Maybe Spider-Man will appear in Avengers: Infinity War Part 2?
[dropcap size=small]A[/dropcap]t the beginning of this week it was announced that production for Avengers: Infinity War would begin and as such a casting list was made. The list, which can be found at MovieCastingCall.org, is quite large but there is one important name missing from the list: Tom Holland’s.
“Starring in Avengers: Infinity War is BAFTA Award nominee Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin as Thanos, Saturn Award Winner Chris Pratt as Star Lord / Peter Quill, Teen Choice Awards nominee Sebastian Stan as Bucky, four-time Golden Globe Award nominee Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange, Academy Award winner Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, ALMA Award winner Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Empire Award winner Karen Gillan as Nebula, two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye, two-time Saturn Award nominee Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America, BAFTA Awards nominee Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet, four-time Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon, Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Vin Diesel as Groot, Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man, British Independent Film Awards nominee Benedict Wong as Wong, Action on Film Award winner Dave Bautista as Drax, BAFTA Film Award nominee Paul Bettany as Vision, Santa Barbara International Film Festival Virtuoso Award winner Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa / Black Panther, three-time Academy Award nominee Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / The Hulk, and two-time Academy Award nominee Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man.”
As you can see, Marvel has an immensely large number of actors who will all have roles in Avengers: Infinity War and one possibility is that Marvel just couldn’t afford to fit in Spider-Man with the plot of Infinity War. There is also another possibility which is that Tom Holland won’t appear in Infinity War until Part 2. Evangelline Lilly has already mentioned that she would not be appearing in Infinity War Part 1 but would be appearing in Infinity War Part 2 as the Wasp, so maybe Tom Holland is in the same scenario as her? Until Marvel releases a confirmed list of actors who are set to appear in Infinity War we will have to continue to keep our fingers crossed in hopes of seeing the web-slinging superhero.
Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 will hit theaters May 4, 2018.
