Let’s start with a clear, direct, and unambiguous proclamation that this article obviously contains major spoilers, so if you haven’t seen Captain America: Civil War and don’t want it ruined for you, do not read on any further!

Tom Holland absolutely KILLS IT as Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, in Captain America: Civil War. Rumors that he gets plenty of screen-time aren’t exaggerated – we really did get to see a lot of him – and he was awesome. It’s not even an exaggeration to say already that he’s definitely the best Spidey yet.
From the moment he first appears on screen as Peter Parker, to his epic fight scenes in costume, he has audiences transfixed and we simply can’t wait to see more of him – and, with that in mind, we’re going to look at the best bits from his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
Here are Spider-Man’s ten best moments in Captain America: Civil War, in the order in which they happened (note that images aren’t available for all of these scenes yet, and the ones that are available aren’t necessarily the best quality)…
Meeting Tony Stark
Tom Holland first appears on screen arriving home, as Peter Parker, to find his Aunt May – played by Marisa Tomei – talking to Robert Downey, Jr.’s Tony Stark in their Queens living room.
Gobsmacked, Parker nervously says hello to Stark, as Stark gives a false reason for being there – he “reminds” Parker of a grant he supposedly applied for and tells him he’s been successful in his application – but we all know the real reason for him being there, which is to recruit him for his Avengers team.
It’s a fun scene, as Stark is blatantly flirting with Parker’s Aunt May (whom Parker actually just calls “May”, incidentally), and it immediately emphasises that this version of Spidey is just an awkward child. Stark then asks if he can have a private chat with Parker, which happens in Parker’s bedroom.
And now, we move on to that very scene.
