It was an extra-special visit for Stamos. The actor is joining the Marvel family, voicing Iron Man/Tony Stark in the upcoming season 2 premiere of Disney Junior’s animated seriesSpidey and His Amazing Friends.
He dressed for the part on Monday, too, wearing a pair of red glasses reminiscent of the ones Stark wears in the comic books andRobert Downey Jr.wore while playing the character in several movies across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
If Stamos felt like he needed to complete any further research for the role, he appeared to get a crash-course education in superhero-ing while meeting Disney Parks' Iron Man, snapping a series of pics with him.
“There’s a new Iron Man in town, you know, and it’s not you,” Stamos said in anInstagramvideo he recorded Monday.

In June, Stamos shared shared a trio of adorable pictures onInstagramfeaturing Billy in another Spider-Man tee shirt, reflecting on sharing small but important moments with his son.
“The little moments. The ‘micro-transactions’ that take place in between life’s big events. I like those the best,” Stamos captioned the thoughtful post.
Last summer, Stamos told PEOPLE aboutlife at home with his little boy, calling his family of three a “dream come true,” especially considering the actor once believed having a family wasn’t in the cards.
“I always wanted to have kids, but I didn’t think I’d meet the right person,” Stamos recalled at the time. “And maybe I felt like well, I have everything, I shouldn’t be greedy.”
Ultimately, Stamos said he attributes finding his wife to “straightening up my life.”
“I wasn’t deserving of it yet I think. But six years ago, I sobered up and I became a better person,” Stamos said. “And when Caitlin came around, I recognized it immediately. I said, ‘I have to be good for that to make it work.’ "
