The film, which is on track to earn more than $200m overseas this weekend, isn't far behind "Avengers: Age of Ultron" with its opening box office numbers and looks to knock out predecessors like "Iron Man 3" ($160m) and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" ($78 million).

It will also introduce several new characters, like Black Panther. The film also marks Spider-Man's Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
