1. The film will reference Spideys famous origin story, but dont expect any flashbacks to it.
Figured that.
2. Michael Keaton is the rare Marvel supervillain to have a family and be a father. Hes got sort of a Tony Soprano mentality, Carroll said.
That's cool.
4. Spideys web shooters have been upgraded in that they have various settings to them. He can scroll through different web settings, like spinning web, web ball, ricochet web
all of the stuff we can see him do in the comics, Tony has built into this [suit], Carroll said.
Glad we're gonna get to see that, even if it's a Stark idea.
6. You will hear about Uncle Ben even though he doesnt make it into this movie. Were trying to tell is this sort of fun story of about a kid who is doing all the wrong things for the right reasons, Carroll said. And once you [bring in Uncle Ben], it stops becoming a sort of fun movie about a kid trying to be a kid. Hes mourning the loss of a parent.
Thank goodness.
7. Dont worry, Robert Downey Jr. is in more than two scenes. Hes in like five or six scenes, Carroll revealed.
Meh.
8. No OsCorp in this Spider-Man film. Producer Eric Carroll stressed that they went above and beyond to present a film that was unlike any of the others that have come before it. We figured, honestly, if there was a way to do this movie without mentioning anyone who has been in any of the past films with the exception of a couple of staples, like Flash and Aunt May, that might be a good thing to do, he said.
That was a given.
9. Another Spidey staple not featured: The Daily Bugle. We toyed with it for a while, Carroll said. But again, we didnt want to go down that road right away and if we do a Daily Bugle, we want to do it in a way that feels contemporary.
That was also a given.
10. Although this is a much younger and much different Spider-Man than weve seen previously, actor Tom Holland did borrow bits and pieces from both Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguires takes.
I think from Tobey Im taking his sort of less cool side of things, whereas Andrew was very cool and very sort of contained, Holland said. But then with Andrew, I thought his Spider-Man was fantastic. I thought when he was in that suit, I thought he really came to life, and so there are two things I am taking from both people. For me, its just making sure I feel like a kid on set, and really be the kid that everyone wants to be, and just have fun with it, and see a superhero really enjoy having his powers.
I mean, if that's what we got with Civil War then this isn't be good for me until the inevitable Uncle Ben stuff.
