So, we’re pretty sure Spider-Man: Homecoming is getting a sequel; heck, if Marvel plays it right, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man could be a successful, Harry Potter-like franchise that could track the progress of a growing and maturing Peter Parker. However, we weren’t sure if the budding, spider-themed teen would have anything to do with Avengers: Infinity War, the next Avengers epic dealing with a large-scale threat that may require a basket-full of the MCU’s currently active super-people. Well, thanks to the Tom Holland Italia Twitter account, it seems Spider-Man’s once nebulous appearance in Avengers: Infinity War has been confirmed.
According to the following two tweets, Holland partook of an interview with Vogue magazine and confirmed Spider-Man’s appearance. Yes, it’s in Italian, but the Twitter user took the most informative bit and translated it for us. OBSERVE!

Spider-Man’s role was limited in Marvel Comics’ classic story arc, The Infinity Gauntlet, but perhaps he’ll feature more prominently in the cinematic translation of writer Jim Starlin’s seminal cosmic work.
Debuting July 7, 2017 and directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Homecoming stars Tom Holland, Marisa Tomei, Robert Downey Junior, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Logan Marshall-Green, Michael Barbieri, Hannibal Buress, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, and Michael Keaton.
