New Spider-Man Drops In For New "Captain America: Civil War" Trailer

The new Spider-Man finally makes his debut in the latest trailer for “Captain America: Civil War.”

Iron Man calls on Spidey (or “Underoos,” as he hilariously refers to him), who’s evidently on his team, to use his web powers to steal Captain America’s shield and bind his arms.

“Hey, everyone,” Tom Holland’s character then says, perched on a car roof, in the final moments of the second trailer.

In theaters May 6, the action flick pits Captain America (Chris Evans) against Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).

Looks like the whole Avengers team makes an appearance throughout the film.

"Captain America: Winter Soldier" rocked, and this looks just as good. I applaud Marvel for keeping their super hero universe so intertwined across so many movies.

The new movie hits theaters May 6, 2016.

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" breaks box office record for April

Give it up for Chris Evans and company, as the new Marvel flick Captain America: The Winter Soldier flexed some super-hero muscles to break April box office records with a $93 million debut in the US.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Winning over critics and moviegoers alike, Marvel and Disney's Captain America: The Winter Soldier grossed $37 million from 3,938 theaters on Friday, the biggest day ever for the month of April, not accounting for inflation. The superhero sequel is expected to earn $93 million-plus for the weekend, also an April best.

Overseas, where it opened ahead of its North American launch, the $170 million tentpole has already earned $132.2 million and should finish Sunday with a whopping global total of $270 million or more -- only $100 million behind the $370.6 million earned by Captain America: The First Avenger in its entire run. So far, Captain America 2 is pacing 40 percent ahead of the first film, which debuted in May 2011.

Coming in at number two, the biblical epic Noah fell nearly 60% in it's second weekend.
