Captain America: Civil War
Here ’s the real reason why Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr. ) recruit Spider - Man ( Tom Holland ) for Team Iron Man inCaptain America : Civil War . It ’s been several years since Peter Parker ’s introduction to the MCU and since then , he has fail through quite a lot . Much of his discharge in the franchise has been instigated by his connection with Stark as Marvel Studios really lean on developing their dynamic after they met . That said , the start of their relationship has inspired argumentation : specifically on why Spider - Man appears when he does .
The instauration ofthe Sokovia Accords inCivil Warresulted in the Avengers splitting up into two factions — Team Iron Man , who favor signing the deal , believing that they need external oversight ( or at least accountability ) and Team Captain America who turn away to , argue that it ’s best to have autonomy . Outnumbered and with the pressure from General Thunderbolt Ross ( William Hurt ) to bring in Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ) and his team who went rascal , Tony sought the help of young Peter Parker , efficaciously including him in the dispute .

As seamless as his introduction was , not to mention the bully entry at the beginning of the airport conflict in Germany , the debut of theMCU ’s Spider - Manwas middling controversial . Some questioned Tony ’s decision to enter a teenager who does n’t really have any knowledge of what ’s fall out in his conflict with Steve inCivil War . That said , the hotshot billionaire may have had a reason that justifies his actions .
Iron Man ’s conclusion to postulate Peter stem from his complicated relationship with Captain America . When this issue was raised at theCivil Warpress conference , theatre director Joe Russo explainedthat there were two connect reasons why Tony specifically sought Spider - Man for his team . Firstly , he did n’t want to lose the fight with Steve because Tony did n’t like losing , and at that point in his lifetime , he did believe that superheroes needed some limitations after what happened inAvengers : Age of Ultron . Secondly , while Tony want to catch Team Captain America , he did n’t desire to smart any of them .
Spider - Man being the"greatest live non - deadly weapon"as he gathered from the footage he had of the Queens - native proved to be perfect for his agenda . By bring Peter in , he increased his chance of bring Captain America and his team in but without the intention of actually ache any of them . At the closing of the Clarence Day , Tony want the Avengers back entire especially with the nagging touch sensation that something freehanded was coming , which he was ultimately right about as proven inAvengers : Infinity Warwith the arrival ofThanos ( Josh Brolin ) . Tony enunciate this himself in his first encounter with Steve before Spider - Man even made an entrance . He invoke to the Super Soldier to come with them because of their existing relationship . Unfortunately , Captain America was also set on his perspective when it came to the Sokovia Accord , much more so at that here and now after learn about HYDRA ’s secret Super Soldier program from Bucky ( Sebastian Stan ) .
It may have taken a while before Tony fully accepted being a wise man to Peter , but it was well-defined that he felt up responsible for the young hero from the get - go . He provided him with an upgraded suit and recount him to keep a length and not get himself injure during theCaptain America : Civil Warairport battle . His genuine affection for Peter only increased as they spent more time together — so much so thatIron Man was uncoerced to lay on the line his lifetime just to bring in Spider - Man back inAvengers : Endgame .
