In 2016, Marvel actors came together for an exceptional crossover in Joe and Anthony Russo’sCaptain America: Civil War. In the film, the team, excluding Thor and Hulk, splits into two under Iron Man and Captain America. This plot point became a lighthearted discussion when the cast of the film attended a European Press Conference for promotions.
The interviewer inquired if everyone ended up on the team they wanted or if they desired to switch.Chris Evansquickly chimed in, joking that he kind of wanted to be on Team Iron Man. However, when the interviewer rephrased the question to ask which Avenger’s powers they would want to switch with, Evans answered that his pick would be Vision. Nevertheless, he clarified that he didn’t want to put on Vision’s makeup.
Paul Bettanywasn’t interested in switching powers with Evans, humorously responding,“I’m okay where I’m”. However, the laughter-inducing moment in the event occurred when the interviewer turned toJeremy Renner. He scoffed at the interviewer and asked,“What?”in the most amusing way, making the entire room burst into laughter. However, he did provide an answer that others least expected. Renner shared (via Flicks And The City):
“Spider-Man. Yeah… I’d do this [pretends to use web shooters on the interviewer] on you. Get out of here [pretends to web Robert Downey Jr.].”
Interestingly,Tom Holland’s Spider-Man made his Marvel debut in theCivil Warmovie. Renner might have jokingly teased his fellowAvengersactors, whom he had been working with since the early 2010s, by naming a character who joined more recently.
