"Captain America: Civil War" might be about the conflicts between Chris Evans' Steve Rogers and Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, but the film also has a brilliant scene-stealer in Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Early reviews have already raved about the new Peter Parker, who gets to be a major part of the action in "Captain America: Civil War."
But just how different is the "Captain America: Civil War" Spider-Man from the previous Peter Parkers? Here are 3 reasons why Tom Holland's new Spidey could be the best webslinger in cinematic history!
Tom Holland's New Spider-Man Looks AND Sounds Like An Actual Teenager
Marvel big boss Kevin Feige has already confirmed with SlashFilm that "Captain America: Civil War," as well as Tom Holland's solo flick "Spider-Man: Homecoming," will feature "a much younger Spidey" who doesn't look like a twenty-something. "The other heroes don't have to worry about homework. They don't have to worry about being home at a certain time," Feige said. "That's what makes Spider-Man Spider-Man."
Tom Holland is an actual teenager and his Spider-Man voice certainly sounds like he hasn't hit puberty quite yet. A new teaser for "Captain America: Civil War" features Spider-Man going up against Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes.
In the "Captain America: Civil War" clip, Spider-Man is seen exclaiming about The Winter Soldier's bionic arm. Any other superhero would simply scoff at Bucky's prosthesis, but not Spider-Man, who gushes, "That's awesome!"
Tom Holland's New Spider-Man Is Already In Control Of His Powers
Kevin Feige also stated that Tom Holland's Peter Parker has kept his superhero alter-ego for some time and has had some practice before his "Captain America: Civil War" appearance. "We also wanted to let audiences know he's already Spider-Man; he's been Spider-Man for a little while when we meet him," Feige said.
This means he might be young and has a tendency to get overly talkative. However, he already knows how to work his way around the more experienced Avengers and isn't prone to rookie mistakes in "Captain America: Civil War."

Tom Holland's New Spider-Man Is Hilarious
The one thing that the young Peter Parker had going for him in the comic books has always been his tendency for brilliant one-liners. Tom Holland is already getting rave reviews for his performance in "Captain America: Civil War," even from costar Chris Evans (via IGN). There is a great possibility that Marvel fans will love him just as well.
Catch Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in "Captain America: Civil War," which hits theaters on May 6. He will also appear in "Spider-Man: Homecoming," which is scheduled for release on July 7, 2017.
