Ever since theCaptain America: Civil Wartrailer revealed Spider-Man and we lost our minds we’ve been curious what we will see from him in the film, and we got a new look with the release of anew TV Spotthat features more Spider-Man (Tom Holland). While it is exciting to see Spidey in action and his “You have a metal arm? That is awesome, dude!” line was great, I have to hope they’re not giving away his best moments in promotional material.
If you need something more to look at there were alsoover 50 images releasedfrom the film, and if you ever wondered what Vision (Paul Bettany) looks like in regular people clothes then you must see these images.
