Every movie Marvel Studios releases is chock full o’ easter eggs, ranging from clever nods to source material, to references to older movies, to foreshadowing of important happenings yet to come.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is no different — in fact, it might be loaded with more easter eggs than any other film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially given that it deals with many elements established in the Avengers and Iron Man films that have since been forgotten.
There are tons of awesome references to different Spider-Man comics, movies, characters, as well as mentions and hints at the greater MCU.
We’ve already covered the identity of Peter Parker’s A.I. in his new suit., the use of the old cartoon theme song, Donald Glover’s role and what his presence could mean for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve even mentioned that subtle reference to the previous iteration of the franchise from the Amazing Spider-Man.
But here are some other easter eggs that you may have missed, including a bunch of homages paid to the various geniuses of the MCU. Check them out below and see what you may have missed from Spider-Man: Homecoming.
DAMAGE CONTROL
We’ve covered the fact that Damage Control was going to be in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The cult-classic comic book is actually a favorite among some of those working here at ComicBook.com. The comic from Ernie Colón and the late, great Dwayne McDuffie uses a humorous take on the Marvel Universe through the eyes of a repair firm who cleaned up after superhero battles.
In the comics, Damage Control is a private company established in a partnership between Tony Stark and Wilson Fisk, one of the rare times Iron Man and the Kingpin teamed up for the greater good.
In the movies Stark establishes the government-sanctioned clean up crew, but both versions are run by Anne Marie Hoag.She makes a brief appearance in the opening scenes of Spider-Man: Homecoming played by actor Tyne Daly, shutting down Adrian Toomes’ (Michael Keaton) cleanup operation after the Avengers’ Battle of New York. Side note, Tyne Daly’s brother is Tim Daly, the actor who voiced Superman in the ‘90s animated series.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to see a scene of the comptroller Albert Cleary demand Dr. Doom pay on a defaulted bill, but at least its a possibility in the future!
GENIUSES OF THE MCU
Given that Peter Parker attends Midtown School of Science and Technology, it makes sense that the institution would pay homage to the geniuses that helped develop the modern world as it is today.
That includes Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, and… Howard…
