Peter Parker will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: Homecoming and in case the marketing campaign for the film hadn’t tipped you off, Tony Stark/Iron Man will be making an appearance as well.

On a featurette that aired on the Disney Channel, Robert Downey Jr. discussed his experience working on the highly anticipated film and explained why it reminded him of his time working on the first Iron Man film.

“Being back with Tom Holland and Jon Favreau, it’s just crazy and it reminded me of that kind of first Iron Man experience.”

Robert Downey Jr. added that while Tony may be a significant figure in the MCU, he is there to be a supporting player for Peter Parker.

“It’s a straight forward Spider-Man movie. There’s always opportunities for heavy-hitters dropping in to kind of support him.”

Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Homecoming stars Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Michael Chernus, Kenneth Choi, Hannibal Buress, Martin Starr, Michael Barbieri, Angourie Rice, Abraham Attah, Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. The film will be released in theaters on July 7, 2017.
