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.
