Back when news broke that Marvel and Sony had come to an agreement that would allow Spider-Man to appear in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) there were rumors that he would be making an "after-the-credits" appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron.  This would establish him in the MCU, and then he would go on to having a bigger role in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War film.  This couldn't really happen though, right?  I mean, the Avengers movie is less than two months away from being released, and have they even found an actor to play Peter Parker (or some other Spider-Man alter ego) yet?  They couldn't possibly be putting him in!  However...

It was recently revealed that Danny Elfman's name was added to the credits of the upcoming Avengers film.  Why?  Brian Tyler is the composer that's writing the score for the film, so why bring in a different composer to do work on the film?  Here's what Elfman had to say on the matter of helping rework some of the movie's music during a radio interview:

"I was doing the same thing actually just last week because I've contributed music to the new Avengers movie.  I took part of Alan Silvestri's theme on the original [movie], which I really liked, and pulled in into its new theme, which became kind of a hybrid.  I really enjoyed that."

It should be noted that Alan Silvestri scored the original Avengers film, but like I said earlier Brian Tyler is composing the upcoming one.  Elfman had worked on Spider-Man 2 & 3.  So why bring in Elfman to do some rework on the new Avengers movie?  Silvestri's theme from the original film was quite good, so why not just rework that one into the film?  Could this be a hint that they are blending the new Avengers movie's theme music with the Spider-Man theme music?  If this is the case, does that mean we might actually see our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man make an appearance at the end of the film?  The only way we'll find out is to go and see the movie!

Avengers: Age of Ultron will make its way to theaters May 1, 2015.
