Spider-Man Won't Return In Avengers: Infinity War?

Earlier this week, it was confirmed thatAvengers: Infinity Warwillstart productionon June 24, 2025 at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Marvel Studios still hasn’t confirmed any cast members yet, but it is believed that practically the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe will be returning for this epic adventure. However, it seems that one of the MCU’s new additions won’t be joining the fight,Tom Holland’sSpider-Man, at least according to a new report.

MovieCastingCall.orgrecently put out a casting call, seeking extras, stand-ins and photo-double for the starring actors. While many casting calls include plot details, this one does not, although there is quite the extensive cast list, which confirms that essentially all of the major MCU characters will be present, except forSpider-Man. You may recall thatTom Hollandhimself stated that everything is “up in the air,” in regards to his return inAvengers: Infinity War, although he did also add that “some sort of deal is in the mix.” It seems that may not be the case now, since he is nowhere to be found on this extensive cast list, which you can check out below.

“Starring inAvengers: Infinity Waris BAFTA Award nomineeChris Hemsworthas Thor, Academy Award nomineeJosh BrolinasThanos, Saturn Award WinnerChris Prattas Star Lord / Peter Quill, Teen Choice Awards nomineeSebastian Stanas Bucky, four-time Golden Globe Award nomineeScarlett Johanssonas Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Academy Award nomineeBenedict Cumberbatchas Dr. Stephen Strange, Academy Award winnerBrie Larsonas Carol Danvers /Captain Marvel, ALMA Award winnerZoe Saldanaas Gamora, Empire Award winnerKaren Gillanas Nebula, two-time Academy Award nomineeJeremy Renneras Clint Barton / Hawkeye, two-time Saturn Award nomineeChris Evansas Steve Rogers /Captain America, BAFTA Awards nomineeElizabeth Olsenas Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet, four-time Academy Award nomineeBradley Cooperas Rocket Raccoon, Screen Actors Guild Awards nomineeVin Dieselas Groot, Academy Award nomineeSamuel L.

While none of these cast members are necessarily a surprise, it does confirm previous reports thatCaptain Marveland theGuardians of the Galaxywill be joining the Avengers and the rest of the Marvel universe. It is possible, though, thatSpider-Manwon’t be brought in until theAvengerssequel, which is slated to hit theaters on July 17, 2025. However, both of these movies are expected to film back-to-back, with this casting call revealing that production will actually span the entire year of 2017 for both movies. Still, the exclusion ofSpider-Manin this casting call is quite puzzling.

Tom Holland’sSpider-Manmade his MCU debut in this summer’s epic blockbusterCaptain America: Civil War, where he was recruited to join Team Iron Man. Production recently wrapped onTom Holland’s stand alone Spidey adventureSpider-Man: Homecoming, which will hit theaters on June 06, 2025.Avengers: Infinity Warwill be directed byAnthonyandJoe Russo, who are working from screenplays written byChristopher MarkusandStephen McFeely. With production slated to begin in just over a month, hopefully we’ll have confirmation on the full cast ofAvengers: Infinity Warsoon.
