Jon Favreau to join Robert Downey Jr. in Spider-Man: Homecoming

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

In addition to directing both IRON MAN and IRON MAN 2, Jon Favreau also made an appearance as Happy Hogan in each of the IRON MAN flicks, so I guess you could say that where wherever Tony Stark goes, Happy Hogan follows…unless it's an AVENGERS or CAPTAIN AMERICA film, so I suppose it would be more accurate to say that wherever Tony Stark Goes, Happy Hogan occasionally follows.

Variety reports that Jon Favreau will be following Robert Downey Jr. over to the set of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING where he'll be reprising his role as the head of security for Stark Industries. The last time we saw Mr. Hogan was in IRON MAN 3 where he was enjoying a little Downton Abbey after waking up from a coma, so it will be nice to check in with him after his three year absence. Production on Jon Watts' SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING has been underway in Atlanta since June and will see Peter Parker (Tom Holland) attempting to balance his high-school life with his life as Spider-Man.

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING will hit theaters on July 7, 2017 and Favreau's THE JUNGLE BOOK was released on Blu-ray/DVD earlier this week.
