Robert Downey Jr. Joins 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Marvel's Shell-head is looking to join Marvel's Web-head.
It looks like the team-up of Spider-Man and Iron Man seen in Captain America: Civil Warwon’t be the duo’s last.
Robert Downey Jr., who plays the red and gold-armored Marvel character, has closed a deal to join the cast ofSpider-Man: Homecoming, Marvel and Sony’s reboot of the web-crawling superhero, sources tell THR.
Tom Holland will star as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and is making his debut as the character in Civil War (and already garnering praise for his take on the role).
The movie establishes a key relationship between Tony Stark/Iron Man and Parker and Homecoming will continue that thread.
Homecoming has been casting up ahead of its June start of production. Marisa Tomei will play Aunt May, while Zendaya is one of the female leads. Tony Revolori, who starred opposite Ralph Fiennes in The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Laura Harrier, who appeared in the soap opera One Life to Live, are also boarding the project.
Sony has held the rights to Spider-Man since the 1990s but its recent outings with the character proved unpopular with fans and critics, despite relatively strong box office. Meanwhile, Marvel built itself up as a movie studio, requiring the rights of many of the characters it had licensed out in the 1990s, and then was bought by Disney. Spider-Man was one of a handful that eluded them.
Last year, Sony execs invited Marvel to come in and handle the character, in an effort to restore him to his former glory. One of the ways Marvel is doing that is by introducing Holland as Spider-Man in Civil War before he goes on to his own movie series.
But with Downey’s boarding, it appears that Marvel will continue to keep Spider-Man close not just creatively but also literally; Tony Stark/Iron Man appearing in Homecoming keeps the Sony’s movies strongly tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Downey and his industrialist hero have been cornerstones of Marvel’s film slate even though unlike his other co-stars he has not signed the studio’s complicated multi-pic deals. His last renegotiation included him appearing in Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2, as well as Civil War.
His appearance in Homecoming required another round of talks and according to sources, a “hefty” deal. It is unclear whether that is to appear in just Homecoming or subsequent installments.
Any future parties at the tower you're on the Vip listTeam Ironman of course, fukk Bucky
Only superhero who can make that claim in 2016.He is #1 superhero right now in terms of movies

Be "shoe horned" when you are apart of an extended cinematic universe, brehs. You acting like he's going to be helping the fish in Finding Dory and flying ships in Rogue One How you going to be shoe horned in a universe about your character
I know lol. Some solos and team movies and civil war which is 50% about his character, but he's getting shoe horned
Batman is the only thing DC can get right what is he talking about
Ironman almost literally saved Marvel's ass, he deserves his props. Plus Downey just kills that shyt he was born for Tony Stark. PLUS him being a part of Spiderman's journey fits with the comics.
He's basically become Marvel's Batman, not the OG that started it but taking the top spot in the public's eye.
its all coming full circle@Ironman started the Marvel film/TV universe and the whole thing with Iron Man (2008) but now he's supposedly a "shoehorned" character
Heck in the actual universe itself Stark Sr started this whole thing too. Father of Tony, founder of SHIELD and the creator of Captain America, his costume and shield. Stark Jr now doing it with The Avengers and Spider-Man .This really is generational thing like with the Corleone's .

I wish they'd keep these stories quit until AFTER the next movie comes out. Kills the suspense when a hero is in a life or death situation to me.
By his god damn self...Only superhero who can make that claim in 2016.
this is trueBatman in another film: "Why they always use Batman"
Iron Man in another film: "Smart move to get Iron Man in there"
Stans stay exposing themselves.
I like chris as cap gonna b hard to replace himThe difference is. Batman as a character is what fascinates people. Not the actor.
RDJ IS IRONMAN.
Cap
Thor
Hulk
Hawkeye
Spidey
WM

can all be replaced and we'll be cool. Ironman (and to a lesser extent black widow) RDJ and Scarlett MADE those characters.
