After the Battle of New York, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) creates the Department of Damage Control to clean up after superhuman battles, inadvertly forcing Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) and his salvage crew out of business. Toomes and his men then decide not to surrender the Chitauri technology they have already scavenged and use it to steal weapons and supply them to criminal enterprises.
Years later, after the Battle of Leipzig, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is eager to join the Avengers, but is told by Stark that he's not yet ready. Peter is then forced to return to his old life as a student of Midtown Science and Technology School alongside his friends Ned (Jacob Batalon) and Michelle (Zendaya), his rival Flash Thompson (Tony Revolori) and his longtime crush Liz Allan (Laura Harrier). They're members of the school's academic declathon team, but Peter has recently quit to focus on his "internship" at Stark Industries, a cover for his crimefighting activities.
Spider-Man confronts a group of criminals using Chitauri weapons to rob an ATM, but they escape. Ned accidentally finds out his secret identity and mentions at school that Peter knows Spider-Man from Stark Industries. Flash challenges Peter to prove it by bringing Spider-Man to Liz's party later that night. While preparing to do so, Peter spots an explosion and leaves the party to investigate. He finds Toomes' associates Herman Shultz (Booken Woodbine) and Jackson Brice (Logan Marshall-Green) selling weapons to gangster Aaron Davis and intervenes, but Shultz and Brice escape while Peter is nearly killed by Toomes in an flying exosuit and later rescued by Stark, who urges Peter to forget about the Vulture and focus on his studies.
Peter is determined to stop the Vulture and retrieves a Chitauri weapon that Brice had left behind, removing its power core. A tracking device leads Shultz and Brice to Midtown, but Peter and Ned evade them and Peter plants a spider-tracer on Shultz that leads back to Virginia. Peter then rejoins the declathon team and accompanies them to Nationals in Washington, D.C., to follow his lead on Shultz. Peter and Ned disable Peter's suit's tracker and unlock its secret features, including an A.I. interface. Spider-Man then locates Toomes, Shultz and their tinkerer, Phineas Mason (Michael Chernus), intercepting a DDC truck to steal more weapons. Spider-Man confronts the Vulture, but is overpowered and trapped in the truck, missing Nationals and disappointing his friends.
Peter finds out that the Chitauri power core left with Ned is unstable and that his friends are in danger. He manages to escape from DDC's headquarters but is too late to prevent the core from exploding while the team is visiting the Washington Monument, leaving them trapped in a collapsing elevator. Spider-Man manages to climb to the top while evading the police and catch the elevator before it plummets, saving his classmates and proving himself as a hero.

That sounds about right.
Sounds fun.

>Everything must be attached to the Avengers
Christ, I hate this. Why can't Vulture just be an overlook genius? Why can't he love being a villain because it allows him to feel relevant to the world around him to compensate for his age? Why can't Schultz be a schmuck who is smarter than he's given credit for?
Why the fuck does everyone need to be connected to the Chitauri and space tech? Tony didn't need space tech, so why the fuck does everyone else?

>Why the fuck does everyone need to be connected to the Chitauri and space tech?
Because that's the benefit of a connected universe.
In a world where this shit wasn't available to the general public it makes sense that people would start dabbling in super science from shit that got leftover from an alien invasion.
>Aaron Davis
Miles confirmed?
