The last two incarnations of Spider-Man have relied heavily on CGI. Both Maguire and Garfield's characters needed the special effects to convince movie watchers that they were the ones swinging through the city on webs and that they were actually as quick and agile as they appeared on screen. So when a news report came out the other day saying that Spider-Man was going to be needing a lot of CGI for his costume in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, this didn't really surprise me. What did surprise me, though, was the reason that was given for the need for the special effects.
Anthony Russo, one of the brothers that are directing the film, sat down with a Brazilian entertainment website at Comic-Con Experience 2015 (CCXP) and the topic of Spider-Man came up, and the fact that there are rumors swirling around that we'll be seeing him in multiple costumes throughout the film. Here's what Russo had to say in reply:
"Well, we researched a lot and do a lot of experiments for all the characters. We did the same with Spider-Man. We knew it had to be someone young, it was very important because we wanted to give this essence to the character, it is something unique in the Marvel Universe. Tom Holland is an amazing Spider-Man, people will love it. It was a very experimental process, placing it with other actors, especially with Downey Jr., we were learning as we did and are very happy with the result. But we are still working on some things, like the uniform. He's not ready because so much will be produced with special effects."
Now, that could all just mean that they are working on some of the fight scenes and that they need to insert a CGI version of him in the sequence to complete the shot, but another theory about his answer has been making some ground. Captain America: Civil War is being loosely based on the comic book mini-series Civil War that was written by Mark Millar. In it, Tony Stark provides Peter Parker with a new red and gold Spider-Man suit. Is this the suit that we will be seeing in the movie? Some people are thinking that it is. This may also be the reason why we haven't seen Spider-Man in any of the trailers that have been released. They may be wanting to keep his look a secret until the movie's release. Captain America: Civil War hits theaters May 6, 2016, and the stand-alone Spider-Man movie will be released July 28, 2017.
