They might include a flashback to the origin as a nod at some point. But honestly they might just skip it since the "origin" parts were already covered in civil war. Peter is a mechanically gifted kid who made his web shooters and webbing. He's got super powers and Tony gave him his suit.

But, if your question is are they skipping to the movie starting with spider man being spider man then the answer appears to be yes.

Does John Cena actually own a pair of pants or does he exclusively wear shorts?

Horses are aware of what cameras are. I've had at least three stop and pose, when I am out taking pictures.

Honestly it's a little unsettling.

Do people actually like super hero origin stories or is it just something that film makers think they need to do? Even if you don't already know who Spider-Man is, are you going to be hopelessly lost if you just see a movie about a guy who already has spider powers swinging around and fighting bad guys? How many times do we need to see uncle Ben killed? Or the Waynes or the planet Krypton or whatever? I think audiences can probably handle jumping straight to the good bit. Redoing the same plots is one thing, redoing the least entertaining one every time is another.

If you've absolutely got to include the origin, do it like a five minute recap, not a whole movie.

For most superheros the origin story is the most iconic thing about them, it is in essence who they are.

Spiderman (real name Peter Parker) was a normal teenager who was bitten by a radioactive spider, which gave him spider-like superpowers such as quick reflexes, heightened senses, and the ability to create webs. He uses these powers to fight criminals, some of which have super-powers themselves.
