SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Will Continue to Develop Peter Parker and Tony Stark's Relationship
One of the most amusing aspects of Captain America: Civil War is when Tony Stark and Peter Parker meet for the first time. The way it all plays out is pretty awesome, and I'm sure fans will be very happy with how it's handled. The two characters definitely have a fun relationship, and after seeing Civil War, I was hoping that we'd get to see that relationship continue to grow.
Last month we learned that Robert Downey Jr. would be reprising his role as Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Homecoming. We didn't really know how big of a part he would play in the film, but apparently it will be big enough to continue to grow the relationship between Iron Man and Spider-Man.
During an interview with IGN, directors Joe and Anthony Russo are asked if we would see that relationship will continue in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and they said "absolutely, it's going to." Joe went on to give two reasons of what's fun and different about this new interpretation of Spider-Man:
"One is we cast an actor who is very close in age to a high schooler. Tom is really the first young actor to portray the part, and he has an incredible vulnerability and a certain confidence married together that create this very youthful and exciting character.
"Two, the other thing that’s compelling is he’s now in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he can interact with the characters in that universe. I think that this mentor relationship that Tony has developed with Peter Parker is probably one of the most interesting things the universe has moving forward.”
When you watch Captain America: Civil War, you'll get to see for yourself how strong and fun the chemistry is between Tom Holland and Downey Jr. It's exciting to learn that the characters they play in the MCU are going to get to spend some more time together and that we'll get to see this relationship grow.
Civil War comes out this week and Homecoming is scheduled to hit theaters on July 7th, 2017.
