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

A 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.
