Many actors have been confirmed for the movie – either by the studio or by themselves – but Holland has been absent from all press material.

According to a new interview with Holland, he has announced his confirmation for the movie.
The actor spoke with Italian magazine L’Uomo Vogue, where he seemed to tell the interviewer that he would be taking part in the film. The interview has only been published in print so far, but the Tom Holland Italy Twitter account posted a picture of some of the interview. Check it out: here.
On the third column, Holland talks about Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans convincing the Marvel producers that Holland could hold his own through three movies over the next four years.
Those movies being Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Avengers: Infinity War. Below, we’ve translated the interview text into English. Some of the verbage gets jumbled in the translation, but its his confirmation here that matters.
Take a look!
“The approval for the role in Spider-Man arrives personally also by Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans ‘They who convinced the Marvel: the producers wanted to be sure that I was the right person before entrusting three films over the next four years, including Avengers: Infinity War. ‘”
There you have it, from the mouth of the Spider himself – Spider-Man will be joining the Avengers for the first time!
