So, you've been wondering, "How old is Spiderman in Homecoming?" Well, grab a coffee, 'cause we're about to dive into the web-slinging world of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Peter Parker's Age in the MCU
Alright, so in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter Parker, is played by the ever-charming Tom Holland. Now, Tom was born on June 1, 1996, making him a sprightly 25 years old as of 2021. But remember, we're talking about the character here, not the actor.
In the MCU timeline, Spider-Man: Homecoming is set after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Peter's been bit by that radioactive spider and has been swinging around New York for about a year. So, when we meet him in Homecoming, he's a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed 15-year-old.
