Captain America: Civil War - 12 Biggest Questions It Leaves Unanswered

2. Does Bucky's "Homecoming" Trigger Word Link To Spider-Man?

The Question: Several times throughout the movie, we hear that one of Bucky's "trigger" words to become a compliant killing machine is "homecoming". Is this some sort of link to the fact that Spider-Man's upcoming solo movie is called Spider-Man: Homecoming?

The Likely Answer: Nope, this is pure coincidence that some fans have decided to latch onto out of desperation. The script for Civil War was completed well over a year ago, and considering that Marvel only announced the Spider-Man title fairly recently, it's highly unlikely that they were just sitting on it for so long.

There's no link whatsoever, and besides, in what meaningful way could these two ever really link up? It wouldn't make any sense.
