"Spider-Man: Homecoming" actor Tom Holland dishes on the leaked footage of Peter Parker released during the Comic-Con. On the other hand, director Jon Watts teased that the full capabilities of Spider-Man's Iron suit as shown in "Captain America: Civil War" has not been shown.

"Well the suit that Spidey was given in Civil War is a Stark suit, so you have to wonder, with a Stark suit, what else can it do?," Watts said.

Holland confirms that part of the film will take place when his character is in high school, Comic Book News reported. The released footage shows Parker aka "Spider-Man" secretly making web fluid in class.

Shedding light on the topic, "It's like this. What we really want to try and (show) is grabbing the web," Holland said. "We've never seen anyone... It's always just like 'it sticks to him, so now we have to grab [the web].' So that's our big thing of the moment."

Holland also mentioned that there will be some "heavy hitters" who will be part of the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" ensemble. It has been confirmed that one of these "heavy hitters" is Michael Keaton who will be playing the role of villain Vulture in the film.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" will be the latest reiteration of the "Spider-Man" franchise on film. This time however, the character will be part of a much larger franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Holland said that a different side of student-turned-vigilante Peter Parker will be revealed and the film will focus on the technology involved in becoming "Spider-Man," Collider reported.

"This is a very different side to Spider-Man. Because you're going to see a kid dealing with everyday problems that a 15 year old deals with, as well as trying to save the city. He's conflicted because of what it is he's trying to do and what it is that's going on with the whole Avengers. In the universe. Because, obviously, after Civil War we still don't really know what's happening. And he's in the middle of that world. So that's very exciting to explore that. Also just to see a kid in high school figure out what to do with his super powers is really fun," Holland said.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is set to premiere on July 7, 2017.
