The MCU continues it's Disney Plus expansion with a family-centric neighborhood-heroism story about a Pakistani-American teen from New Jersey discovering a family legacy (or is it?) of mysterious superhuman abilities that feels like Marvel Studios' first real attempt at a 21st Century version of the early-2000s "SPIDER-MAN" movies: An old-school origin tale for a plucky, awkward teenage superhero rooted deeply in a specific sense of warm, lived-in community - though here a hip, contemporary romanticism of working-class Muslim neighborhoods in Jersey versus Sam Raimi’s nostalgic retro-Americana New York (an affected revisited recently in "DOCTOR STRANGE 2.") A strong supporting cast, measured balance of humanity vs action and vibrant sense of bigger secrets to come promise a strong saga yet to unfold, but Iman Vellani shines immediately in the title role as the latest would be "Young Avenger" in Marvel-Disney's rapidly expanding roster of brand-friendly child soldiers.
