Marvel’s friendly neighborhood web-slinger returns to the big screen exactly one year from yesterday (July 7), and Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland marked the occasion with a sky-high photo of himself in costume on the set of the film.

The photo features Holland in his Spidey suit high above the ground as the crew of Homecoming looks on far below him. He also offers up Spider-Man’s signature web-shooting pose with one hand as he celebrates reaching the one-year mark before the film’s arrival in theaters.

Posted on Holland’s Instagram account, the photo is captioned, “1 Year until #spidermanhomecoming hits theaters, are you ready … thought you would like to see a little selfie I took earlier.”

After making his debut as both Peter Parker and his costumed alter ego in this year’s Captain America: Civil War, Holland goes solo in the 2017 film intended to bring the character fully into Marvel’s cinematic universe.

Marisa Tomei, who also appeared in Civil War as Peter’s Aunt May, reprises her role for Homecoming. She’s joined by Michael Keaton as the film’s unidentified villain (rumored to be The Vulture), Logan Marshall-Green as a mysterious, secondary villain, Kenneth Choi as the principal of Peter’s school, and pop musician Zendaya as a character named Michelle. Robert Downey Jr. is also expected to make a cameo as Tony Stark, and actors Donald Glover, Martin Starr, Michael Barbieri, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Hannibal Burress, Michael Mando, and Angourie Rice are also rumored for unidentified roles in the film.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is directed by Cop Car filmmaker Jon Watts from a script by Vacation writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. The movie is currently filming in Atlanta.

Set to debut in both standard and IMAX theaters, Spider-Man: Homecoming is scheduled to premiere July 7, 2017.

Who is the best Spider-Man actor? All the Spider-Men, ranked

Spider-Man is arguably the most popular and beloved superhero in modern pop culture. A staple in movies and television since the 1960s, Spidey is Marvel's crowning jewel, a near-universally adored hero that appeals to children and adults alike. Few superheroes have as much staying power as Spidey, cementing his place as a timeless icon and a staple of modern pop culture.

The web crawler has a rich and long history in movies and television. Since transitioning from the page to the screen in the Silver Age, Spider-Man has starred in countless animated series, received multiple live-action movies, and appeared as a major supporting figure in many other projects. But who, out of all the actors who have played him, is the best Spider-Man? It's not an easy decision - every actor has brought something unique and valuable to the table. However, some are undeniably better than others, and a few have become synonymous with the character. To begin, we will focus only on the character of Peter Parker, as he has the most depictions in movies and television.

20 years ago, Spider-Man swung onto MTV and changed the Marvel superhero forever

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series Sony/MTV / Sony/MTV

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has to be the most freeze-frameable movie of the year. The hit sequel is packed with Easter eggs and left-field references — especially in its second half when the plot is invaded by a whole army of alternate-universe web slingers pulled from back issues and past adaptations alike. But if the roll calls of eagle-eyed fans are to be believed (Google "all the characters in Spider-Verse" for a comprehensive count), there's at least one Spider-Man missing from the film's sprawling game of Where's Waldo? He's the one who swung onto MTV 20 years ago this summer, delivering wisecracks in the voice of Neil Patrick Harris while soaring across a blocky computer-generated Manhattan.

The alternate versions of Spider-Man from "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."

The time has finally arrived. The long-awaited Marvel Comics sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now in theaters, and if early reactions are any indication, the movie is just as awe-inspiring and great as its predecessor. After a five-year absence, Miles Morales, Brooklyn's own web-slinging hero, is back on the big screen, and he brought with him Spider-Gwen, Peter Parker, and an army of new Spider-Men and Spider-Women, including Spider-Man 2099, Jessica Drew, Spider-Byte and Ben Reilly.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse came out in December 2018, so it's been a while since most fans have seen it.
