Jon Favreau Details Happy Hogan's Role In Spider-Man: Homecoming

Today, Spider-Man fans have never been happier for Brazil’s largest comic-con. The annual event is in full swing, and Sony Pictures brought its own web-swinging vigilante to the event in style. The studio dished out plenty of updates on Spider-Man: Homecoming and even showed exclusive footage from the film to lucky attendees. The special video showed Peter Parker meeting up with Tony Stark’s beloved right-hand man. And, now, Jon Favreau is detailing just how Happy Hogan fits into the upcoming blockbuster.

In a recent interview with CinemaBlend, Favreau took a moment to address today’s footage and whether he’d be a major player in the film. The actor kept quiet, but he did say this about his role: I'm like... I'm looking after him [Peter]. He needs someone to help him out.”

If that’s the case, then it seems like Happy Hogan might have a bigger role than previously expected. When the actor’s involvement with Homecoming was announced, fans believed Favreau would star in a simple cameo, but it appears as if the actor nabbed more screentime than previously expected.

There’s little doubt that Favreau is pleased with a larger role; After all, the actor did gushabout Spider-Man when the hero cameoed in Captain America: Civil War.Later in the interview, Favreau also reflected on filming Homecoming and said it was “a lot of fun.”

“I had a lot of fun on that movie, working with Robert [Downey Jr.] and everything. It was a good time, and I liked the whole gang. It was really terrific,” he explained.
