Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are still very much in the dark on Spider-Man’s role in Captain America: Civil War, but a new feature on the movie in Empire claims that he will form a relationship with someone over the course of the film.
The magazine suggests that Spider-Man won’t be introduced in the movie until all characters have chosen sides, which backs-up reports that the character will only have a minor role in the film (though another rumour suggests it will be much larger). We know that Tom Holland, who will take on the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, filmed test scenes with both Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans while auditioning, so it’s up in the air which side the Wall Crawler will be taking.
With a new trailer reportedly on the way soon, we may get our answers before the film comes out in April.

Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
