emerges.

If you loved Spider-Man: Homecoming, the closest films we have are Black Panther (2018), Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Thunderbolts* (2025). All three share Spider-Man: Homecoming's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Superman (2025).
