It surprised many when it was announced that Marvel and Sony had done a deal that would allows Spider-man to show up in Captain America: Civil War, as well as for Marvel to provide some creative direction for a new stand-alone Spidey movie. What wasn’t clear at the time was whether that would mean any of the Marvel universe character would show up in the Spider-man film.
Now it appears that they will, as EW reports that Marvel head honcho told them that while it will be a Sony movie, other Marvel characters are likely to appear too. He says, “[Spider-Man] is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth.”
However, there’s no news on what characters might show up.
Bringing Spider-man into the Marvel universe seems to be paying off, as in early reports from critics screenings of Civil War, Tom Holland’s take on the web-slinger has come in for particular praise. He’ll also play the character in the stand-alone film, planned for 2017, with Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. Jon Watts will direct.

I’m presuming next year’s crop of tenpole movies will see a lot of superheroes heading off for relationship counselling, as this year they’re all fighting. After Batman v Superman we’ll be getting Captain America: Civil War, which will see the Avengers fighting with one another, with the two sides led by the Cap and Iron Man.
Pretty much everyone from Avengers is showing up in Captain America: Civil War, except for Thor and Hulk (but that’s because they’re teaming up for their own adventure). As a result, Marvel is hoping the film is going to be huge and so it’s no suprise they felt the need for a Super Bowl spot, which you can take a look at below.
