Spider-Man: Homecoming Director Talks About The Captain America Cameos

Tom Holland's Peter Parker and Chris Evan's Steve Rogers may not have met on the best of terms when they were forced to exchange quips and blows while fighting for opposing sides in Captain America, however it seems like Captain America is still going to make a few funny cameos in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Even though Captain America's appearance is limited to a few educational videos screened in Peter's high school, fans seem to be getting a kick out of the Avenger training videos – one giving students a lesson about fitness, and another discussing detention.

Now, as Homecoming draws closer to its release date, director Jon Watts reveals in an interview with CinemaBlend that it was actually his idea to have Steve cameo in a series of school videos.

"I think that was my idea, to have the Captain America Fitness Challenge.You know, it's so collaborative. I really don't remember whose idea is what, at this point. But I just remember having the President's Fitness Challenge when I was in elementary school and middle school. You had to do different activities, and at the end of it, I think you got a little pin or a badge. I was like, 'How do we incorporate Captain America into high school?' You would have the Captain America Fitness Challenge .He would be the person teaching you about proper nutrition, and brushing your teeth."

"When we shot those... you talk about feeling like you are filming a documentary? That's what it was like. It was like Captain America showed up. I generated so many of these dumb things, along with one of the other writers. We just wrote -- everyone had ideas for things that Captain America could say [on screen]. So we just put them into a teleprompter, and had Evans stand there and really read through them. It's really funny, because Chris is so not like Captain America in person, but him being Cap and then just reading this stuff totally fresh, in that old costume, was so funny. It was all so very funny. ... There's a very fun improv comedy to all of that. We shot so many more than are in the movie, too. Which will probably be on the Blu-ray someday."

Improv has been a popular comedy format these past few years, and it adds a different kind of levity to the newer Marvel movies. Fans loved the whole mockumentary style promos Taika Waititi made for Thor: Ragnarok and their loving the new training videos for Homecoming as well.

With a series of Captain America school videos outside of Homecoming set for the film's Blu-Ray, fans have something else to look forward to after the movie hits the big screen aside from deleted scenes.

Spider-Man: Homecoming hits the big screen on July 7.
