Captain America: Civil War - 10 Biggest Potential Losers

10. Spider-Man

Already caught up in a superhero Civil War and it's only your first movie? Boy, that's the worst kind of luck, given the circumstances, don't you think? And yet that's the horrible plight that faces the latest incarnation of Spider-Man/Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland), a character who Marvel have confirmed will make an appearance in the upcoming flick in a relatively small - but still notable - capacity. Imagine, then, that you're a 15-year-old kid thrown into a crazy world of superheroes at a time of total and utter crisis. When Spider-Man emerges, after all, the superhero landscape will be an insanely dangerous one - this Peter Parker hasn't been afforded the luxury of a "build-up" (or even an origin story) in the same way that the other characters have. He's new to the game; he hasn't had time to test the ropes. Who, ultimately, can he trust? No matter what happens, he loses. Because he's inexperienced; because he's being forced into a confrontation that never needed to happen in the first place; because he's fifteen.
