Spider-Man: Homecoming wasn't what every fan of the wall-crawler wanted but it did a great job of reimagining the character for a modern audience and was vastly better than Sony's last three efforts. Earlier this week, we learned that Jake Gyllenhaal is in talks to take on the role of Mysterio, our first real piece of solid intel about the sequel besides the fact that Spidey will be touring the globe.
Now, an apparent plot leak for the follow-up has hit Reddit and, well, it makes for interesting reading. As per usual, it's best to take this intel with a huge pinch of salt because there's a very good chance that this is bogus. However, I don't think I'll ever forget watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens and realising about halfway through that it was playing out exactly like a leak I'd read on the site six months beforehand and quickly dismissed as being complete and utter nonsense. So, you never know!

It May Not Take Place After Avengers 4
Fans have been wondering how Marvel is going to promote the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel when Peter Parker was one of Avengers: Infinity War's biggest casualties but Amy Pascal has previously said that the movie takes place literally minutes after Avengers 4 wraps up. Well, according to this leak, it's actually going to be set before the events of Infinity War...which makes sense thinking about it!
Apparently, the sequel is going to end with the wall-crawler heading off on the field trip he ditches to go and help Iron Man save the word. While this could prove to be somewhat confusing, there's a chance the after-credits scene could touch on his return to set the stage for the part three.
