Having already seen an early screening for CAPTAIN AMERIC:A CIVIL WAR, you'll certainly fall in love with both Spider-Man and Black Panther. The intro of these two new additions into the Marvel Cinematic Universe will most likely have film professors using Civil War as a teaching example as to how to properly execute intros through another character's tentpole film.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige spoke with Collider and updated the upcoming solo Spider-Man and solo Black Panther movies.
On SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING:
"We’re working very much [together with Sony]. It is a... I don’t know exactly what the credits will be, but it is a Sony Pictures production of a Marvel Studios film. The agreement was that it is very much a Sony Pictures movie. Amy Pascal is co-producing it with us and [Sony Chairman] Tom Rothman is leading the charge for Sony and that we are the creative producers. We are the ones hiring the actor, introducing him in this film, and then working right now on the script and soon to be shooting the actual Spidey film.
"We spend a lot of time as we work on these movies saying, ‘Don’t take it for granted that the audience saw the other the other movies or that the audience is as versed in the comic books as we are.’ We take great pains to give you everything you need to know within the context of whatever movie you’re actually watching. However, we did say, if it’s safe to assume anything, it’s safe to assume that everybody knows how Spider-Man became Spider-Man and what that backstory was. We’ve seen it a number of times now, it’s its own well-known mythology. So we said, let’s reveal that there’s been a Spider-Man in the MCU and we meet him, as you see, in this movie.
"There are events that made Peter who he was, and we’ll certainly allude to those events, but we’re much more focused on his future and how he continues to grow and have a steep learning curve after, certainly, the adventure he had in Civil War on how to be his own hero."
On BLACK PANTHER:
"We have a number of writers on it, including Ryan Coogler who is also directing. He’s working on the draft right now. I think between now and the end of the summer there’ll be more casting announcements. We start filming at the very beginning of next year."
