15 Supporting Comic Book Movie Characters Who Stole The Show

Ten minutes was all it took a suited up Tom Holland to convince us he was the real deal as Spider-Man. Hopping, skipping and flinging out web bursts and Star Wars quotes in equal measure, he was the star of Civil War's big superhero mash up. Somehow, he whipped Cap's shield away from him and the whole movie at the same time.

Even prior to this grandstand moment, out of the suit and in his bedroom having some interplay with a curious Tony Stark, you can see Holland's Spidey is going to be something special, retaining that geeky element inherent in the character, but going him a techie upgrade as seen in pivotal comic imprint, Ultimate Spider-Man. Homecoming really can't come soon enough.
