Robert Downey Jr. Messes With Fans By Sharing A F***ed Up "Sneak Peek" From SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
Is romance on the horizon for Tony Stark and Peter Parker's Aunt May? If this hilarious meme shared by Robert Downey Jr. on his Facebook page is any indication, perhaps so! Hit the jump to check it out...
With the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Aunt May quite a bit younger (and hotter) than previous iterations due to the fact that Marisa Tomei is now playing the character, her hooking up with Tony Stark is something a lot of fans have been imagining since the release of Captain America: Civil War. Iron Man did after all seem rather taken with her anyway, and now Robert Downey Jr. has taken to his Facebook page (via Newsarama) to share a very disturbing look at what just might be to come.
This is quite clearly just a joke, but it's going to be interesting to see if things do indeed pan out like this considering the fact that Downey Jr. is confirmed to appear in next year's Spider-Man: Homecoming. Tony has after all broken up with Pepper Potts, so if nothing else, we should probably expect the Avenger to keep ribbing Peter about his unusually attractive aunt (who the actor actually dated in the early 90s).
