Sources tell THR that a yet-to-be determined Marvel character will make an appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming 2, but it won’t be Iron Man.
With the rights of the character owned by Sony Pictures and the majority of Marvel characters the property of Marvel Studios and Disney, the adventures of Spider-Man and characters like Iron Man and Captain America seemed like a pipe dream until Sony and Disney announced a deal in 2015 that allowed Spider-Man was joining the MCU.
A new report indicates that Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man will not be back for the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Of course, fans shouldn’t mourn too much over the fact that Downey won’t be appearing in Spider-Man Homecoming 2, since Spidey, Iron Man and his Avengers pals will all be reuniting in Avengers: Infinity War.
