'Spider-man: Homecoming' News and Updates: The Role Of Iron Man In Marvel Reboot

The recent release of the "Spider-man: Homecoming" trailer sent the internet on a blaze with giddy anticipation over what may become of the third wave of Spiderman franchise movies. With newcomer Tom Holland as the young Spiderman, the movie might prove another addition to the successful franchise.

The main difference between this version and the ones before it is that it shares the same reality as the other Marvel superheroes in the expanded Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the most anticipated characters seemingly locked in as a major player in how "Spider-man: Homecoming" pans out is the consistent appearances of Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr. In the trailer, seems to be playing some sort of mentor role for the young webspinner.

It seems that, after pitting Peter in an all stakes battle between Team Iron Man and Team Cap in the "Civil Wars", he seems to want to compensate him by being some sort of father figure. In the sequences seen in the "Spider-man: Homecoming" trailer, Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony drops Peter off in Queens and sort of gives him advice although not very clearly worded. When Tom Holland's Peter asks him if there are any trials or tests to becoming an Avenger, he Tony Stark gives confusing advice then proceeds to shoo him out of his car.

Another noticeable moment in the trailer is Stark advising Peter to "forget the fying monster guy," referring to The Vulture (played by Michael Keaton.) In another very short split second sequence towards the end, Spidey is seen swinging away across the New York skyline with Iron Man gliding along.

What's obvious is that The Iron Man character is in full use in this part of the franchise where Marvel is playing it safe. The studio is making sure that this little side project can become successful on opening night, and possibly end up just like how they treated the first Iron Man movie. "Spider-man: Homecoming" opens July 7, 2017. Watch the trailer here.
