What Movie To Watch After Spider Man Homecoming

So, you've just swung through the neighborhood with Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The thrill of high school drama mixed with superheroics is still buzzing! What's next to keep that feeling going?

Option 1: More High School Hijinks (With a Twist!)

For the Lighthearted Superhero Fan: 'Sky High' (2005)

Ever wonder where superheroes' kids go to school? Sky High answers that question with a school in the clouds for superpowered teens. It's like Homecoming, but everyone has powers and the cafeteria food probably has less spider-web potential.

Think quirky teachers (played by superhero icons like Kurt Russell!), awkward first crushes, and villains lurking in the shadows. It's a charming and funny take on the superhero genre that doesn't take itself too seriously.

"Saving the world is hard work. Especially when you're trying to get a date to the homecoming dance."

For the Slightly Darker Teen Hero: 'Kick-Ass' (2010)

Okay, let's crank up the dial. Kick-Ass is still about a high school kid deciding to become a superhero. However, Dave Lizewski, the main character, has no superpowers, only a deep desire to do something meaningful.

The film embraces dark humor and some truly shocking moments. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. Yet, it's a grounded, if hyper-violent, look at what it might really be like to be a superhero without superpowers, and explores the power of ordinary people.

Option 2: More Mentor Moments

For the Aspiring Inventor: 'Big Hero 6' (2014)

Love the Tony Stark/Peter Parker relationship? Big Hero 6 offers a similar mentor dynamic with a heartwarming twist. Meet Hiro Hamada, a robotics prodigy who forms a superhero team with his inflatable robot companion, Baymax.

Prepare for adorable moments, dazzling action sequences, and a story about grief, friendship, and using your talents for good. Baymax is like a fluffy, huggable Iron Man suit with a built-in medical database.

For the 'Stark Industries' Obsessed: 'Iron Man' (2008)

Let's go back to where it all began for the MCU. If you loved Tony Stark in Homecoming, then a revisit to his origin story is essential. Iron Man isn’t only about fancy suits and gadgets, it's about facing one’s own demons and becoming a better person.

Witness the birth of a legend, experience thrilling action, and bask in the snarky genius of Robert Downey Jr. as he changed the superhero movie landscape forever.

Option 3: More 'Friendly Neighborhood' Vibes

For the Classic Superhero Adventure: 'The Incredibles' (2004)

Want a film that embodies the spirit of a superhero family? The Incredibles combines action, humor, and heartwarming family dynamics into a superhero package. It captures the classic superhero feel and is a perfect choice.

Dealing with secret identities, balancing family life with saving the world, and battling supervillains? This family does it all with style. And that Edna Mode? Legendary.

For the Quirky Small-Town Hero: 'Mystery Men' (1999)

Forget about world-saving events, what about local heroes? Mystery Men is a hilarious and charming parody of superhero tropes, featuring a team of inept but lovable heroes trying to save their city. They are filled with bizarre powers.

Get ready for unexpected laughs, eccentric characters, and a reminder that even the most ordinary people can make a difference. This movie is all about embracing the underdog, even if that underdog’s power is "invisibility, but only when nobody’s looking."

So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready for another adventure. There's a whole universe of superhero (and superhero-adjacent) films out there waiting to be explored!
