Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Entertainment, revealed new details about the Avengers' Spider-Man character in the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War" movie during a recent interview in which he also praised Sam Raimi and Marc Webb's renditions of the superhero.

"I think they did a lot of things really, really right. In particular the look of Spider-Man and the emotion of Spider-Man and the women in his life," Feige said during an interview promoting the release of "Avengers: Age of Ultron."

"But, I think there are a lot of things they haven't done, which is A) his interactions with other heroes in the universe because that was not possible and also exploring more the notion, as the comics did for many, many years, as Ultimate Spider-Man did for 10 years, [of] a much younger version of Spider-Man than we've seen in the movies. They get him in and out of high school really fast."

Feige added that the new Spider-Man would be charming and funny like all the characters Marvel has created.

"The two previous film series didn't much show the notion that he is very, very funny and very, very witty when he's in that costume, swinging around. Not as a standup comedian, obviously, but as almost his nervous energy, bothering the criminals with banter as much as with his powers. That's something that I think we're excited to explore," Feige said.

Marvel has not announced a standalone "Spider-Man" film or who will take over the character. However, the studio did announce that the character will be younger than the previous incarnations portrayed by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. Asa Butterfield ("Hugo") is currently the front-runner to play the character. Other actors in the running are Tom Holland ("The Impossible") and Liam James ("The Way Way Back").

"Captain America: Civil War" will be released on May 6, 2016.
