Hi John, in the case of the example we’re talking about an event that we can expect to be completed (“he is going to do it”) but “will” also works to emphasise that belief, i.e. “He is going to do it.” shows an expected belief, “He will do it.” shows a more emphatic confirmation (a slightly different use to the planned/unplanned uses discussed here).

The reality, of course, is that in practice often the two are used rather flexibly.

(We expect he will…) – You just used “will” ?
