Spider-Man: Homecoming - 11 Things From The Comic You Need To Know

6. The Super Cameos

As the comic begins with all of New York's heroes reappearing after the Beyonder steals them away for his sport, the Avengers - or at least Captain America, Iron Man (well James Rhodes in the suit), Hawkeye, Wasp, Thor, and Spectrum - follow Spider-Man back through the villain's portal back to New York.

Potential for cameos?

How It Would Work In The Film

As everyone should know by now, the Marvel/Sony deal allows the use of Marvel characters in Spider-Man movies as well as the reverse, so there's always going to be potential for MCU-linking cameos. Rumours have suggested that Tony Stark continues as Spidey's mentor (and we could see some fall-out of the "Iron Spider" suit monitoring Spidey's powers as it does in the comics).

According to Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans, they're both due to film in Atlanta (where Spider-Man is being filmed), suggesting they both have cameos in the first stand-alone Spidey movie. Whether Evans will actually be alive at this point remains to be seen.
