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.

Robert Downey Jr. kicked off the MCU with Iron Man. 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. At the Critics' Choice Awards, Downey took home Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Oppenheimer.
