This will be a movie with a Spider-Man that has been a hero for 6 months. The population of Queens have a divided attention upon him but that doesn't change Peter. My vision for this trilogy is to have a highschool vibe with high and emotional stakes. Doc Ock being Peter's physics teacher would make us forget his fate as a villain. Peter will still be a rookie but very academically brilliant with his friend, Harry. Peter will get into trouble with mediocre villains and the Scorpion. A new kid who joined the school, Gwen Stacy, will be Peter's first crush. It's not going to be a big part of the movie but to an extent that we understand why Peter likes Gwen. After everything, Peter still keeps trying and thats what I want this movie to incorporate, the heart of Spider-Man. For most of the movie, he'll be wearing his homemade suit. Though in the 3rd act to defeat Doc Ock, Peter truly understands with great power comes great responsibility and he dons his classic uniform. Throughout the movie, we get to see that Peter matures. The city of Queens should be a character as well. In how it visually looks, how the people act and their reception to Spider-Man. It will take inspiration from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, PS4 Spider-Man and loosely Homecoming.
