The filmmakers catch us up on old friends, build stronger identities for newer ones (Paul Rudd's Ant Man has tricks up his
tiny sleeves) and introduce two significant characters,
Black Panther (played with ferocious dignity by Chadwick Boseman) and a fresh
Spider - Man (played as a genial, awestruck teen by Tom Holland, who actually is a teen).
Window frames benefit from
spider webs and old keys; Frankenstein is actually an old water bottle topped with a painted box; and the
tiny spiders are wine corks painted
black and jabbed onto pipe cleaner legs.
