It seems only fair that if Spider-Man is going to pop up in other Marvel super hero films – making his debut in the MCU once Captain America: Civil War hits cinemas – then another character can return the favour and crash in on his solo film. That seems to very much be on the cards, as an Avenger’s member has hinted that there is a chance of the crossover going down in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
After he dropped in on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (via Squareeyed) the host was very eager to quiz Robert Downey Jr about Marvel’s latest arrival and Tom Holland’s take on the wall crawler.
“He’s fantastic,” he says about the young Brit’s appearance in Civil War, getting us even more excited for his solo film.
When Kimmel brings up the possibility of seeing Iron Man (or even just Tony Stark) in Homecoming, Downey replies with his typical wit “Perhaps I will, we don’t have a contract yet.” We’re taking that as a yes.
Speaking on the comics run of the friendly neighbourhood wall crawler, Downey said that “Growing up, Spider-Man was my whole deal. He was funny, he was cool, he was young.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
