Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man makes his Marvel Cinematic Universe return in a Spider-Man 4 theory, and if it turns out to be accurate, Marvel Studios would have one of the franchise’s most emotional projects on its hands.
Marvel’s slate of projects includes several exciting movies and series, with entries like The Fantastic Four, the next two Avengers movies, and Spider-Man 4 drawing the most attention. Given how Tom Holland’s first MCU Spider-Man trilogy is among the franchise’s best, it makes sense that anticipation is high for the return of his version of Peter Parker.
Every single one of Holland’s Spider-Man movies has featured a major role for an MCU character. That is part of the deal Sony and Marvel Studios made so that Holland’s Spider-Man could be part of the MCU while Sony still holds the character’s movie rights. Spider-Man: Homecoming featured Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man as Peter Parker’s mentor, continuing their relationship from Captain America: Civil War.
Due to the hero’s death in Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark was missing from Holland’s other Spider-Man movies. However, an MCU theory shows the perfect way for Iron Man to be part of Spider-Man 4’s story.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a 2021 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The film is directed by Jon Watts, written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Zendaya, Cobie Smulders, Jon Favreau, J. B. Smoove, Jacob Batalon, Martin Starr, Marisa Tomei, and Jason Momoa.
Spider-Man is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. He has been featured in comic books, television shows, films, video games, novels, and plays.
Spider-Man’s secret identity is Peter Benjamin Parker, a teenage high school student and an orphan raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben in New York City after his parents Richard and Mary Parker died in a plane crash. Lee and Ditko had the character deal with the struggles of adolescence and financial issues and gave him many supporting characters, such as Flash Thompson, J. Jonah Jameson, and Harry Osborn; romantic interests Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, and the Black Cat; and enemies such as the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Venom.
In his origin story, Spider-Man gets his superhuman spider-powers and abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider; these include superhuman strength, agility, reflexes, stamina, durability, coordination, and balance, clinging to surfaces and ceilings like a spider, and detecting danger with his precognition ability called “spider-sense”.
He builds wrist-mounted “web-shooter” devices that shoot artificial spider-webs of his own design, which he uses both for fighting and for web-swinging across the city. Peter Parker originally used his powers for his own personal gain, but after his Uncle Ben was killed by a thief that Peter could not stop, he began to use his powers to fight crime by becoming Spider-Man.
When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the protagonist. The Spider-Man comic series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a high school student from Queens, New York, as Spider-Man’s secret identity, whose “self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness” were issues to which young readers could relate.[8]
While Spider-Man was a quintessential sidekick, unlike previous teen heroes Bucky Barnes and Robin, Spider-Man had no superhero mentor like Captain America and Batman; he had learned the lesson for himself that “with great power comes great responsibility”—a line included in a text box in the final panel of the first Spider-Man’s origin story, but later retroactively attributed to the late Uncle Ben Parker.
