Spider-Man’s Identity Will Be a Secret in the MCU and Other Heroes Might Join Him in His Solo Film

The true identity of the superheroes in the MCU has never been an issue with Marvel Studios. When Tony Stark let the world know who he was at the end of Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, it was made clear that there was no keeping it a secret. Marvel hasn’t really dealt with any of their superheroes trying to keep their true identity a secret. They are just kind of out in the world kicking ass. 

That’s all going to change when Spider-Man enters the picture. His real identity will be kept a secret. While talking to SHH, Tom Holland talked about what he thinks makes his character interesting:

"I think one of the most interesting things about Peter Parker for us is that he’s the only person in the MCU now that has a secret identity, so we all know who everyone else is. I think it’s quite interesting to go back to that hiding behind a mask."

That really will kind of bring a cool dynamic into the MCU that we haven’t really seen. I’m really happy they are doing that. Spider-Man is one of those characters that needs his secret identity. 

My question is, will the Avengers team know that Spider-Man is Peter Parker? Or will he keep it a secret from them as well? I imagine they’d have to know, but we’ll see how it plays out.

Now, there’s another matter of business that I’d like to point out, and it includes the possibility of Iron Man and Captain America appearing in the Spider-Man’s solo film. Holland says in the interview that they will be shooting the film in Atlanta:

"We’re shooting in Atlanta for most of it, because they have studios there and I think it’s cheaper to build a New York set than it is to shoot here, because it’s going to be very expensive. We probably will end up here (in New York) for one week or two." 

Then in a separate interview with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans while on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Evans complained about how hot it was in Atlanta while shooting Captain America: Civil War. That’s when Downey Jr. chimed in and said this:

“By the way, we are going to shoot in Atlanta again, you and I.” 

Evan’s added:

“I know, I’m ready, I’m ready.”

The only two Marvel films shooting in Atlanta in the near future are Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man’s solo movie. We already know that they aren’t going to show up in Guardians of the Galaxy, but there is a chance they could be talking about Avengers: Infinity War. The problem with that is that movie is way too far off, and filming locations have yet to be solidified. 

It would make sense to see Iron Man and Cap show up in Spider-Man. Including them or any of the other Avengers character would basically guarantee the Spider-Man film would be a huge success and let general audiences know that Spider-Man is now definitely part of the MCU. You’d be surprised by how many people aren’t aware that this whole Spider-Man crossover thing is happening. 

Spider-Man is being directed by Jon Watts and is scheduled to be released on July 28th, 2017.
