After the trailer debuted, filmmakerJames Gunn, who is currently in production onMarvel’sGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, revealed on hisTwitterpage that he thinks this Spidey is hand down the best ever.
“I thinkTom Hollandis the best Spidey/Peter Parkerever by a country mile. It’s his own thing. He is to Spidey as(Robert) Downey (Jr.)is to Iron Man,(Heath) Ledgerwas to theJoker,(Chris) Prattis toStar-Lord.”
Captain America: Civil Warwill pit teams led by Captain America and Iron Man against each other, and while the studio revealed who was on which side, it was never clear which team Spidey will be fighting alongside. Team Iron Man includes Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), War Machine (Don Cheadle) and the new character T’challa (Chadwick Boseman), who will make his debut in this movie before starring inBlack Panther, set for release on August 14, 2025. Team Cap includes Captain America (Chris Evans), The Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). The final shot of this trailer reveals that Spidey is fighting for Team Iron Man, when Tony Stark calls out “Underoos,” and Spidey snags Cap’s shield and restrains his wrists with web shooters, before we see his costume for the first time.
