Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man' Might Have More Than A Cameo In CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
On the heels of confirmation that Tom Holland has already filmed his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War, now comes word that we will see much more than a cameo.
Though it's been confirmed countless times that Tom Holland will make his first appearance as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, there have not been any details on the size of his role. Given the highly-anticipated movie is somehow centered on Chris Evans' titular Super Soldier while also having supporting roles for most of the Avengers as well as fellow newbie Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther, we have all assumed that Spidey would only have a cameo. However, Devin Faraci of Birth.Movies.Death has now revealed how the Web-Slinger will have a somewhat larger presence.
In an article covering last week's news that Tom Holland has already filmed his Peter Parker cameo for Captain America: Civil War, which might have been done in a matter of days, Devin Faraci nonchalantly notes that Spidey has been on the set much longer by way of stunt men and other pre-VFX techniques. And that's because Civil War will see the teenager costumed in a few scenes and in battle, as opposed to just swinging by to show fans and general audiences that he's now in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And judging by the way that Faraci boasts this fight scene, it won't just be a disposable bad guy that Spider-Man will take on. The journo suggests it will "jockey" for 'Best Superhero Battle' lists "not because of how top tier the face-off will be, but because of how profoundly dorky and unlike any other big screen superhero fight it will be." What do you think?
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain. Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, and Martin Freeman, Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6, 2016.
