It was down to two Brit actors - Asa Butterfield and Tom Holland - but according to Latino Review the decision has been made and the official negotiations have begun: Asa Butterfield is your new Spider-Man, set to make his debut in Captain America: Civil War.

Either would have been a great choice, and I'm glad that Marvel has opted to go with a young Parker. Butterfield is old enough and experienced enough to do the work, but he's also very young looking and will be a strong contrast alongside the more experienced, more adult Avengers. It's a great scenario.

Now the question becomes who guides Spidey through his new MCU adventures. There's a shortlist of directors, and Jonathan Levine has my vote, but the Spider-saga is far from done...
