In the early 1960s, London hums with innovation and change — and in one modest, intellectual household, a young Richard Parker is discovering who he is meant to be. Born in 1950 to Arthur and Evelyn Parker, two devoted scientists, Richard grew up surrounded by books, ideas, and an atmosphere of endless curiosity.

His parents’ passion for discovery shapes his world. Their home is filled with the sound of debate, the glow of experiments, and the constant push to think deeper and reach higher. Richard learns discipline, precision, and the beauty of asking why.

Between quiet nights in his makeshift laboratory and spirited conversations at the family table, a boy’s fascination with science becomes the foundation of something far greater. Yet even as he thrives under the weight of expectation, Richard’s gaze drifts beyond the window — toward a world waiting to be understood.

“Origins” is the cinematic beginning of Richard Parker’s story — the mind before the mission, the boy before the legacy. His journey begins here, in early 1960s London, where curiosity and conviction set him on a path that will one day help shape the destiny of Spider-Man himself.

Long before Peter Parker, there was Richard—a boy driven by an insatiable curiosity, a mind sharpened by discipline, and a heart seeking answers beyond the confines of any formula.

Journey to London on a stormy night, a tempestuous mirror to the young life unfolding. Born into a world of brilliant minds and rigid rules, Richard uncovers cryptic journals and coded equations, revealing a dangerous family legacy. With each discovery, new questions emerge, casting longer, deeper shadows.

Witness the pivotal moments that shaped him—the profound silence, the sting of failure, and the undeniable courage—and meet the boy who dared to see the world with an extraordinary vision.

Before he became a husband, before he became a father, he was simply a boy relentlessly pursuing truth, chasing shadows into the light.
