Captain America: Civil War - 10 Characters That Could Steal The Show

By Rob Leane /

1. Spider-Man

Of course, there could only be one winner €“ Tom Holland€™s Spider-Man, whom Marvel Studios and Sony will both be hoping to be the breakout star of Captain America: Civil War. Despite the ridiculous pressure of two major film studios€™ expectations weighing down on him, maybe €“ just maybe €“ Tom Holland can pull it off, by reviving Peter Parker on the big screen in a way that viewers really love. There€™s certainly an engaging Spidey-in-Civil-War framework from the comics that he could draw upon. In the comic book source material, Spider-Man was at centre, unmasking publicly at one point (to show his support for the government's transparency-encouraging stance), only to be betrayed by a major character later on and forced into changing sides. Seeing Peter€™s loyalties tested like this could allow Tom Holland to show off some serious dramatic chops (even if unmasking may be a rogue move). On top of that, he€™ll need to showcase that iconic Peter Parker sense of humour as well as holding his own in the action scenes of the movie. Ideally, there€™ll be an emotional core to his character, too (the romantic entanglements between Andrew Garfield's Spidey and Emma Stone's Gwen Stacey will be tough to beat on that front). It€™s not an easy task, and many of these key elements may be saved for his proper standalone movie, but if Holland gets enough screen time and stuff to do in Civil War we could go into that 2017 film already having a great Spider-Man established. Which character do you think will steal the show away from Cap and Tony in Civil War? Tell us in the comments€
