It has long been rumored that Spider-Man is joining the cast of "Captain America 3: Civil War."
And while Marvel has yet to release an official statement to this new development, Screen Rant confirmed that Spider-Man to be played by "In the Heart of the Sea" actor Tom Holland, is indeed going to be introduced in Marvel Cinematic Universe through "Captain America 3."
"So, as a surprise to no one who's been following these developments, Tom Holland's Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man will in fact appear in Captain America: Civil War," Screen Rant confirmed.
Apparently Holland has already tested out it's Spider-Man costume for his appearance in "Captain America 3: Civil War."
"We had heard descriptions of a Spider-Man costume and multiple reports of the shortlist of potential actors actually screen-testing as Parker on the Atlanta set of Civil War, and as confirmed yesterday in THR's cover story on Marvel's Ant-Man, Holland must 'immediately' report to set. So far, any shots involving Spider-Man must have been made with a double or stunt actor wearing the costume. Holland is really just needed for the Peter Parker sequences."
In an earlier interview, Kevin Feige teased that they have already found their Spidey and that he's just around the corner,
"There is a young kid [already] running around New York City in a homemade version of the Spider-Man costume in the MCU, you just don't know it yet."
And while Spider-Man's role in "Captain America: Civil War" has yet to be discussed, there ComicBookMovie claimed that he is most likely going to share some scenes with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr.
"...if the "Sony Hack" is to be believed, it will be Tony Stark who presents the young Spidey with his Iron Spider costume," the website said.
However, according to IB Times, Spidey could just be having a "cameo appearance in the film," citing that it's just probably a way for Marvel to introduce his standalone film.
Chris Evans has already expressed his enthusiasm with Tom Holland's casting as the new Spider-Man, welcoming him to the team on Twitter.
HUGE congrats to @TomHolland1996!!! Well deserved. We're lucky to have you.
