Atlanta Filming has posted several close-up shots of the new and improved web-shooters that Tom Holland's wearing on the Spider-Man: Homecoming set.

Every time there's a new iteration of Spider-Man, fans debate whether or not the web-shooters should be mechanical or organic. You can make a solid case for either one. As we already know from his debut in Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland's Web-Head created mechanical web-shooters and the synthetic webbing they discharge.

Personally, I always liked the idea of blending the mechanical and the organic. I see the benefit of having Peter Parker develop his own mechanical web-shooters, showing off his inventiveness and scientific aptitude; however, since he's infused with spider-like abilities, I also like the idea of him producing the webbing organically.

Though, you could make the case that the synthetic webbing -- aside from showing once again how smart Peter truly is -- makes Spider-Man more vulnerable since he wouldn't have an endless supply of webbing. And that's a good thing. You want your heroes to have limitations. It makes them much more interesting.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios' Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The cast features Tom Holland (In the Heart of the Sea), Michael Keaton (Batman, Birdman), Zendaya (K.C. Undercover), Donald Glover (The Martian, Community), Jacob Batalon (North Woods), Laura Harrier (One Life to Live), Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Tyne Daly (Cagney and Lacey), Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo), with Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny, The Wrestler), and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, The Avengers). It also includes Martin Starr (Silicon Valley), Kenneth Choi (The People vs. O.J. Simpson), Michael Mando (Better Call Saul), Selenis Leyva (Orange is the New Black), Isabella Amara (The Boss), Jorge Lendeborg, Jr. (Graceland), JJ Totah (Liv and Maddie), and Hannibal Buress (30 Rock).

The film is being directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car, Clown), based on a screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley (Vacation reboot) and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.

The film is produced by Marvel boss Kevin Feige and former Sony boss Amy Pascal. Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Jeremy Latcham, and Stan Lee are serving as Executive Producers.

Spider-Man: Homecoming will be released on July 7, 2017.
