Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will swing by for 'Avengers 4'
Here's hoping you liked Tom Holland as Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War, because you're going to be seeing a lot of him over the next few years.
Marvel Studios has officially confirmed Spider-Man will return for Avengers 4, due out in 2019.
Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, dropped the news during a recent press event, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Civil War and Infinity War directors Anthony and Joe Russo are expected to return to the helm for Avengers 4. Though it's too early to say exactly which Marvel Cinematic Universe characters will appear, the safe guess is probably "most of them."
Spidey's appearance in Avengers 4 will come after his debut in 2016's Civil War, with his first solo outing this summer in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and his return next year in Avengers: Infinity War.
Avengers 4 (which will surely get a title change by the time it hits theaters) is scheduled for May 3, 2019. It'll be followed two months later by the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel, due out July 5, 2019.
And after that? "That's as far as it goes for now," said Feige.
While he didn't say what else might be on the horizon for Spidey, we can be confident those plans don't include the sorta-spinoffs currently in the works at Sony – like the Venom standalone or the Black Cat / Silver Sable team-up.
Feige clarified that Marvel Studios is not involved in those projects. "We had a very particular plan about Spidey himself," he said.
