Thanks to Chris Evans' loose lips, we have already had two separate hints that Captain America could be coming out of hiding to turn up in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

First, he and Robert Downey Jr appeared on Jimmy Kimmel where RDJ said ""We are going to shoot in Atlanta again, you and I" - Atlanta being the setting for the Homecoming set, of course.

And then Evans spoke to MTV, and was asked which Marvel Phase 3 movies he thought he might turn up in:

"Guardians would be fun wouldn't it? I mean, but that's very outer spacey. Cap's more of an earthbound guy. Maybe the next Spider-Man [movie]. You know those are going to be fantastic and I think Tom's such a great actor so that might be a fun one to pop up in."

Tom Holland too told MTV, that he'd like to see Cap appear:

"I really like Iron Man, he’s obviously my favorite. I’d like Cap to show up at some point. I think that would be really cool if he did."

Rating: 7/10

It's a tough one to call. Obviously in the Civil War comics arc (which will still affect the rest of Phase 3 despite that film being over and done with), Spider-Man was a key tactical objective, whose defection was a turning point in the War. It would make sense in that respect for Cap to try and convince Spidey to declare for him while the ideological war is still raging - even if it only amounts to a stinger cameo.

But then Spider-Man needs his own room to breathe and having Tony Stark involved already might prove to be enough of an Avengers link for Kevin Feige.
