Probably none, and from what I understand, his pivotal aspect of the story won't be used in this civil war, for a fundamental reason.

But he is different to everyone else in the MCU and fills a niche. He is a quick-witted kid who infuriates 'heroes' an villains alike by acting like a teenager with powers all the time, and he cannot be touched.
Imagine if some snotty kid hung around you and made wise-cracks, who was actually smarter than you and who when he wound you up enough to try and physically restrain you couldn't even get within ten feet of, that's Spidey. D His best rivalry was with the equally young HUman-torch, whom he used to 'spray his web-fluid over'...ahem, and infuriate the piss outta him, cas it took effort to burn off.

I love the Sam Raimi SPidey films but I'd like to see a more faithful character adaptation on screen. D
I don't wanna see another reboot solo film...but that's on the way regardless....ho-hum.

Yeah, secret identities don't really exist in the MCU. It's one aspect that can't be used in the story, but I think it's pretty minor compared to the registering of supers.

If the this film worked like other films...maybe...but it doesn't. The MCU is unique. All the films are linked and the universe is an intricate thing that Marvel are trying to craft. It's pretty darn amazing. I love the fact we now have this immense tapestry of stuff which references back and forth. It'd be a bit weird if Spidey didn't pop up here, if he was gonna make an entrance (which taking all odds would be inevitable) in the MCU.

I can forgive the shoehorn. biggrin

Forgotten all about this.

My own top 3 MCU films are; GotG, WInter Soldier and Iron-Man. No particular order, Ant-Man is just outside.

I was woefully underwhelmed by Captain America. I think I watched it on the plane on the way to the USA. I am not sure what made me watch Winter SOlider, but glad I did.

What do MCU ppl here make of Captain AMerica (film).

I'd forgot it was called First Avenger. WS is just an outstanding film, different league.

You sit in a row of 4 seats that move around supposedly in sync with the film. There is also smoke, smells and strobe effects.
All it does is distract you from what's going on the screen.
Pretty much. fking ridiculous idea, clutching at straws, like smellovision from the 60s.

I thought Spidey was hilarious and caught the jabbering lil prick perfectly. As he constantly jabbers, as he is easily over powering the two jabronis. biggrin

Yeah, Zemo was really good, maybe the best villain we've seen.

He let people know about the body in the tub to let people know his plan?

Also, how did Cap know Buckt killed the Starks
