Rumor: Will Captain America And Iron Man Swing By The New ‘Spider-Man’?
It’s no secret thatTom Holland’s Spider-Man will first swing by next year’sCaptain America: Civil War, getting caught up in the battle between Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans). But the question we haven’t really considered yet is who might swing by Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movie.
Now an interesting bit of speculation suggests that Captain America and Iron Man might return the favor to their young friend, popping up in the Spider-Man solo outing due out in 2017. More on the Captain America and Iron Man in Spider-Man rumor after the jump.
ComicBook.compieced together this latest rumor based on various comments made by Downey, Evans, and Holland. You may recall that Downey and Evans were onJimmy Kimmel Livelast week to unveil the firstCaptain America: Civil Wartrailer. During their joint appearance, Downey and Evans good-naturedly complained about shootingCaptain America: Civil Warin Atlanta in July. Then Downey commented to Evans, “By the way, we are going to shoot in Atlanta again, you and I.” Evans responded, “I know, I’m ready, I’m ready.”
Downey and Evans didn’t name the movie they’d be filming together in Atlanta, but Holland has confirmed in the past thatSpider-Manwill shoot there. “We’re shooting in Atlanta for most of it, because they have studios there and I think it’s cheaper to build a New York set than it is to shoot here, because it’s going to be very expensive,” he toldComing Soon. “We probably will end up [in New York] for one week or two.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2is the only other Marvel movie currently confirmed to shoot in Atlanta, and director James Gunn has alreadyexplicitly ruled outan Iron Man cameo. BothDoctor StrangeandThor: Ragnarokseem to beheadedelsewhere(though a brief stop in Atlanta can’t be ruled out). And the other films, including 2018-2019’sAvengers: Infinity War, are probably are too far off to have shooting locations locked in at this time.
Besides that, the newSpider-Mancould probably use a boost. Audiences were already burned out on the character the last time Sony attempted a relaunch, 2012’sAmazing Spider-Man. The big selling point of this new reboot is that it’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and getting Iron Man and Captain America to stop by would be a good way to remind audiences of that.
Captain America: Civil Waris due outMay 6, 2016, and Holland’s soloSpider-Manmovie onJuly 28, 2017.
