9 Characters We Want Spider-Man To Team Up With On The Big Screen

he best part about Spider-Man finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe was the chance to see him rub shoulders with the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes for the first time. So far, Marvel has delivered on this promise and then some, with Tom Holland making his spectacular debut as Peter Parker in the middle of the hero-filled Captain America: Civil War. This was then brilliantly followed up with Spider-Man: Homecoming, which heavily featured Iron Man.

As we’re now entering the realms of wish-fulfillment and imagining the walls between the studios breaking down, let’s talk about one cross-franchise crossover we really would love to see but will likely never happen (at least not any time soon): Spider-Man meets Deadpool!

Despite their extreme difference in methods, the wallcrawler and the Merc with the Mouth have always enjoyed a staunch friendship in the comics. On the surface, the pair have a lot in common. Both Peter and Wade are fast-talking, funny guys with a love of red spandex. Just look at how Ryan Reynolds likes to rib Tom Holland on Twitter for a flavour of the characters’ dynamic.

In all likelihood, the best we could hope for here is maybe Holland popping up for a cameo in a future Deadpool movie. He probably wouldn’t be able to play Spidey due to rights complications, but we’re sure the anti-hero would still crack wise about meeting Spider-Man.
