After making a ‘Spectacular’ debut in last years Captain America: Civil War, it was pretty much assumed that Spider-Man would be teaming up with the heroes again to take on the Mad Titan, Thanos, in Avengers: Infinity War.
Luckily, we now have confirmation that everybody’s favorite wallcrawler will appear in the three-quel when it hits theatres next year. Read on to find out more.
The idea that he wouldn’t be appearing came about when a leaked cast list failed to include the character, currently played by Tom Holland. We finally have confirmation now thanks an interview the actor did with Italian magazine, L’Uomo Vogue, which was picked up via an Italian Fan page who posted it to Twitter.

Through a rough translation, Holland explains:
“The approval for the role in Spider-Man arrives personally also by Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans ‘They who convinced the Marvel: the producers wanted to be sure that I was the right person before entrusting three films over the next four years, including Avengers: Infinity War.”
Given that Avengers: Infinity War is set to include nearly every character the MCU has introduced so far, including Doctor Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy aswell as introducing us to the newest hero, Captain Marvel, it’s difficult to say just how extensive his role is set to be in the film. One thing is for sure, they’ll need everybody they can get to take on Thanos, especially once he gets hold of the Infinity Gauntlet.
