In an interview with The Radio Times, actress Jenny Agutter (who has a small role in The Avengers as a "council member") apparently let slip the fact that she had spotted Spider-Man on set during filming. Here is that excerpt in case you missed it:
"I’m sworn to secrecy! I wasn’t allowed a script until I got there, and when I did, I felt like a complete child being on big sets and a huge parking lot full of Winnebagos." She does let slip that two of these housed Spider-Man and Iron Man; we suspect Agutter won’t be able to avoid sci-fi conventions for much longer.
While the internet has since lit up with stories declaring that Spidey will cameo in Joss Whedon's superhero ensemble, common sense says that this 59 year old woman isn't a superhero expert and simply dropped the names of the first couple of characters that popped into her head during the interview. Disney/Marvel Studios own
The Avengers and Sony hold the rights to
The Amazing Spider-Man. To think they could come to some sort of deal when there is literally billion of dollars involved is bordering on being totally ludicrous. Still, with speculation at an all time high, now is the time to find out whether YOU think he'll turn up alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes when they hit the big screen in just 100 days time.
