Civil War The Official Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Thread

[Doc Ock]

I have a feeling people who are expecting this are going to be really disappointed.

Indeed, I don't understand why it keeps coming up as a topic.

Norman looks immensely like Tommy Lee Jones in that panel

Yes, I believe the artist did it that way on purpose...maybe...

 

[First Avenger]

I think that,for Spidey,they should use the DOFP Quicksilver approach: little introduction,a kick-ass action scene,out of the picture,see you next year!

 

[Mike Murdock]

I think Black Panther should remain the character stuck in the middle of the Iron Man-Cap conflict because after going global in AOU it makes the most sense. With Spider-man, I would do a small scene where both sides are racing to recruit heroes to their sides. Both approach Spidey, and Spidey (who idolizes both of them) says he cannot pick a side because it is not the right thing to do. He would tell them that heroes shouldn't fight each other, and that his uncle taught him a lesson that is applicable:

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Of course Tony and Cap would ignore it, leading to the conflict to continue and grow in the movie. However, by the end, they come to realize the true meaning of that message.

Yeah, I think that's the best way to handle it. Although, frankly, neither Black Panther nor Spider-Man make sense to take Spider-Man's role. They need somebody with a long-established history and ties to both characters. They're better with Black Widow or Hawkeye than anyone who is new. And it doesn't make sense why Wakanda would care about something like this either way.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I could buy Peter being afraid of helping the Avengers during the invasion(s), especially if he's a high school era Spider-Man. I've never bought him as a world saver to begin with.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

I imagine he wouldn't have been Spidey yet during Avengers.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Yeah, that's the simplest explanation (and best reason to bring him back to High School). While I don't know if the movies move in real time, I suspect it'll still be a couple years since Avengers by the time we get to Civil War. I think that gives him time to get his powers and fight street crime without having to get involved in any big conflicts (none of which were in New York since).

 

[docdoc]

And yeah, I am assuming if they do another origin for the 2017 film it'll take place earlier in the MCU timeline. For some reason.

Most likely not.

In the leaked emails from SONY hacks, Marvel suggested Sony to make a Spider-man reboot in 2017, in which Spider-Man will find himself in an era where all the superheroes are split into two group due to the earlier Civil War. Spider-man will first be introduced in Civil War.

And according to the official plans for this new Spider-Man, Sony is following the exact same plan suggested by Marvel.

Wrong. It's Sony who suggested What you named. Other than Spidey being in Civil War (which Marvel proposed first), these were all details of Sony's counteroffer.

That's what I am thinking. Perhaps he doesn't become Spidey until during/after the Civil War conflict. I can totally see them sticking in the ending credits scene of who ever is going to be playing Spider-Man, starting to get his first reaction to the bite.

 

[Katsuro]

What if the solo Spider-Man movie used flashbacks to show his earlier days, and it set them against the other events in the MCU? For example, we could see a scene of an out-of-costume Peter Parker trying to secretly help people during the Battle of New York.

While he was still getting used to his powers? I could dig that. Show him in a ski mask or something trying to save random people. That would actually be fantastic!

 

[Miken Ayers]

I still think two versions of this film's script were penned almost a year ago. One with Spider-Man and one without. As soon as this news broke, the movie we were almost certain to get ended up in the shredder.

 

[Venom'sDad]

this is what kinda makes me worried that we'll be seeing another origin story, instead of an established character

Once he's confirmed in Civil War, then no origin is guaranteed for his role in the film and his solo.

Marvel have yet to make a prequel solo film (the ending of TFA made up for that situation) to the current timeline. I doubt they'd start with Spider-Man on top of the fact that he's being rebooted so quickly.

And yeah, I am assuming if they do another origin for the 2017 film it'll take place earlier in the MCU timeline. For some reason.

I'm not so sure an origin story will happen...yes i can see reference to his beginnings & maybe Ben's murder; but, if he's in CW, as an already existing superhero, origin story is out the window, imo.

 

[Frog Warlord]

I don't think we need an origin story. Depending on how they want to use him in Civil War, we might just see the origin (being bitten by a spider) in the after-credits scene. The stand-alone movie could explain the origins + the uncle Ben great power & great responsibility thing in 2-3 sentences of voice over and intro.

Just Incredible Hulk the origin during the opening credits, but also show Cindy Moon get bit immediately afterward.

On a similar note, if they don't want to say he wasn't Spider-Man yet, they could make a One Shot. Show Spidey swinging to help rescue people on the outskirts of the battle, fighting a straggler alien or two. The Avengers are too busy in the main fray to notice Spidey's contribution. Then after the battle, we see all the public celebrating the Avengers for their heroism (like the montage at the end of Avengers). No mention of Spidey. All the news Spidey gets is JJJ condemning Spidey, maybe blaming him for damage that happened in the areas he helped. Was Spider-Man in cahoots with the aliens? Typical Parker luck.

That would be perfect,I still want a bit of an origin but only in the opening credits like TIH and something like that would be a great fit for the MCU!

 

[BarryAllen]

With Civil War having Cap and Iron Man fighting over their values while kind of compromising them at the same time, what if this is the perfect opportunity for Spider-man to step up as the ideal hero? A young, fresh face who truly believes that superheroes have a duty to serve the people, and that Cap and Iron Man have kind of forgotten that in their war against each other.

 

[Bangarang]

I still think two versions of this film's script were penned almost a year ago. One with Spider-Man and one without. As soon as this news broke, the movie we were almost certain to get ended up in the shredder.

I completely agree, however I take it a step further. I believe they had this planned out the whole time. They're freaking Disney/Marvel, I don't think they doubted they would make a deal for even a second.

So no, I don't believe anyone's role will be changed for spiderman, as I think he's been in the script this whole time.

Now for my theory, I think spidey will be 16 and already have his powers.

He will be fighting crime in like a ski mask or something similar to what Miles wore when he first started out.

He will first side with Captain due to how much he looks up to him or something.

Tony will come along they bond etc. and Tony will make him the suit we all know and love, explaining how a kid could make such a complicated suit.
I don't think they will do the Iron Spider.

Now he's torn but eventually sides with Tony, black panther will side with Cap.

Spiderman is about to take off his mask or what ever the mcu equivalent ends up being and cap gets shot before he does.

Everyone is left shocked, etc. While spidey gets to keep his secret identity.

 

[Overman27pj]

We are currently several months, if not years, out in the MCU from the battle of NY, why not just suppose something happened to Pete post that battle, or just before it, and then he was inspired to become a superhero from the actions of the Avengers? Works for me! Uncle Ben can even come later, and it would still work...

 

[MCULawyer]

If they had the rights earlier, seeing Uncle Ben's death in Daredevil would have been cool. I really think Spidey will start out in a low tech suit and get something better in the movie. All the explanations never made sense to me, even with some of the good homemade cosplay costumes.

 

[Superhero 101]

I think that,for Spidey,they should use the DOFP Quicksilver approach: little introduction,a kick-ass action scene,out of the picture,see you next year!

I wouldn't mind something like that that would be the perfect amount of screen time.

With Spider-man, I would do a small scene where both sides are racing to recruit heroes to their sides.

Of course Tony and Cap would ignore it, leading to the conflict to continue and grow in the movie. However, by the end, they come to realize the true meaning of that message.

Black Panther isn't suck in the middle. He's sits on the sidelines and contemplates whether he should get involved or not.

 

[BarryAllen]

Black Panther isn't suck in the middle. He's sits on the sidelines and contemplates whether he should get involved or not.

Well I assume he'll be stuck in the middle of Cap and Iron Man's conflict and then observe from the outside without picking a side. That's what I got from the rock-papers-scissors thing at the announcing.

 

[Comic Book Guy]

I imagine he wouldn't have been Spidey yet during Avengers.

Yeah. By Civil War 4 years would have past since the first Avengers movie (since Marvel is letting the in-universe time for the films coincide with the real world). So that's a gap of 4 years from when Peter can become Spider-Man. If he's introduced as a 16 year old in Civil War that would mean he was only 12 during the first Avengers movie and the earliest he could have gotten his powers in the MCU is around the time of AOU. So, in the MCU, Civil War is really the perfect time for Spidey to be introduced in-universe. It's really funny how these things work out so well.
