8 Theories About Spider-Man's Role In Captain America: Civil War
5. Tony Stark Will Make Him A New Suit
Tony Stark recruits Spider-Man in the comics, and builds him some pretty impressive Spider-armour to boot, as you can see in the image above (known as the Iron-Spider armour). Now there's talk that something similar will happen in the movie, even if it isn't closely sticking to the comics. One theory has been that Stark will give the young Spidey his web-shooters, which would be a quick way of showing how he gets them ahead of his solo movie in 2017, and this convinces Peter Parker to join Stark's side. The other is similar, but follows the comics more closely, with Geek.com reporting:
Tony goes to Peter Parker specifically to recruit him, and to seal the deal, offers him an advanced Spider-suit to fight in an upgrade from whatever 15-year-old Peter was previously slinging around in. But why would Peter even consider such an offer? Peter started becoming Spidey because he grew up and idolized Tony, our source revealed. Since Iron Man takes place 10 years before we meet Peter in Civil War, where Peter is 15, that means Peter was five-years-old when Tony broke onto the scene in the original Iron Man, likely dominating the news as Peter grew into a teenager. If the guy you admire and look up to suddenly shows up on your balcony with a sweet piece of tech and says, hey, lets be bros, are you going to turn him down?
It's certainly a plausible idea, and would be a good way of having Spider-Man slot straight in and solid reasoning for him joining Team Iron Man.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
