We've seen Spider-Man do many amazing things since he became part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but one specific power of his has not been depicted in either Captain America: Civil War or Spider-Man: Homecoming: his Spider-sense.
In the comics and in past animated and live-action incarnations of the character, Peter Parker would get a tingling sensation at the base of his skull when a threat was detected in his immediate surroundings. This near-precognitive power kept the wall-crawler safe from being surprised or ambushed.
And yet in his two appearances so far in the MCU, Tom Holland's Spidey has yet to show any signs that he possesses this ability. Indeed, the Spider-sense certainly should've warned Peter in Spider-Man: Homecoming that his pal Ned was in his bedroom and thus help keep his secret identity from being revealed, but it didn't. (See the clip from that scene below.)
I recently asked Marvel Studios president and Homecoming producer Kevin Feige if the Spider-sense exists in the MCU or if the need for such a super-power was negated thanks to Spidey's costume now being decked out with AI and other Stark tech that aids him in exploring his surroundings.
"No, I think he has it. And I think he has it with or without that suit," Feige told IGN. "I think how we explore it in a cinematic sense will change. I mean, that was sort of a big showy part of previous versions and we thought that we'd make it more of an internal, sort of second nature thing for him."
Feige continued, "But there are ways coming up that will slowly hint at that and also just make it part of his, you know, his natural abilities. But we don't know that if it will be -- I think we'll explore it further down the line, but [it's] definitely him not the suit."
