According to Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that Marvel Studios characters will be appearing in the untitled Spider-Man film, which is set to be released on July 7th, 2017. Given that Spider-Man is set to make an appearance in the Marvel Studios film Captain America: Civil War, it seems only fair that some of these characters would join Spidey in his solo ventures.

Feige said, "He is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth."

BILLY ELLIOT star Tom Holland will play Spider-Man in the upcoming film.
