'Captain America: Civil War' Spiderman: Russos Promise Entirely 'Unique' Peter Parker, What Should You Expect? [VIDEO]
Captain America: Civil War's Spider-Man won't be the same old web slinger Andrew Garfield and Toby McGuire swung through over a decade of films.
No, Tom Holland's run at Peter Park will drop Spidey's "old-fashioned patina" in exchange for a undated look at the Queens native.
"This is a completely new version of Spider-Man that's introduced in Civil War," co-director Anthony Russo teased, according to Comic Book Movie. "We wanted to think about who is Spider-Man today if he's living in Queens, what's the texture of his life like, what's the texture of his relationship with his aunt who lives with him. How can we make the relationship and character very contemporary?"
To accomplish that goal, the Russo brothers want to keep the NYC hero firmly in his teens.
His status as a high school student is "a part of his vulnerability and it's what makes him special in the Marvel Universe; he's very unique," Russo explained. "We wanted to play to that aspect of the character."
Marvel dropped the first Civil War trailer just before Thanksgiving, but Parker was conspicuously absent. The extent of Spider-Man's involvement in Caps (Chris Evans) and Stark's (Robert Downey, Jr.) is unknown, and viewers may have to wait until May 6 to find out exactly what the MCU newbie is up to.
