Spider-Man Makes his debut in the new Captain America: Civil War trailer

By Rick Marshall March 10, 2016

Marvel Studios has released the final, full-length trailer for Captain America: Civil War, and the superhero studio certainly appears to have saved the best for last.

After teasing the arrival of the final trailer throughout the week, the latest peek at one of the year’s most-anticipated films doesn’t disappoint with plenty of action, lots of fresh footage, and the long-awaited debut of everyone’s favorite webslinger in the Marvel movie-verse: Spider-Man. Basically, there’s a lot going on in the new trailer, and it should all bring a smile to fans’ faces.

Set in the aftermath of of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the film has Captain America, Iron Man, and the rest of The Avengers dealing with the consequences of their explosive adventures over the course of the first two phases of Marvel’s cinematic universe. Faced with the fallout from their actions, the team finds themselves divided on how to police their future endeavors, and that split turns into an all-out war between the world’s greatest heroes.

Along with bringing back many of the key players in Marvel’s movie-verse, the film also introduces Chadwick Boseman as African superhero Black Panther and — as glimpsed in the final moments in the trailer — Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man. The brief scene provides our first look at Holland as Peter Parker’s costumed alter ego, and also offers an indication of where the wall-crawler’s allegiances will fall in the feud between Marvel’s heroes.

Directed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo, Civil War stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Paul Bettany, Paul Rudd, William Hurt, and Frank Grillo in returning roles from the earlier films.

Other newcomers to Marvel’s cinematic universe in Civil War will be Emily VanCamp as Sharon “Agent 13” Carter and Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo.

Captain America: Civil War is scheduled to hit theaters May 6, 2016.

What’s new in Spider-Man: No Way Home’s More Fun Stuff Version

Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland, and Tobey Magure behind the scenes of "Spider-Man: No Way Home."

Spider-Man: No Way Home has swung back into theaters with the release of its extended cut, "The More Fun Stuff Version." Featuring 11 minutes of extra content, this longer film is a treat for audiences who enjoyed the original superhero blockbuster.

Overall, the movie's additional footage doesn't add any crucial details to the plot, as it's mainly bits of comedy sprinkled into the mix for the audience's enjoyment. Despite that, "The More Fun Stuff Version" makes for a fun cinematic experience that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will want to see. For those considering seeing this new edition of the film, here's a list of notable changes audiences will want to look out for in theaters. Obviously, the following contains spoilers, but you wouldn't be here if you didn't know that, right?

Spider-Man: No Way Home’s new trailer brings back some old friends

Maskless Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Today in Los Angeles, Sony finally unveiled a new trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, dropped by to introduce the trailer in front of a live crowd. But if you've been holding out hope of seeing Daredevil or two other Spider-Men in this trailer then your hopes are about to be dashed. There's no sign of Matt Cox, Tobey Maguire, or Andrew Garfield in this video, or that there's any definitive truth to those persistent rumors. Instead, this trailer is all about the bad guys. Five of them to be exact. One more, and it's a Sinister Six!

In the aftermath of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Peter Parker's life is a wreck. It's not just the fact that his identity has been exposed. Spider-Man's reputation has been smeared and people think that he's a murderer. Or as J. Jonah Jameson might put it, "a menace!" Unfortunately, Peter's attempt to recruit Doctor Strange for a supernatural solution has gone very badly. Instead of simply making the world forget Peter's secret, the spell has unleashed Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, the Lizard, and even the deadliest villain of them all: The Green Goblin.

Familiar faces return in the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home

Peter Parker has a big problem. In the mid-credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Mysterio got his revenge on Peter by exposing his double life as Spidey and framing him for murder. Due to that turn of events, the hero touted as "the next Iron Man" is suddenly public enemy number one. Now, after a great deal of anticipation, we finally have an advance look at Spider-Man: No Way Home. Perhaps in response to the rough cut of the trailer leaking over the weekend, Sony Pictures debuted the first trailer for No Way Home at CinemaCon last night.
