Robert Downey Jr. Joins Spider-Man: Homecoming!

The question of who will have creative control over Spider-Man has been an important one. Kevin Feige was asked about the complicated deal between Marvel and Sony and he had this to say: They really are supportive in allowing us to make the creative decisions to make [Spider-Man: Homecoming], but they’ve been great partners. So far so good on that movie.
