Now that the “Captain America: Civil War” trailer has dropped everyone’s dying to see what Spider-Man is going to look like. Although we haven’t seen the wallcrawler’s new look yet, director Anthony Russo recently talked a little bit about the character’s role in the film at the Comic-Con Experience in São Paulo, Brazil. He says that right from the very beginning, it was always the plan to have Spidey in the film although they didn’t know if it would happen.
“From the second we had the idea to do the story of Civil War, Spider-Man was a part of the story. It was a very complicated business arrangement for Marvel Studios to be able to use Spider-Man from Sony. So, we were always told by Marvel ‘Don’t count on it, you may not get to use Spider-Man, so you better have a plan B’ And we were like ‘Okay, we get it, we have a plan B if don’t get Spider-Man; we’ll figure the movie out’. But the truth is, we never had a plan B. We only have envisioned the movie with Spider-Man. He was always a part of the story. It was very important to us to reintroduce the character.” Russo said.
He did also mention that we’re all really going to love Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War.” Although we have yet to see the new Spider-Man in costume, people keep saying good things about him so that’s something to be excited about right?
Spider-Man will make his MCU debut in “Captain America: Civil War” which premieres on May 6, 2016.
