While Spider-Man: Homecoming won't be audience's first exposure to the web-slinger, but it will be the foundation upon which future films are based.

Homecoming seems to be a true return to a high school based Peter Paker and if the studio goes with its original plan, the following sequels will adhere to a timeline that coincides with Peter's trek through school.

Collider recently spoke to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige at San Diego Comic-Con, where he touched on their vision for the film and future sequels.

"Should we be able to make more after that? Sure. This is sophomore year, is the next one junior year? Is the next one senior year? Is there a summer break between each of those? I don't know what, but it was sort of how do we do a journey for Peter not dissimilar for what the students of Hogwarts would go through each of their years, which was one of the early ideas we had for the movies."

Before Homecoming could happen, however, they had to get the character right and establish him quickly, which they chose to do in Captain America: Civil War. Feige acknowledged that process as well.

"The first step was reintroduce a new Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Civil War and have people leave the theater saying, 'I love that Spider-Man. I wanna see more of him.' I think that's happened. The next step is making a great Spider-Man: Homecoming and a great film that showcases Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and makes everybody fall in love with him all over again."

Spider-Man: Homecoming releases into theatres on July 7th, 2017.
