Instead he can swap banter with Iron Man, fend off Robert Downey Jr’s dodgy yummy granny jokes about Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May and begin learning about this whole superhero thing from someone who’s been there and bought the planet-saving T-shirt in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming. The key difference from the Sony movies, surely, was that Spidey now has something to do: territory to swing into that doesn’t involve rehashing the whole “with great power comes great responsibility”/death of Uncle Ben origins story for the umpteenth time on the big screen. As Spider-Man, he was more than a match for his superhero elders in terms of both balletic athleticism and searing badinage. Holland’s portrayal of a brutally green, teenage take on the webslinger suggested he will be a fascinating addition to the Marvel universe. Tom Holland’s debuting wallcrawler may not have played the pivotal role in the superhero spat that he did in the comics, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t one of the star turns of Civil War. Did the whole thing hold together for you? Spider-Man This time around, the author of all the former Avengers’ pain is Daniel Brühl’s Helmut Zemo, whose meticulously planned goal (borrowed from The Killing Joke-era Joker) is to prove that our superhero pals can be pulled apart and turned against one another with just a few swift feints of devious planning. The main bad guy in Captain America: The Winter Soldier was arguably not the title character at all but Robert Redford’s turncoat Shield boss, Alexander Pierce. It’s never a bad thing to have the odd Norse trickster deity or multitudinous omnipotent artificial intelligence in your back pocket for the next Avengers movie, but Iron Man and his pals can’t continue to battle ever more preposterously conceived megabaddies or the audience’s well of amazement will begin to run dry. One of the most impressive things about the Russo brothers’ Captain America outings is the manner in which they take things down a notch or two on the supervillain front. And all without a shonky “your mum has the same name as my mum!”-style moment of epiphany.
CAPTIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR SPOILERS MOVIE
The movie even, just about, leaves the door open for Steve Rogers and Tony Stark to reconcile in time for the events of 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War – Part One. Marvel faced a similar task with Civil War, which features debuts for the new Spider-Man and Black Panther as well as a huge amount of fleshing out for characters such as the Vision and Scarlet Witch, yet never feels in the least bit clunky. Rival studio Warner Bros tried to set up an entire comic-book universe with the clumsily configured Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, shoehorning in a new Batman and Wonder Woman alongside hints at Aquaman, the Flash and Cyborg, while also deciding that the caped crusader had to have an almighty battle with the man of steel. If Bond production company Eon ever decides it needs to replace long-term 007 flame-keepers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, they could do worse than hire screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who have overseen all three Captain America films.
