In February 2015, Sony Pictures, who hold the cinematic
rights to the web-slinging superhero, and Marvel Studios reached
an agreement for the character to appear in the Walt Disney
Avengers franchise as well as a 2017 stand-alone movie under
Sony.
Then, in June of 2015, Marvel Studios announced that little
known English actor Tom Holland had been picked to play the
alter ego of Peter Parker, who has previously been brought to
life by actors Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire.
The character appears at the end of the trailer released on
Thursday wrenching Captain America's shield off him and then
saying "Hey, everyone."
Spider-Man isn't the only new Marvel Comics' character to make a
prominent appearance in the trailer. Also seen in action are
Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Crossbones (Frank Grillo)
as well as recently introduced Avengers Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth
Olsen), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Vision (Paul Bettany).
"Captain America: Civil War" sees fellow Avengers Captain
America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) turn
against each other which will in turn see the ever-increasing
number of Avengers choose sides between the two of them.
The film is scheduled for release on May 6 in North America.
