We know that Spider-Man will be making his first Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance in Captain America: Civil War, but how exactly young Peter Parker gets embroiled in the conflict between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark remains a mystery.

Geek.com believes they have the answer to that question. Be warned, potential SPOILERS follow.

Here's how Geek.com claims it goes down:

Our source told us is that Tony goes to Peter Parker specifically to recruit him, and to seal the deal, offers him an advanced Spider-suit to fight in — an upgrade from whatever 15-year-old Peter was previously slinging around in. But why would Peter even consider such an offer? "Peter started becoming Spidey because he grew up and idolized Tony," our source revealed. Since Iron Man takes place 10 years before we meet Peter in Civil War, where Peter is 15, that means Peter was five-years-old when Tony broke onto the scene in the original Iron Man, likely dominating the news as Peter grew into a teenager. If the guy you admire and look up to suddenly shows up on your balcony with a sweet piece of tech and says, "hey, let's be bros," are you going to turn him down?

Sounds reasonable enough, but nothing is for certain until the film is released.

Marvel's Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark's surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
