How Big Is Spider-Man's Role In Avengers: Infinity War?

With production continuing onAvengers: Infinity War, Marvel is also getting ready for the release ofSpider-Man: Homecoming. WithTom Hollandconfirmed to return forInfinity War, fans are wondering how big (or small) his role may be. Thankfully, Kevin Feige recently shed some light on how much fans will see of Spidey inAvengers: Infinity War, especially considering that there are upwards of 67 characters in this massive superhero adventure. When asked how large Tom Holland’s role inAvengers: Infinity Waris, Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige had this to say.

“I think it might feel bigger a little bit because ofHomecomingand because of what people know from it, but it’s about on par with (Civil War).”

We first got a glimpse of this new Peter Parker (Tom Holland) inCaptain America: Civil War, when Tony Stark paid a surprise visit to the house he shares with hisAunt May(Marisa Tomei), to recruit him to join Team Iron Man. Spidey only appeared in two scenes, most prominently the epic airport battle, but he was also featured in one of the post-credit scenes, where Peter is given a Spidey hologram by Stark.Spider-Man: Homecomingis set in the aftermath ofCaptain America: Civil War, although it hasn’t been confirmed how much time will have passed betweenSpider-Man: HomecomingandAvengers: Infinity War. Kevin Feige was also asked byFandangoif other cast members fromSpider-Man: Homecomingwill surface inAvengers: Infinity War. Here’s what he had to say below.

“There’s a pretty big crew already in those movies, but you might keep an eye out.”

Producer Amy Pascal also teased, “Yeah, you never know,” hinting that we may in fact see some of theSpider-Man: Homecomingcharacters inAvengers: Infinity War. One of these characters could be Peter Parker’s best friendNed Leeds, who is the only one who knows about Peter Parker’s secret identity asSpider-Man. Since we don’t know howSpider-Man: Homecomingmay connect toAvengers: Infinity War, it’s nearly impossible to speculate who could reprise theirSpider-Man: Homecomingrole forAvengers: Infinity War.

It’s also possible thatSpider-Manmay have an even bigger role inAvengers 4, which will start filming later this year after a brief break following the production wrap onAvengers: Infinity War. There has been speculation that several of the main characters who have been around since Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe may be killed off, which could pave the way for younger heroes like Peter Parker to step up and take down Thanos once and for all. Still, that has yet to be confirmed, and Marvel hasn’t even revealed the title forAvengers 4yet, since it will be a spoiler forAvengers: Infinity War. While we have almost a full year to wait forInfinity War,Spider-Man: Homecomingwill hit theaters on July 7. Hopefully we’ll find out about how Spider-Ma fits into theAvengers: Infinity Warstory soon.
