It’s on one of those canals in Venice - though not in his Spider-Man disguise - that Peter Parker learns a valuable lesson in feminism, courtesy of his friend MJ (Zendaya). “You look really pretty,” Peter tells MJ, to which she replies: “And therefore I have value?”

“No no, that’s not what I -” Peter mumbles, but MJ just grins. “I’m messing with you. You look… pretty too.”

One of the highlights from Spider-Man: Homecoming was the way that movie never underestimated or undervalued its female characters. As Liz, Laura Harrier completely redefined what it means to be a love interest in a superhero movie. She never screamed in distress or languished in the background. She was the captain of Peter’s academic decathlon team, and routinely called him out for not putting his studies first.

“She’s not there for the boy,” Harrier has said. “There are a million things that are her focus: school, her career, college applications, all these things, but definitely not the boy. She’s not there just to look pretty and hang out with Peter.”
