It was reported recently that Spider-Man: Homecoming may feature other MCU characters, and many suspected that Tony Stark might be the most apt fit. Well, we now have some tacit confirmation that he will likely appear in the film.

Jimmy Kimmel straight-up asked Downey about it when he appeared on his show during the Civil War press tour this past week, and Downey replied, "Perhaps I will. I don’t have a contract yet!" So, the script has probably been written with Stark in mind, there have definitely been discussions, and it's just a case of getting the dotted line signed.

Short of Marvel low-balling Downey on the deal, this one seems dead-cert. Putting Stark in a supporting role would be an extremely smart move to ensure the financial buoyancy of the Spider-Man brand moving forward, especially if he briefly busts out the Iron Man armour to help his young comrade out.
