This certainly doesn&#8217;t come as much of a shock, considering that Downey Jr has already been announced as a castmember for the film. But it is a pleasant surprise. The groundwork for the relationship between Stark and Peter Parker\/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) was already laid out in this year&#8217;s <strong>Captain America: Civil War<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Favreau, of course, kicked off the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe by directing 2008&#8217;s <strong>Iron Man<\/strong> and its first sequel. And while he appeared on screen in the Shane Black-directed <strong>Iron Man 3<\/strong>, the actor\/director has been absent from both sides of the camera for the balance of the interconnected superhero franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Director Jon Watts is currently shooting <strong>Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/strong> in Atlanta. The film will co-star Michael Keaton as the villain Vulture, and Marisa Tomei, Tony Revolori, Zendaya, Hannibal Buress, Bokeem Woodbine, Martin Starr, and Donald Glover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/strong> is set for a July 7, 2017 release.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2016\/film\/news\/jon-favreau-spider-man-homecoming-happy-iron-man-1201850442\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Tony Stark&#8217;s right hand man will be showing up to help out the wall crawling superhero as well&#8230;<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2016\/09\/02\/spider-man-homecoming-jon-favreau\/\" title=\"SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Adds Another Marvel Cinematic Universe Regular\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[356,8234],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-39166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-jon-favreau","9":"tag-spider-man-homecoming"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39166"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=39166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
