The latest trailer for "Captain America: Civil War" puts the conflict between Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans) into better context but it also gave fans their first look at Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland. Despite being in for merely a few seconds, the trailer already gives a few hints regarding his involvement in the film.
As stated in a report from IGN, there are many hints that the suit may be a gift from Iron Man. While the suit generally resembles the one famous in the comics, which is also the one utilized by the previous two iterations of the character, there are a few differences that make this one stand out, such as the mechanical eye lenses and the web shooters.
Spider-Man aka Peter Parker is known in the comics as a young high school genius but the trailer clearly indicates he is fighting on Iron Man's team, which means he may have access to Iron Man's resources. It is further speculated that Iron Man himself may have had something to do with helping Peter Parker create his mechanical web shooters.
The character's belt also shows a few extra cartridges. This will be a first for any live-action adaptation and will allow Spider-Man to instantly refill his wrist web-shooters whenever the current one runs out of formula.
It is also surmised that Iron Man may have created the mask Spider-Man is wearing in this trailer because of the way the eye lenses can narrow and widen, allowing Spider-Man to further express himself even when his face is fully covered. It is also noted that when the lenses narrow, a soft mechanical whirl can be heard.
Other suit details, such as the wide emblem on the back and the smaller black emblem on the front, seem to indicate that this suit is primarily inspired by the comic book designs by Steve Ditko and Alex Ross. A few embellishments, such as breaks in the red sections and lining in the blue areas, also make the costume look more professionally done.
"Captain America: Civil War" opens in theaters on May 6.
