The two were tied at the hip in the MCU. Tony Stark (Downey) recruited Peter Parker (Holland) to his team against Captain America in Civil War. Peter/Spider-Man became a mainstay in the MCU going forward, with Tony playing a vital part in his future stories.

He would go on to lead three solo films, four Avengers films, and pop up in other ones including Spider-Man: Homecoming and Captain America: Civil War.
