Despite fans' complaints that there’s an overabundance of Spider-Man: Homecoming footage available online, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios aren’t hesitating to provide us with even more. For example, they recently dropped two new trailers for the movie, and they’ve announced that new footage will show up this weekend.
The Disney Channel will air special TV event A Fan's Guide to Spider-Man: Homecoming on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m. ET, as a part of a day-long event titled ALL ZenDAYa. During the special, Tom Holland and Zendaya will give us a behind-the-scenes look at the July 7, 2017 release, along with some "never-before-seen footage". Check out the promo clip for the special below!

SciFiNow Magazine (via Twitter's @ZendayaMedia) has provided new descriptions of Peter Parker's classmates, including Liz Allan (Laura Harrier), Ned (Jacob Batalon), Michelle (Zendaya), and Flash Thompson (Tony Revolori). Check them out:
Michelle
Smart, razor sharp, and obsessed with books, Michelle feels her classmates are below her, and elects not to make friends. Or even interact with people all that much"¦
Ned
Peter's classmate and best friend enjoys science and video games, and can be trusted even with Peter's deepest, darkest secrets. He's based on Ned Leeds from the Spidey comics.
Flash Thompson
As one of Peter's more famous rivals, Flash will be portrayed in the film as a rich, smug kid who likes to show off, played by The Grand Budapest Hotel's Tony Revolori.
Liz Allan
The film is bringing in Liz as Peter's love interest, instead of someone like Mary-Jane Watson or Gwen Stacy. Her "type-A" personality isn't for everyone, but Peter seems to like it.
Our last Spider-Man: Homecoming tidbit is about the movie's social media buzz over the past couple of weeks. According to media-measurement firm comScore's PreAct service (via Comic Book), the Jon Watts flick inspired 26,292 new conversations from May 15 through May 21. This number is lower than those for Baywatch (58,524); Wonder Woman (47,350); Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (44,052); and The Emoji Movie (38,571).
However, the same tracking service (via Variety) found a completely different scenario for the week of May 22. During that week, Spider-Man: Homecoming’s social media buzz overshadowed that of any other movie, with around 175,000 new conversations. This beats Star Wars: The Last Jedi's 120,000; Wonder Woman's 100,000; Cars 3's 16,700; and Dunkirk's 16,400 new conversations. The Marvel/Sony joint venture has generated as many as 1.87 million new conversations to date.
