When the Captain America: Civil War trailer was released last week, we got our first glimpse of Tom Holland as Spider-Man, which was a great end to a terrific trailer.
Spider-Man is joining the Marvel ranks for the first time due to a deal between Marvel Studio/Disney and Sony - who own the rights to the character.
Now director Anthony Russo is dropping little hints as to where the popular character is going to fit into the Captain America: Civil War story.
In the trailer, it looked like Spidey was siding with Iron Man, but it looks like he may not actually be part of the conflict between the Avengers.
Speaking to Forbes, the director said: “I’ll say this, part of the fun of Spider-Man is that this film is basically a war amongst the Avengers and Spidey does not have the baggage that all these other characters have.
“He enters the story after the conflict that is happening between the Avengers and that gives him a very unique place in the story.”Holland will take on the role of Spider-Man for the first time in Civil War, before going to star in his own solo film. While Holland is no stranger to the big screen with In The Heart of the Sea and The Impossible under his belt, this looks set to be the role that will make him a global star.
If we are going to see Spider-Man in the upcoming Infinity War movies is still unclear but I am excited to see just where he is going to fit into the Civil War story.
Anthony and Joe Russo are back in the director’s chair for Captain America: Civil War, their first film since the huge success of The Winter Solider back in 2014. And the filmmaking brothers will be sticking with Marvel as they are set to take over from Joss Whedon to direct the next Avengers film.
