11 Actors Who Should Play Spider-Man In Captain America: Civil War

Who cares about the Oscars when news like this breaks? After what feels like decades of negotiations, Marvel have done whatever a spider can and added the web-slinger to the MCU - albeit briefly - presumably after telling Sony that what they've done so far is still really great and in no way now totally invalidated, while pushing a gigantic pile of money towards them. Quite what Sony get out of the deal, besides untold riches is up for debate: perhaps they just don't have the confidence they once did in Marc Webb's unified Spidey-universe and have been convinced by Kevin Feige that they too can score MCU sized hits and become entirely critic proof at the same time. As carrots go, that's got to be a big one for the stuttering studio with so many internal problems recently. Though it was unconfirmed, it makes sense that Marvel are looking to borrow Spider-Man for Captain America: Civil War, because the character plays such a big part of Tony Stark's registration act by unmasking in public. Very much a case of two plus two equals Civil War, but the reasoning is beyond compelling. Also conspicuous by its absence in the official press release was the inclusion of Andrew Garfield, who seems to have confined to the same scrap heap as Marc Webb - as expected - which inevitably begs the question of who will take centre-stage in the new creative direction for Spider-Man promised by the announcement. Who should it be? Does it really have to be a new actor? Does it even have to be Peter Parker? All this and more answered on your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man...
