It's that time again where I tell you about some the easter eggs I noticed and today I'm talking about the ones I found in Spider-Man: Homecoming. As always I didn't spot every single one just the ones I noticed. Now let's get started.

The opening music for the movie is the 1960's Spider-Man theme but instead of using the original version the movie used an acoustic style. Which sounds amazing.

The movie starts off in the aftermath of The Chitauri Invasion from The Avengers. All their weapons were being cleaned up by Adrian Toomes' crew and Tony Stark's damage control.






We also get to see Peter Parker's point of view during Captain America: Civil War. He's vlogging about the trip, getting his new suit, stealing Captain America's shield, and Ant-Man becoming a giant.

Since Tony Stark was in the movie let's get him out of the way. Throughout the movie he's wearing a suit of armor similar to Ultimate Iron Man.

During the limo scene between Tony & Peter if you look closely you can see Tony is healing from his black eye that he got in Captain America: Civil War.

We also get a Howard Stark easter egg. There's a painting of him on a wall at Peter's school.

We also see a headshot of Bruce Banner during one of Peter's classes. A photo of him can be seen above a whiteboard being a notable scientist of history.

We also get another cameo appearance from another Avenger that being Captain America. He appears in a fitness video when Peter is in gym class, then makes another appearance in a detention video and also appears at the post - credit scene talking about patience. He's also wearing his suit from the first Avengers movie.

The movie tells us that Midtown School was established in 1962. 1962 is the same year that Spider-Man debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15.

Donald Glover plays the character Aaron Davis. He's Prowler for Marvel Comics' Ultimate universe the character is also the uncle to Miles Morales. He's not a cat burglar like he is in the comics in the movie he's just a petty stick - up artist.

We also get another reference to Miles Morales. Aaron Davis' license plate is UCS-M01. It's probably a nod to Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 which is the issue that Miles Morales debuted along with his uncle Aaron.

Spider-Man's homemade suit kind of bares a resembles to Scarlet Spider. What with the hoodie and exposed web shooters. The real differences are the mask, the inverted colors, and Peter Parker has red socks while Ben Reilly didn't have any socks.

Let's continue talking about the Spider-Man costume only this time I tell you about the web wings. In the movie they did help Peter glad however in the comics their just there to look cool. Which they are. The two artist I know who used them the most were Steve Ditko and Todd McFarlane. Steve Ditko drew them a lot when he was the artist for Spider-Man. Todd McFarlane would sometimes draw but other times they wouldn't be there.

Spider-Man: Homecoming also gives a familiar gadget Spidey would use. That would be the Spider - Tracer. The Spider - Tracers are small electronic devices that would help Spider-Man track objects or one of his villains. Typically the only way he got these on people or objects is when they were departing.

Stan Lee has a cameo appearance in the movie. He's plays a New York apartment residents named Gary.

Betty Brant is also in the movie. In the comics she looks like she's in her 30's working for the Daily Bungle. In the movie she's a teenager and reports for Midtown School on their morning news station.

Many of the characters in Peter's high school have very familiar first names. Such as Laura Harrier playing a girl named Liz & Jacob Batalon playing a guy named Ned. However Laura isn't playing Liz Allan because he last name is Toomes. Jacob Batalon isn't playing Ned Leeds aka The Hobgoblin. They just share the same first name.

Zendaya plays a character named Michelle Jones. Near the end of the movie she says that people usually call her MJ. MJ is the nickname to Mary - Jane Watson. Peter Parker's longtime love interest.

Throughout the movie we told or shown what weapons belonged to what villains from previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films. During the bank robbing scene the burglars are using Chitauri technology from The Avengers, when Aaron Davis is buying weapons from Vultures' men their blasting stuff with an Ultron arm from Avengers: Age of Ultron, and The Shocker's gauntlet is one of the gauntlets that Crossbones lost in Captain America: Civil War.

Since I brought him up let's talk about The Shocker. Instead of just one Shocker we get two. The first person to have the Shocker name is Jackson Price aka Montana for a short time then he's accidently killed by The Vulture. The second person to get the name is Herman Schultz who's the original Shocker in the comics.

We also see some Star Wars toys in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The one featured the most in the movie is the Lego Death Star. When Peter comes home after the bank robbery if you look closely in his room you can see toy AT-ATs.

After The Vulture leaves to steal technology from Tony Stark's jet. We cut back to Peter being pinned down by rubble from the building that collapsed on him and he tries to find the strength to get it off him. They scene is very reminiscent to The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.1 #33.




So those were all the easter eggs I noticed in Spider-Man: Homecoming. I hoped you enjoyed it. I will definitely do this again in the future for Thor: Ragnarok & Justice League. Also I do have plans to do a Raiders of the Lost Media post about James Cameron's cancelled Spider-Man movie but haven been talking about nothing but Spider-Man from July 6th to today. So it's going to be awhile before I get to that but I like to keep you guys informed so when I get to work on that I'll tell you.
