Downey Jr heaps praise on new Spider-Man

Spider-Man is leaping into the Marvel cinematic universe for the new film, "Captain America: Civil War".

The new movie sees Marvel’s usually friendly superheroes split between maintaining control of their powers or going under government contract, leading to an explosive battle.

In “Civil War,” Chris Evans’s Captain America fights for superheroes to govern themselves and goes head to head with his former ally, Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, who wants the heroes to be governed by the United Nations. Featuring a wide range of characters, including Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye and Anthony Mackie’s Falcon, the movie has been largely well received by the critics so far.

“I just think it’s a really good piece of entertainment and what I really love is if you look at that poster, I mean it’s like 10 or 12 characters deep, I mean I don’t know how they’re keeping all these balls in the air,” Downey Junior said.

The London premiere was held at a large shopping mall called Westfield.

“It’s amazing to be here tonight. I mean, I used to buy jeans from this place; this is where I used to come shopping, and now I am here at a premiere,” Holland said.

Spider-Man is joining Disney’s Marvel cinematic universe as part of a collaborative deal between Walt Disney Co. and Sony Pictures, which owns the rights to Spider-Man. Holland will also be swinging his way into 2017’s standalone film “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

“Captain America: Civil War” is out in international theaters this week and in U.S. theaters May 6.
