12 Reasons Spider-Man: Homecoming Is The Best Spidey Movie Ever

4. It's Got Iron Man In It (But Not Too Much)

While many were justifiably worried that Iron Man would end up wrestling Homecoming away from Spider-Man, it's a pleasure to report that this isn't the case at all.

Robert Downey Jr. only appears in the film for a few short scenes peppered throughout its runtime, and so about 90% of the focus remains on Peter.

Downey's presence in such a small capacity definitely adds something to the film without trying to grab the spotlight, and it's actually impressive how restrained Marvel Studios was with using the character.

After all, a proper Iron Man and Spidey team-up movie is probably worth a ton of bank...though they'd need to pay Downey first of course.
