Finally, here's your first look at Spider-Man in 'Captain America: Civil War'

It was more than a year ago (way back in Feb. 2015) that Marvel and Sony Pictures announced a deal by which the blockbuster superhero Spider-Man could appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- something that was previously impossible due to the way character rights were allocated to different studios in the pre-Avengers days.

And it was back in June of last year that Marvel announced that they had found the webslinger they wanted: Young actor Tom Holland.

But now, finally, we get to see the new Peter Parker in action. Albeit very, very briefly.

In the comic book series that Civil War is based on, Spider-Man plays a pretty significant role. It's unclear how influential the hero will be in the movie adaptation, but at least one thing is consistent: He's siding with Tony Stark/Iron Man when battle lines start to be drawn.

Spider-Man isn't the only high-profile hero making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Civil War. Black Panther (being playing by Chadwick Boseman) also shows up, and he's featured in action quite a bit in this new trailer.
