Watch: the brand new trailer for Captain America: Civil War is here, and so is Spider-Man

On Thursday, Marvel released a new official trailer for Captain America: Civil War. And the rumors are true: Spider-Man is in it … for a split second:

In an interesting twist, Spider-Man (Tom Holland) seems to have joined Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) side instead of Captain America's (Chris Evans). As you may recall, the last trailer for Civil War, released in November, offered a glorious preview of an all-out brawl between the two, likely spurred by their differing opinions on the regulation of superheroes. It's interesting an interesting choice for Spider-Man; you'd think a man who operates with a mask probably want to keep the superhero business as unchecked as possible.

But to be clear, we still don't know how all of these details will fall into place.

For a long time, we've known Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man) and Steve Rogers (a.k.a. Captain America) will be at odds in Civil War. This trailer, and the one that preceded it, sheds some new light on their conflict: Tony wants to keep people safe, and Steve wants to keep people free. And their fellow superheroes — the Avengers — all have personal reasons for why they do or do not want their superhero-ing regulated.

The new trailer makes all of that a little more clear. The Avengers are shown all the destruction they've caused (in previous movies), and then the trailer segues into Tony saying, "We need to be put in check. Whatever form that takes, I'm game."

But Steve is quick to counter him: "I know we're not perfect, but the safest hands are still our own," he says.

Then we see the rest of the Avengers, including Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) pick their sides and fall in line. There are battles galore. Punches are thrown. Scarlet Witch looks crazy and powerful.

And yes, Spider-Man shows up.

Captain America: Civil War hits theaters on May 6, 2016.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
