After the Battle of New York in 2012, [a] Adrian Toomes and his salvage company are contracted to clean up the city, but their operation is taken over by the Department of Damage Control (DODC), a partnership between Tony Stark and the United States. Angry at being forced out of business by the government, Toomes convinces his employees to keep the Chitauri technology they’ve already scavenged and use it to build and sell advanced weapons, including a flying vulture suit that Toomes uses to steal Chitauri power cells.
Eight years later, [b] Peter Parker is drafted into the Avengers by Stark to help with an internal conflict in Germany, [c] but resumes his studies at the Midtown School of Science and Technology when Stark tells him he is not yet ready.

His best friend, Ned, eventually discovers his secret identity.
Parker Toomes associates Jackson Brice/Shocker and Herman Schultz are selling weapons to local criminal Aaron Davis. Parker saves Davis before he is captured by Tomes in the Vulture suit and thrown into a lake, nearly drowning after getting caught in a parachute built into his suit. He is rescued by Stark, who is observing the Spider-Man suit given to Parker and warns him against further involvement with criminals. Toomes accidentally kills Bryce with one of their weapons and Schultz becomes the new Shocker.
Parker and Ned study a weapon left behind by Bryce, removing its power core. When Schultz’s tracking device leads to Maryland, Parker rejoins the decathlon team and accompanies them to Washington, D.C. for their national tournament. Ned and Parker disable the tracker on the Spider-Man suit and unlock Stark’s advanced features. Parker tries to stop Toomes from stealing weapons from a DODC truck but is trapped inside, causing him to miss the decathlon tournament. When he discovers that the power core is an unstable Chitauri grenade, he runs to the Washington Monument, where the core activates and explodes, trapping Ned and their friends in an elevator. Parker saves them with a crush on his classmates and Liz. Days later, in New York City, aboard the Staten Island Ferry, Parker captures Tooms’ new buyer, Mack Gargan, but Tooms escapes and a malfunctioning weapon rips the ferry in half. Stark helps Parker save the passengers, but confiscates his suit as punishment for his recklessness.
Parker returns to her high school life and asks Liz to go to the homecoming dance with her. On the night of the dance, she discovers that Toomes is Liz’s father. Toomes threatens Parker by revealing his secret identity. Parker realizes that Toomes is planning to hijack a DODC plane transporting weapons from Avengers Tower to the team’s new headquarters in upstate New York. He gives up dancing and puts on his old homemade Spider-Man suit. Although Schultz ambushes him outside, he defeats him with Ned’s help. He runs to Toomes’ lair, where Toomes attacks Parker, destroying the building’s support columns, and leaving Parker to die, trapped in the rubble of the collapsed building. Parker escapes and intercepts the plane, steering it to crash on the beach at Coney Island. He and Toomes continue to fight, ending with Parker saving Toomes’ life after the damaged Vulture suit explodes. Parker leaves Toomes for the police with the plane’s cargo. After her father’s arrest, Liz leaves. Parker declines Stark’s invitation to join the Avengers full-time, and Stark offers Pepper Potts. Stark also returns the Spider-Man suit to Parker, who wears it when his Aunt May enters.

A rescuer-turned-arms-trafficker forced his company out of business. He uses a suit with mechanical wings forged from Chitauri technology. Toomes is revealed to be the love interest of Liz’s father, Parker. Director Jon Watts wanted him to be a “regular guy”, compared to other MCU villains like Thanos and Ultron, compared to John C. from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). Reilly’s Nova Corpsman was close to Roman Day, a “regular” kid who became a superhero to go along with Spider-Man”. This helped Toomes avoid attracting the attention of the Avengers and provided someone Parker was able to defeat while learning to use his powers. Keaton said that Tomes isn’t a complete villain, because “there are parts of him that you go, ‘You know what? I can see his point.'” Co-producer Eric Hausman compared Carol Toomes to a “dark Tony Stark”. A “businessman with a family. He wants to look after his kids… he doesn’t have grand delusions where he wants to take over the world, or replace the government, or even defeat the Avengers. or whatever.

The character is not a direct adaptation of Mary Jane Watson, but was given the initials “MJ” to “remind you of that dynamic” to compare to Watson, but makes her “completely different”. Feige added that Michelle is “not obsessed” with Parker as Watson sometimes is in the comics, “she’s just observant”. Her full name, Michelle Jones-Watson, was revealed in the sequel Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
Donald Glover as Aaron Davis:
A criminal looking to purchase weapons from Toomes. Davis is the uncle of Miles Morales, an heir to the Spider-Man mantle, in the comics. Glover voiced Morales in the Ultimate Spider-Man television series and campaigned to play Spider-Man in a film in 2010. Watts was aware of the campaign and asked Feige about casting Glover as soon as he was hired. The role was designed as “a surprise treat for fans”, with Davis referring to his nephew Morales appearing in future MCU films. Watts insisted Glover accept the part, assuring him that if he refused the offer, he would cut Davis from the film.
Jacob Batalon as Ned:
Parker’s best friend, who is a “total gamer”. Batalon described him as “the old best man, the best man, the number two man, the chair man” for Parker.

Watts noted that after Stark’s actions in Civil War, introducing Parker to life as an Avenger, “there was a lot of backlash for that. Is that the first move to Tony as a sort of mentor figure? Does he feel comfortable with that?” Co-writer Jonathan Goldstein compared Stark to Ethan Hawke’s father in Boyhood (2014).
