Meet the new Spider-Man in the latest Captain America: Civil War trailer
It may not have the word "Avengers" in the title, but Captain America: Civil War is shaping up to be Marvel's biggest superhero movie yet, with the company's many superheroes splitting into opposing armies led by Captain America and Iron Man. The film's latest trailer shows just how many superheroes have returned to the fray:
But as wild as it is to see so many established superheroes go head-to-head, the new trailer for Captain America: Civil War will likely draw attention for the new superheroes being introduced. The trailer shines a spotlight on Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), a superhero appearing on the big screen for the first time, who is already scheduled for his own movie in 2018.
But there's also a face that will be exceptionally familiar to moviegoers: Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who has already appeared in two separate (and aborted) film franchises. Captain America: Civil War marks the character's introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he nabs Captain America's shield with a spider-web — and given his squeaky voice, it's clear that this Spider-Man is still very much a high schooler.
