Robert Downey Jr. To Appear In Spider-man: Homecoming

By

iron-man-3-downey-jrA couple of weeks ago Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige suggested that the deal between Marvel and Sony didn’t just mean Spidey would appear in Captain America: Civil War, but that some of the Marvel characters could make a trip to a standalone Spider-man movie. Now we know at least one person who’ll do that – Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark.

It’s a far cry from when Downey Jr. suggested he might hang up his Iron Man suit after the second Avengers movie, only to sign on for two more Avengers flicks and then Civil War. Now he’s extending things even further with an appearance in Spider-man: Homecoming, according to Variety.

What’s not known though is how big a role it will be. However with reports saying Downey Jr. has great chemistry with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in Civil War it certainly makes sense to bring them back together.

Jon Watts is due to direct Spider-man: Homecoming, which is due out July 2017.

Variety first reported on Keaton’s possible involvement. However, there’s no word on who he will be playing, saying that information is being kept secret.

Tom Holland is set to play Peter Parker/Spider-man, with his take on the character being introduced in the imminent Captain America: Civil War. Marisa Tomei is also onboard as Aunt May, with Zendaya signed up for a mystery role. Jon Watts is directing the film from a script by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.

Spider-Man Stand-alone Movie Will Include Other Marvel Characters

By

captain-america-civil-war-spider-manIt surprised many when it was announced that Marvel and Sony had done a deal that would allows Spider-man to show up in Captain America: Civil War, as well as for Marvel to provide some creative direction for a new stand-alone Spidey movie. What wasn’t clear at the time was whether that would mean any of the Marvel universe character would show up in the Spider-man film.

Now it appears that they will, as EW reports that Marvel head honcho told them that while it will be a Sony movie, other Marvel characters are likely to appear too. He says, “[Spider-Man] is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth.”

However, there’s no news on what characters might show up.

Bringing Spider-man into the Marvel universe seems to be paying off, as in early reports from critics screenings of Civil War, Tom Holland’s take on the web-slinger has come in for particular praise. He’ll also play the character in the stand-alone film, planned for 2017, with Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. Jon Watts will direct.
