Tom Holland shows off Spidey flips

It’s hard to believe that we’re just two short months away from seeing Captain America:Civil War. The thing I’m most excited about seeing in this movie is Tom Holland’s take on Spider-Man. Back in August, the actor posted a video on his instagram account which showed him practising some moves.

Yesterday, he posted a video of himself doing something called a “side summy” it’s pretty impressive.

We still haven’t seen the new Spider-Man costume, but I assume that’s because both Sony and Marvel are still ironing out the finer points in their contract.

I’m sure Holland will be great in the role, but personally I would have brought Andrew Garfield back. In my version, Peter Parker would now be in his late thirties, retired and married to Mary Jane. Something would have happened that made him put on the famous suit again, I would have then killed Peter Parker off. Given him a heroes send-off, he would have died saving The Avengers. I would have then introduced Miles Morales in the post credit scene and kicked off a new franchise, with a new Spidey.

Tom Holland shows us his Spider-Man training 

I had long heard that Tom Holland was a highly skilled gymnast but I hadn’t actually seen any footage. Recently, he posted a video on his Instagram account so that we can see how he’s coming along. It is very, very impressive.

Holland’s Spider-Man will make his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War, which is released worldwide on the 6th of May, 2016.

Marvel wanted Spider-Man for infinity war as well as Civil War

The Sony hack gets more interesting every day.

A few weeks ago we learned that Marvel had approached Sony about the possibility of a Spider-Man cameo in Captain America:Civil War.

Today, some new details have emerged detailing just how Marvel wanted to use Spider-Man in the storyline.

It has also been revealed that he would have appeared in the two-part Avengers: Infinity War.

Marvel wanted Sony to launch a new Spider-Man series following Civil War. The new set of films wouldn’t directly continue the plot from civil war, but it would be made clear that it was in the same universe.

Spider-Man would have met the Avengers after Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) recruited him for the team. He would have gone on a mission with them, before returning to Sony for his own solo movie.

He would have then returned to assist in Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 and Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2. With Sony then having to release a second Spider-Man movie in 2019.

I would absolutely love to see a Spider-Man team up with The Avengers, but I would miss Andrew Garfield in the role. He was the saving grace of the past two movies.
