Kevin Feige Reveals If Spider-Man Will Join The Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel had a massive day yesterday with the reveal of its entire Phase Three movie slate for the Marvel Cinematic Universe through 2019. Of course, speculation and rumors still abound, and one of the more persistent ones involves Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige was asked about the rumors (or fantasy) of the wall crawler joining The Avengers at some point, and Feige left the door cracked open just slightly while more or less stating outright that it's not in the cards. "Anything that wasn't specifically and obviously revealed today is either not true at all, or still rumor until it's worked out," he said, according to Comic Book Movie.
Could it still happen? Sure, but the odds are almost zero. Marvel has so much going on in its Cinematic Universe right now that Spidey honestly wouldn't fit anywhere in the plans they have announced.
And speaking of those plans, here is the full slate of movies, in case you missed it.
