We reported the news last week that Tom Holland had already filmed his scenes for Captain America: Civil War, and with such a huge cast of characters it was always assumed he would have a cameo to set up his solo movie. However a new rumour has emerged to suggest otherwise.
According to Birth.Movies.Death, Tom Holland may have filmed his scenes, but they will be using stunt men and VFX to create a whole fight scene that Spider-Man will be a part of:
How many scenes will Spider-Man be in? I don’t know the exact number, but sources have recently made it clear to me that there’s more Spider-Man in this movie than I expected. Spider-Man doesn’t just swing by and say hi – gets his hands dirty in this Civil War. He fights. And his fight scene might be the one that really gets fandom excited – not because of how top tier the face-off will be, but because of how profoundly dorky and unlike any other big screen superhero fight it will be.
