With the huge news that Marvel has come to terms on a deal with Sony Pictures to incorporate Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are many implications that such a move will have on the entire Phase 3 plans for Marvel. By introducing Spider-Man into Captain America 3: Civil War, Marvel and Sony will be acknowledging the presence of Spider-Man into the larger world of superheroes so established by the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor.
