'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Release Date, Production News: Reshoots Kick Off in Atlanta
Three months until the release of Marvel's "Spider-Man: Homecoming," production has started its reshoots. This was confirmed by 26-year-old actress Laura Harrier, who is set to portray the new love interest of Peter Parker (Tom Holland), Liz Allan, in the upcoming film.
Years ago, a film would only undergo reshoots when troubles plague its production. These days, however, most film studios take reshoots as part of the editing process. In recent years, reshooting some scenes has become part and parcel of every production, having its own share of allocation in the overall budget.
As for "Spider-Man: Homecoming," principal photography kicked off sometime in June 2016 and wrapped up in October of the same year. Right now, the production is reportedly busy reshooting and adding new scenes as part of the filmmaking process.
