Now an interesting bit of speculation suggests that Captain America and Iron Man might return the favor to their young friend, popping up in the Spider-Man solo outing due out in 2017. More on the Captain America and Iron Man in Spider-Man rumor after the jump.
Downey and Evans didn’t name the movie they’d be filming together in Atlanta, but Holland has confirmed in the past that Spider-Man will shoot there. “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,” he told Coming Soon. “We probably will end up [in New York] for one week or two.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is the only other Marvel movie currently confirmed to shoot in Atlanta, and director James Gunn has already explicitly ruled out an Iron Man cameo. Both Doctor Strange and Thor: Ragnarok seem to be headed elsewhere (though a brief stop in Atlanta can’t be ruled out). And the other films, including 2018-2019’s Avengers: Infinity War, are probably are too far off to have shooting locations locked in at this time.
Besides that, the new Spider-Man could probably use a boost. Audiences were already burned out on the character the last time Sony attempted a relaunch, 2012’s Amazing Spider-Man. The big selling point of this new reboot is that it’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and getting Iron Man and Captain America to stop by would be a good way to remind audiences of that.
Captain America: Civil War is due out May 6, 2016, and Holland’s solo Spider-Man movie on July 28, 2017.
