The Spider-Sense Does Exist In The MCU Says Kevin Feige

Spider-Man may be known as a high-flying vigilante, but there’s more to the superhero than webbing. The Marvel icon has a whole slew of powers, and his intuitive Spider-Sense ranks high on that list. So, fans really shouldn’t be surprised to hear the power does exist in the MCU.

Over the last week or so, reports about Spider-Man‘s sixth sense have flooded the Internet. The director of Spider-Man: Homecoming said the Spider-Sense was not explored in his MCU outing, but the president of Marvel Studios is now saying the power is still very real. In a recent chat with IGN, Kevin Feige confirmed Peter Parker gets the tingly warning even if it isn’t a focus in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

“I think he has it. And I think he has it with or without that suit. I think how we explore it in a cinematic sense will change,” Feige said.

“I mean, that was sort of a big showy part of previous versions and we thought that we’d make it more of an internal, sort of second nature thing for him,” the producer continued. “But there are ways coming up that will slowly hint at that and also just make it part of his, you know, his natural abilities. I think we’ll explore it further down the line.”

Earlier this month, Jon Watts sent fans into a Spider-Sense tizzy when he told CinemaBlend the power had been glossed over for moviegoers. “I feel like we have seen a lot of Spider-Sense in the previous films, so we didn’t really lean into that as hard as they have in the previous films,” he said. “I do think it is a really interesting thing to explore.”

If you are not familiar with the hero’s Spider-Sense, then you should know the tingling feeling is one of Spider-Man’s greatest assets. The Spider-Sense is a sixth sense that alerts Peter to danger. The premonition does not give Spider-Man a clear hunch as to where the danger is coming from, but it gives Spider-Man a heads up to react before he can get swatted. Clearly, a power like this would have helped Spider-Man anticipate Ant-Man’s surprise attack on him during Captain America: Civil War, but hey – the kid still has some training to do.
