Last month, when documents from Sony Pictures were being leaked onto the internet during a massive hack, it was revealed that the studio was in talks withMarvelfor a deal that would bringSpider-Maninto the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Marvel was hoping to bring Spidey in forCaptain America: Civil War, the deal ultimately fell through. Although anotherreport from Decemberclaimed Marvel and Sony may still be able to come to some sort of agreement. Today,Latino-Reviewreports that the deal has been finalized, and, while Spider-Manwon’t be seeninCaptain America: Civil War, the beloved superhero will reportedly make his Marvel Studios debut in 2018’sAvengers: Infinity War Part 1. Be warned that there will be plenty of SPOILERS for severalMarvel Phase Threemovies throughout the rest of this story, so read on at your own risk. And remember, none of this is official, as there has been no confirmation from Sony, Marvel or Disney.
Latino-Review shuts down a recent rumor that eitherAndrew GarfieldorTobey Maguiremay be coming back for an alleged Sony project entitledAmazing Vs. Spider-Man, instead revealing thatSpider-Manwill be played by a new actor in Avengers: Infinity War Part 1. The site also confirms along-standing rumorthat, at the end ofAvengers: Age of Ultron, there will be a new team ofAvengers, lead by Captain America (Chris Evans), while adding that they “think” Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) will end up somewhere in space, although that isn’t confirmed.Captain America: Civil Warwill supposedly reveals that The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) killed Howard Stark, leading to Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Cap fighting, ending with a big cliffhanger where Tony Stark’s whereabouts remain unknown, and Captain America has been killed by Crossbones (Frank Grillo). A lot of these story details sound like speculation onLatino-Review, it should be noted.
By the time Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 rolls around, Cap will be dead, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) will be imprisoned afterThor: Ragnarokand Spider-Man will be introduced. Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 will be “the first true test” of the new Avengers, although there isn’t a confirmed list of who will be a part of this lineup. The site did list a number of potential candidates, including Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Vision (Paul Bettany), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Wasp, Captain Marvel, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jewel/Power Woman, any of the New Inhumans, any of the classic Inhumans, any of the Guardians of the Galaxy, any Cosmic Marvel characters Guardians chooses to send to Earth and Spider-Man. Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 won’t include any of the Avengers from Phase 1 and Phase 2, because they will all return inAvengers: Infinity War Part 2, even the deceased Captain America.
