Will Tom Holland Swing Into Avengers: Doomsday? Everything We Know About Spidey’s Return
Marvel Studios has publicly addressed the persistent rumor that Tom Holland has a cameo in Avengers: Doomsday, responding to the speculation directly.
While promoting Spider- Man: Brand New Day in June, Tom Holland let his guard down just enough to send Marvel fans into overdrive. In a sit-down with Spanish outlet Cinemania, he didn’t name a project outright, but he strongly hinted he expects to be on an Avengers set sometime this year — as Marvel continues additional filming on Avengers: Doomsday and gears up Avengers: Secret Wars for the fall.
“I have a reputation for spoiling certain things, and I think the studios are keeping me from the juicy details.”
“But when I do get to grace that set, I'm so curious — you know, what does that mean for Peter? And how does that work? I'm very excited about... whatever it is they're doing,”
Holland didn’t specify which film he was referring to, but the phrasing — “grace that set” — was enough for fans to read it as a clue that Spider-Man could swing through Doomsday, even briefly.
Missing from the cast sheet
Back in March 2025 , Marvel revealed a 27-person cast for Avengers: Doomsday — and Holland wasn’t on it. That absence fueled theories that Marvel might be hiding a cameo, especially with the multiverse making surprise crossovers fair game.
At the same time, several well-known industry tipsters had maintained that Spidey would sit this one out:
- Daniel Richtman (DanielRPK)
- Jeff Sneider (The Insneider)
- Alex Perez (The Cosmic Circus)
Their read for months has been consistent: no Spider-Man in Doomsday, with Holland instead playing a bigger role in Avengers: Secret Wars. Holland’s new comments don’t overturn that, but they do muddy the waters about whether he might at least pop in for Doomsday.
Where things stand
Marvel is famously secretive, and Holland’s careful wording leaves room for multiple possibilities — a quick cameo in Doomsday, a larger presence in Secret Wars, or both. Meanwhile, Sadie Sink , introduced to the MCU in Brand New Day, is already set for Secret Wars, adding to the sense that Spider-Man stories are threading directly into that film.
For now, the only firm timeline is the production one: further filming is underway on Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled to start filming this autumn.
