As fans continue to anticipate “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” more and more potential spoilers are slowly coming to light. One such insider leak involves the unlikely participation of DJ Khaled, who recently revealed that he filmed a scene with Stan Lee and Tom Holland for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Granted, it was not specified if the MCU film in question was actually “Homecoming,” most especially since the movie will already be hitting theatres in July. Regardless, as Screen Rant reports, DJ Khaled’s possible cameo might have been a pick-up shot for the movie more than anything.

How DJ Khaled will be worked into the MCU is still unknown, but it seems rather likely that his cameo will be with Lee. As many fans may already know, Lee is known for making cameo appearances in Marvel films, regardless as to whether or not they are part of the MCU. His most recent cameo was in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”

“Homecoming” will be a noteworthy entry in the MCU as it marks the full culmination of the trademark deal between Sony and Marvel. As Sony held cinematic rights to Spider-Man, Marvel had been previously unable to include the character in their films. However, following a recent agreement between the two companies, the new deal will allow Sony to maintain their rights whilst allowing Marvel to feature the Spider-Man character in their cinematic universe. Previously, Holland’s Spider-Man made his MCU debut in 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War.” There, audiences were introduced to their first taste of Holland’s iteration of the web slinger and his dynamic with Tony Stark while caught in the middle of the civil war amongst the Avengers.

In terms of Holland’s longevity as the character, he is set to continue donning the spidey suit as far as 2019. As per The Hollywood Reporter, this will include appearances in 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and the still untitled “Avengers 4,” which is slated for a 2019 release as well. Following this, he will be returning as Spider-Man for the “Homecoming” sequel — also with an anticipated 2019 release — though this is as far as his contract goes for the time being. There is a possibility of a contract extension for Holland, though this may still be subject to the performance of “Homecoming” at the box office and any future negotiations between Sony and Marvel.

“Homecoming” is slated to hit theatres on July 6. Holland as the titular character will also be joined by other cast members such as Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Michael Keaton and Zendaya.
