After a well-received debut in Captain America: Civil War earlier in 2016, Tom Holland's Spider-Man is suiting up for his solo blockbuster.

Holland stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday night to unveil the first official trailer for Sony's Spider-Man: Homecoming. Watch below:

Homecoming marks a collaboration between Sony and the Disney-owned Marvel Studios to reinvent Spider-Man following the poor critical reaction to 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, starring Andrew Garfield.

Continuing the story set up in Civil War, Holland's Peter Parker is mentored by Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark/Iron Man to control his superpowers and stay out of trouble. But it wouldn't be a Marvel movie without a looming sense of danger, and that comes in the form of Oscar-winner Michael Keaton as villain The Vulture. ( Homecoming is in a way a homecoming to superhero fare for Keaton, who played Batman for director Tim Burton and satirized the genre in Birdman.)

Keaton's Vulture warns Spider-Man "don't mess with me, I will kill you and everybody you love" in a convincingly menacing tone that already makes him a more compelling villain than Mads Mikkelsen's Kaecilius in Doctor Strange.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is released on July 7.
