Based on what Kevin Feige has said about the film, there are actually quite a few similarities between this film and Ultimate Spider-Man. Peter will be in highschool, he will have his classic costume, it will include new villains and awkward interactions between him and other superheroes (the film will feature Iron Man as a way of mixing the events in 'Captain America: Civil War' with the new plot). He will also show the same wit as in the latter film.
