Film 11 of the official Underworld Productions Marvel Cinematic Universe

Taking place before the events of The X-Men: Rise and Fall, and 1 year after Spider-Man: Freshman Year, this movie follows Peter Parker, now a sophomore as he has to face new threats. William Baker was a worker for hire and during an excavation of a ruined Egyptian tomb, he accidentally unleashed an ethereal entity that took over him and gave him the powers of sand. Meanwhile when S.H.I.E.L.D's helicarrier is compromised a dark, black substance gets loose and it's first target is Mac Gargan, aka the Scorpion, who was hired by Tombstone to take the Spider-Man down. Spider-Man has trouble fighting Scorpion now that he has the power of the symbiote, but end up accidentally taking it from him. As the movie goes on Peter becomes darker and darker and colder to the people he cares about. Meanwhile Harry, with all this distance has become more set on killing Spider-Man for killing his father, as he believes. Peter has to fight off the symbiote in a bell tower as he remembers Uncle Ben and the words ringing in his ears "with great power, there must also come great responsibility" and as he rips it off he goes to stop William from destroying New York. Peter uses everything in his power to get William to the harbor and get him wet. He mushes up and becomes stiff giving Peter time to kick William out of the entity, saving the city. In the credits scene we see that Harry is looking at his father's old belongings.
