10 MCU Actors Who Appeared In Character Outside The Movies

9. Peter Parker And Happy Hogan Hang Out

Iron Man was a big part of Spider-Man: Homecoming - largely to drive up interest in the franchise again after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 bombed - as was his right-hand man, Happy Hogan. What no one expected was his relationship with Peter Parker to become so endearing, and the start of that was arguably in this commercial for ABC's NBA Finals.

Surprisingly, Robert Downey Jr. also appears in this promo, but the bulk of it revolves around Peter arriving at Avengers Tower and being tasked with running an errand by Happy. Magic Johnson, Tim Duncan, DJ Khaled, and even the late, great Stan Lee show up too, making this one of the most star-studded efforts on this list.

It's hard to say where this is supposed to fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe's continuity (you could probably struggle to make it fit between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Homecoming), but that shouldn't distract from just how much fun it is.

Perhaps this is where Marvel Studios realised how much chemistry Tom Holland and Jon Favreau have?
