Spider-Man director reveals Peter Parker’s age in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

September 22, 2015 by Gary Collinson

While we’ve known for some time that Sony and Marvel are taking Spider-Man back to high school for the web-slinger’s Marvel Cinematic Universe incarnation, we haven’t known exactly how old Tom Holland’s Peter Parker will be… until now.

Speaking to Empire (via Yahoo), director Jon Watts revealed that: “I love the idea of making a coming-of-age high-school movie. We’re really going to see Peter Parker in high school and get deeper into that side of it. He’s just 15 now.”
