SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
1. Aaron Davis mentions he has a nephew. In the comics, Aaron Davis is the Ultimate Marvel universe version of the villain "The Prowler", whose nephew is Miles Morales, a.k.a. the second Ultimate Spider-Man.
2. In an interview from 2013, while promoting his upcoming film, How I Live Now (2013), Tom Holland was asked by a reporter what kind of role he might want to try next. When Holland replied, saying a project with action and humor would be of interest to him, the reporter asked if he would ever like to play a superhero. "Maybe Spider-Man, in ten years time," answered Holland. "The reboot of the reboot, if they do that."
3. Nick Fury was originally going to be Peter's mentor in the film, with Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role, but they went with Tony Stark instead.
4. Kenneth Choi (Principal Morita) also played the Howling Commando Jim Morita in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). In the Principal's office, you can see photos of the Howling Commando, which hints that they are related, and he is his grandson.
5. First live-action "Spider-Man" film where his costume has resizable visors, providing more expressiveness to his appearance (in accordance with the comics).
6. Peter's homemade Spider-Man costume is very similar to Ben Reilly's first Spider-Man costume from the comics: a red jumpsuit with a blue sleeveless hoodie, with the belt and web shooters on the outside of the costume.
7. J.K. Simmons had previously expressed interest in returning to the role of J. Jonah Jameson (the role that he played in the Sam Raimi trilogy, and also voiced the character in Ultimate Spider-Man (2012)). However, once he was cast as Commissioner Gordon in Justice League (2017), all discussion of this happening ceased.
8. Tom Holland spent a few days attending classes at the Bronx High School of Science in New York City to prepare for his role as Peter Parker. He used his acting coach's name as an alias.
9. The cast had to watch a John Hughes movie marathon to prepare. This movie is first and foremost a coming-of-age tale, so Watts turned to the master of such stories: John Hughes. "He gave us a lot of movies to watch", Holland said during an interview with PopSugar UK. "God, there's so many movies, and we basically just all sat down in my house in Atlanta, all the cast, and we just watched them all in one day, and just had like a Domino's day. It was amazing, The Breakfast Club (1985), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Pretty in Pink (1986), there were loads of them."
10. Pictures of Howard Stark, Abraham Erskine, and Bruce Banner can be seen in Peter Parker's school.
11. Aunt May's car number plate is AMF-1562. AMF is Amazing Fantasy, 15 is the issue number, and 62 is 1962, the year Spider-Man first appeared.
12. The first Spider-Man film where Spider-Man has his iconic web wings from the comics.
13. While Happy is overseeing loading the plane with objects from the Avengers Tower, he references Thor's belt, but is unable to pronounce it's name "Meg-... Meg-... Thor's magic belt!". The real name for the belt is Megingjörð.
14. Prior to its release, this movie saw the debut of numerous pitch-perfect posters celebrating Spidey's first film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Of them, the image featuring the hero leisurely lying next to a body of water wearing his high school academic decathlon blazer with a pair of headphones on stood out. As it turns out, the pose wasn't conceived of by a genius marketer, it was a picture of Tom Holland taken when he was entirely unaware. In an interview during a press junket in Mexico City, Holland explained that the poster was a picture snapped while he was napping on-set. "That is actually me asleep", Holland said. "That's not part of the movie, that's me, in-between takes, asleep. We were shooting this scene, and I was just really tired that day, and I was just asleep on the floor, and the photographer took a picture. So when they made that the poster, I was like 'What?! What the hell, guys?!'"
15. Tom Holland is the youngest actor (at nineteen) to be cast as Peter Parker. His predecessors, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, were twenty-five and twenty-six, respectively, when they were cast.
16. The music that plays over the Marvel Studios logo is an orchestral version of the classic Spider-Man television theme song, written in 1967 by Paul Francis Webster and Robert "Bob" Harris for the animated television show. Here it has been adapted by Composer Michael Giacchino.
17. Spider-Man never punches any of the villains he fights. He uses his webs, he counters his enemies punches which causes them to punch each other, he even kicks them, but he never punches them.
18. Donald Glover (Aaron Davis) has voiced the Miles Morales incarnation of Spider-Man in the Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) animated series.
19. Vincent D'Onofrio had shown interest in appearing as Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin from Daredevil (2015). Kingpin is a shared villain from Spider-Man and Daredevil's rogue's gallery, and has appeared in many other Spider-Man media.
20. Director Jon Watts has revealed that Peter Parker will be aged around fifteen years old at the time of the film. Tom Holland was around age nineteen to twenty at the time of filming.
21. The Vulture is the fourth member of the original Sinister Six gang to appear in a Spider-Man film. Members who have previously appeared are Doctor Octopus (in Spider-Man 2 (2004)), Sandman (in Spider-Man 3 (2007)), and Electro (in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)). So far, only Mysterio and Kraven the Hunter have not appeared in live-action. In fact, Vulture, Doc Ock, Mysterio and Kraven were meant to appear in Sony's Amazing Spider-Man saga before its cancellation.
22. In the comics, Flash Thompson was a burly football player. This was updated to make him a wealthy smug character to fit modern portrayals of bullies.
23. Before this film was officially announced, Sony planned to build a universe not too dissimilar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe using only Spider-Man characters. This included an untitled spin-off focusing on a female super heroine assumed to be Black Cat, a Venom film, a Sinister Six film, and two further installments to The Amazing Spider-Man series. Andrew Garfield was signed on to appear in at least two of these films.
24. This is the first appearance of Cindy Moon (Tiffany Espensen), better known as in the comic as Spider-Man's female counterpart Silk.
25. The film's release date was originally meant for Thor: Ragnarok (2017), which was then moved to the November 3, 2017, release slot for Black Panther (2018). This move would ultimately change the release dates for several other Marvel films.
26. While some fans complained about the hi-tech Spider-Man suit, many of the gadgets were ideas that appeared at one time or another in the Spider-Man comic books over the years.
27. First solo Spider-Man film to not mention or feature Uncle Ben in any way. Peter Parker briefly alludes to bad things that have happened to his Aunt May, which may imply the loss of her husband, but he does not elaborate.
28. Robert Downey Jr.'s eighth time playing Tony Stark.
29. On April 21, 2016, it was made official that Robert Downey, Jr., would reprise his role as Tony Stark. This also marks the first time that a Spider-Man film will include another superhero character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
30. Martin Starr plays one of Peter Parker's high school teachers in this movie. He can briefly be seen in The Incredible Hulk (2008), and is credited as "Computer Nerd". Marvel and Disney usually doesn't re-cast the same actors in different Marvel Cinematic Universe roles, but has broken this rule a few times. However, Starr's role could be linked to the previous minor background character, in which case, he was getting a degree in the earlier film, and went into teaching in this one.
31. During the initial encounter, Vulture appears in front of the moon briefly with his wings spread. This is similar to a scene in Batman (1989), with the Batwing flying in front of the moon. In both cases, the person using the "wing" technology is Michael Keaton.
32. Prior to the Spider-Man deal, certain characters such as Georges Batroc, Christine Everhart, Ben Urich, Wilson Fisk, Mister Hyde, and Frank Castle have already shown up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe prior to the webslinger's arrival. In Ant-Man (2015), when Luis is recounting Falcon's search for Ant-Man, a woman had mentioned "we got a guy who jumps, a guy who swings, and a guy who climb up the walls", which is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe reference to Spider-Man.
33. Midtown School of Science and Technology's year of foundation, 1962, is a reference to the comic debut of Spider-Man in the August 1962 issue of Amazing Fantasy.
34. Though the majority of the movie takes place in Queens, New York, much of the movie was shot in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional footage shot in Germany. A portion of the film was still shot in the real New York City, though.
35. Tom Holland confirmed in an interview with BBC Radio 1 that he struggled to say Spider-Man without it sounding like a southern accent during filming. As a result, him saying the name had to be dubbed later.
36. Mark Hamill wanted to play The Vulture if Michael Keaton turned the part down.
37. Matthew McConaughey expressed interest in the role of Norman Osborn, a.k.a. The Green Goblin, Spider-Man's archenemy.
38. Based on what Kevin Feige has said about the film, there are actually quite a few similarities between this film and Ultimate Spider-Man (2012): the film is not an origin story, Peter is in high school, Peter wears the classic Spider-Man costume, the film incorporates new villains, Peter has a non-stop wit as Spider-Man, Peter has awkward interactions with other superheroes, Peter is a street-level hero, and Peter struggles to balance his double life.
39. Sequels to The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), as well as plans for a Sinister Six movie were turned down, in favor of this film. However, spin-offs for that franchise, and in that universe, are still in production by Sony, such as Venom (2018).
40. The weekend before Tom Holland was announced as Spider-Man, he posted three videos on his Instagram account, where he showed off his backflip skills. Many websites started pointing this out after he was cast, praising him for his spider-like abilities.
41. Marisa Tomei said she was shocked to learn that Aunt May was much older in the comic books. However, her brother, a Marvel fan, explained to her that Aunt May was not a blood relative to Peter Parker. This made her realize that Aunt May could be any adult age, depending on how old she and Uncle Ben were when they got married.
42. This is the first Spider-Man film where the special effects for the character are not being produced by another company affiliated with Sony, the rights holder to Spider-Man. Industrial Light & Magic, which handles much of the visual effects for the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, produced the visual effects.
43. Alfred Molina expressed interest in reprising his role as Dr. Otto Octavius, a.k.a. Doctor Octopus in another Spider-Man sequel.
44. The man that Peter pursues to get info on the Staten Island Ferry heist has a profile that briefly lists one of his known aliases as "The Prowler", a reference to the Amazing Spider-Man villain of the same name.
45. When Sony was in the development stage of the Sam Raimi film series, with a fourth film on the way, John Malkovich was originally cast as the Vulture opposite Tobey Maguire as the title character, with Malkovich preparing for the role. However, the film was cancelled, once Sony opted to reboot the series with Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield.
46. This is the first Spider-Man movie to reference various elements regarding the web-fluid for Spider-Man's web-shooters from the original comics. The first nod, is that Spider-Man mentions that his web-fluid only lasts for two hours before it dissolves after it has been fired, whereas in the comics, it would last for one hour before it dissolved. The second nod to the comics, is the taser web, which is a reference to how Spider-Man has created different variations of his formula for his web-fluid at different points in the comics to create different types of webbing, often to deal with situations where his regular web-fluid was not enough.
47. Tony Revolori received death threats for playing the role of bully Flash Thompson.
48. In the Marvel comic books, Damage Control is a private repair and reclamation company, specializing in dealing with damage caused by superheroes and supervillains, as well as various items left behind by either community. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Damage Control is a government organization, with the same general purpose.
49. It is the second reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise, and the sixteenth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
50. This is the first Spider-Man movie where the Osborn family company Oscorp does not appear, or play any significant role.
51. The first Marvel Cinematic Universe film since Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) to be distributed by a company other than Disney.
52. According to the Marvel and Sony deal, Kevin Feige is not being compensated as an Executive Producer on the film.
53. This film features two characters who carry the supervillain title "The Shocker": Herman Schultz the original Shocker, and Jackson W. Brice, who was the Shocker in The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008). (Brice was actually known as Montana in the comics, due to being a former cowboy who could wield a rope).
54. Michael Keaton plays a character called The Vulture, which is a man in a bird costume. Coincidentally, Michael Keaton starred in the Best Picture winning film Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014), and that character is based off of Batman, which Keaton played in 1989 and 1992.
55. When Spider-Man goes to confront Aaron Davis in the parking garage (where he webs Aaron's hand to the trunk), the license plate is UCSM01. This could stand for Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, the first appearance of Miles Morales as Spider-Man in the Ultimate Marvel Universe.
56. First time that Jon Favreau portrayed "Happy" Hogan in a non-Iron Man movie.
57. This is Composer Michael Giacchino's second comic book film, after Doctor Strange (2016).
58. This is the first solo Spider-Man film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although not the first adaptation of the character to interact with another character wholly originated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Agent Phil Coulson, played by Clark Gregg, and appeared in multiple films from Phase I of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, also appeared in the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man (2012), along with various video game adaptations of Marvel properties that also feature Spider-Man. Gregg has reprised the role in the animated series, and voiced the character in multiple video games.
59. The Vulture is the first major Spider-Man movie villain who became a supervillain of his own accord. Doc Ock, Sandman, Venom, The Lizard, Elektro, and both Green Goblins all became villains as a result of experiments gone wrong, or other types of accidents beyond their control. (Rhino, Shocker, and The Tinkerer are all minor villains in the films.)
60. When the film was announced, several actors were rumored and expressed interest in taking over the role from Andrew Garfield. Dylan O'Brien and Logan Lerman were key figures, but also rumored were Daniel Radcliffe, Freddie Highmore, Alfred Enoch, Donald Glover, Josh Hutcherson, and Grant Gustin. Freddy Highmore admitted he would "love to be considered".
61. The filmmakers have stated that this movie takes inspiration on John Hughes' comedies from the 1980s about teens and high school. One of John Hughes' films, Weird Science (1985), features a young Robert Downey, Jr.
62. Every live-action Spider-Man movie released after 2010 so far, debuted ten years after all three Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire movies. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) was released ten years after Spider-Man (2002); The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) after Spider-Man 2 (2004); and Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) after Spider-Man 3 (2007).
63. This is Jennifer Connelly's third comic-book film after Hulk (2003), and The Rocketeer(1991) (which was directed by Joe Johnston who also helmed Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)).
64. This is the first Spider-Man film to feature the villain "The Vulture". In Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4, John Malkovich was set to play The Vulture, but the film was never made. In the DVD commentary for Spider-Man 3, Thomas Haden Church revealed they spoke about Ralph Fiennes and Sir Ben Kingsley playing The Vulture in a sequel.
65. Sony considered approaching Sam Raimi to direct a new trilogy of films, before this one was green-lit.
66. Adrian Toomes is never referred to as "The Vulture". However, the term "Vulture guy" is used by other characters.
67. The original proposal by Marvel was to have Spider-Man appear in several of their Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, in exchange for Columbia and Sony getting a cut of the profits, but it was rejected by Sony. However, the commercial disappointment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), partly due to poor decision calls by Sony, including Executive Producer Matt Tolmach (at one point during production, Andrew Garfield and Tolmach were not in good terms) prompted Sony to renegotiate the deal with Marvel, and restart the franchise again.
68. Asa Butterfield, Nat Wolff, Liam James, Timothée Chalamet, and Tom Holland were all in the shortlist of the much anticipated casting of Peter Parker.
69. While this movie is the first time that Spider-Man and his world have been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there have already been multiple Spider-Man characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, prior to Peter's debut in Captain America: Civil War (2016): Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk in Marvel's Daredevil (2015) (Fisk is both a villain to Spider-Man and to Daredevil). Vondie Curtis-Hall as Ben Urich in Daredevil (2015) (In the comics, Ben Urich is a reporter for the Daily Bugle. However, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he was a reporter for the New York Bulletin). Leslie Bibb as Christine Everhart in Iron Man (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), and Captain America: Civil War (2016).
70. This is the second time Robert Downey, Jr. makes a credited appearance in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film without receiving top billing.
71. While rumors flew all over the internet about the casting of Spider-Man, there were only three confirmed-by-the-source pieces of news on the matter: 1. Norman Reedus' son "Mingus Lucien Reedus" had been offered an audition, but turned it down. 2. Chandler Riggs auditioned, but did not get the part. 3. Tom Holland was cast as Spider-Man.
72. Steve Buscemi was rumored for the part of Uncle Ben, even though Marvel confirmed that the movie would not have an origin story.
73. The Cabin in the Woods (2012) director Drew Goddard had been rumored to write and direct the film. Goddard was hired to write and direct The Sinister Six for the Amazing Spider-Man franchise after leaving as showrunner for the Netflix television series Daredevil, which is also set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Goddard was in the shortlist, but Jon Watts was hired instead.
74. The first Spider-Man film to feature The Shocker (Herman Schultz), The Vulture (Adrian Toomes), and The Tinkerer (Phineas Mason). The Vulture is the main villain, and The Shocker and The Tinkerer serve as his henchmen.
75. 4th Highest grossing Spider-Man movie to date, domestically. 2nd Highest grossing worldwide behind Spider-Man 3.
76. The concept of Spider-Man's ability to change his web-shooter's settings through voice commands in the film, was adapted from the comics which was first seen in the first issue of the fourth volume of the "Amazing Spider-Man" series which was released at the end of 2015.
77. The movie filmed in Atlanta in June 2016, a month after Captain America: Civil War (2016) was released.
78. Gary Oldman was considered for the role of The Vulture. The role went to Michael Keaton. Both actors appeared as characters in different Batman franchises. James Gordon and Bruce Wayne (Batman), respectively.
79. Asa Butterfield had been considered for the role of Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War (2016), but was deemed too tall for the role.
80. On June 23, 2015, Marvel Studios officially announced that Tom Holland would be playing Spider-Man, and that Jon Watts would direct the film.

82. Of the main cast, only Michael Keaton was born before Spider-Man's comics debut in 1962.
83. Donald Glover is the third Community (2009) actor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Danny Pudi and Jim Rash had cameos in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and Captain America: Civil War (2016), respectively. In addition, Martin Starr previously guest starred as Professor Cligoris on Community, and plays teacher Mr. Harrington here.
84. At one point, in a scene set in Washington, D.C., Spider-Man is shown running beside the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial, where Captain America and Falcon first met in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014).
85. Adrian Toomes wears a dark leather bomber jacket with a fuzzy white collar when he is in the vulture suit. This gives him the appearance of a real vulture, with its tufts of lighter-colored feathers around its neck.
86. Michael Keaton is the third actor from the Batman franchise to crossover and appear in Spider-Man or vice versa. Cliff Robertson appeared on Batman (1966), and also played Uncle Ben. J.K. Simmons played J. Jonah Jameson, and now plays Commissioner Gordon in Justice League (2017).
87. Directors discussed to helm the film before the eventual selection of Jon Watts included: Jonathan Levine, Theodore Melfi, Jason Moore, Jared Hess, and John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Melfi took himself out of the running to direct Hidden Figures (2016). Daley and Goldstein were subsequently chosen to write the film.
88. Tom Holland can be seen alongside two other Marvel Cinematic Universe stars in 2015 films: Chris Hemsworth (Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) stars alongside Tom in In the Heart of the Sea (2015) and Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/The Punisher in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) stars alongside Tom in Pilgrimage (2017).

94. After playing the Scarecrow in the Dark Knight trilogy (which were adaptations from DC Comics material), Cillian Murphy showed interest in playing a Marvel Cinematic Universe villain role, specifically in this Spider-Man film. He also starred in In the Heart of the Sea (2015) with Tom Holland, so they would already know each other if it did happen. In the end, Murphy wasn't cast.
95. Dylan O'Brien was rumored to have been cast and/or the top contender for the role of Spider-Man. On March 3, 2015, he denied these rumors.
96. Before Spider-Man took this release date, July 7, 2017 had been the original release date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) (May 5, 2017) and Thor: Ragnarok (2017) (November 3, 2017).
97. The portrayal of Aunt May in this film, is by far the youngest than of its early portrayals.

98. This is the first Spider-Man movie to have a subtitle.
99. Theodore Melfi was in the running to direct, but removed his name from consideration to direct Hidden Figures (2016) instead.
100. Jane Levy and Kaya Scodelario were considered for roles as Peter's love interest.
101. For this film, lots of actors had been discussed online to play the part of Peter Parker (Spider-Man).

102. The second Spider-Man film to not have its title displayed at the beginning of the film, and the first to have its title featured on a colorful background with no webbing or spider symbol in sight.
103. All five boroughs of New York City are shown or mentioned during the film.
104. Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei appeared together in Chaplin (1992), Only You (1994) and Captain America: Civil War (2016). The two also briefly dated.
105. The first theatrically-released Spider-Man film to not have a video-game tie-in.
106. Michael Keaton and Jon Favreau appeared in the Burton and Schumacher Batman films, Keaton in Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), and Favreau in Batman Forever(1995). Tommy Lee Jones also appeared in both universes, appearing in Batman Forever (1995) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). None share any screentime in either of the two universes however.
107. Screenwriter John Francis Daley, Martin Starr, and James Franco were in Freaks and Geeks (1999). Starr plays the teacher in this film, and Franco played Harry Osborne in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy.
108. Maxim Knight was considered for the role of Peter Parker.
109. Film critic, actor, director, and writer Caillou Pettis placed the film at number twenty on his list of his twenty favorite films released in 2017.
110. Even before Disney and Marvel Studios had worked with Sony to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a popular fan theory about Iron Man 2 (2010), was that Peter Parker was the little boy in an Iron Man mask, who stands up to a killer robot, and is saved by Tony Stark. Tom Holland loved this idea so much, that he asked Kevin Feige for permission to confirm this idea as official, and Fiege agreed.
111. Happy says he's been carrying around Tony's engagement ring since 2008. That's when the first Iron Man movie came out, and it's also the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
112. The scene in which Peter, through sheer force of will, lifts the machinery pinning him down after The Vulture forces the structure to collapse on him, is a nod to a scene in The Amazing Spider-Man #33, in which he does the same thing. The panels in the comic are considered by many to be some of the most iconic in Spider-Man's history.
113. Despite being the main villain, The Vulture never intentionally attempts to harm any innocent people, only people who directly confront him. All of the peril to people, and damage to buildings, is caused by Spider-Man meddling in The Vulture's schemes to steal and/or sell weapons.
114. The female newscaster on the schools news show is Betty Brant. Betty is J. Jonah Jameson's secretary at the Daily Bugle (and an early love of Peter) in the comics. Elizabeth Banks played her in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies.
115. One of the items Spider-Man finds in the Damage Control storage facility, is an Ultronbot's head, from Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
116. Kevin Feige said that the decision to have Aunt May discovering Peter's secret as Spider-Man, was inspired by a crucial exchange between both of them in Spider-Man 2 (2004), that he felt it should have been included. During test screenings, it drew the biggest laugh. It was based on J. Michael Straczynski's Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) No. 35. Director Jon Watts felt that the scene is an homage to the final scene in Iron Man (2008); by doing so, allowing them to do more never-before-seen things on-screen in subsequent movies. When Marisa Tomei saw that line in the script, she also agreed to having that moment, reasoning that it allowed her character to develop in more areas in subsequent installments, instead of being pigeonholed.
117. In the ferry scene, when Adrian Toomes meets up with Mac Gargan, you can easily see a scorpion tattoo on Gargan's neck (a concept originally derived from Ultimate Marvel). Also in the mid-credits scene, which shows Toomes talking to Gargan in prison hinting at his future as Scorpion. Furthermore, a prison guard mentions that Toomes' family is there to visit just after Toomes refuses to give up Spider-Man's identity. Previous portrayals of Scorpion have often targeted family members of individuals with information on Spider-Man, most notably J. Jonah Jameson. Mentioning Toomes' family in earshot of Gargan may be alluding to a future hostage situation.
118. In the classic Marvel comics, Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) is a reporter at the Daily Bugle, not a friend or classmate of Peter Parker. He is also based on Ganke Lee (a chubby Chinese schoolboy from the Miles Morales Spider-Man comics, who knows his friend's secret identity). Also, Ned's collection of LEGOs in the film, is an additional nod to Ganke, as Ganke in the comics loves to collect LEGOs.
119. Michael Keaton said the only research he did for his role as The Vulture was talking with his friend's two daughters who knew the character from the comics.
120. Despite never using two "Shocker" gauntlets at once, or donning the full suit, both iterations of the character portrayed are shown with sleeves made of the insulated yellow, quilt-like material that would make up the character's full suit in the comics.
121. This is the first live-action appearance of Mac Gargan, also known as the Spider-Man villain: The Scorpion.
122. When Tony Stark takes away Peter's suit, he states "if you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it!" Tony learned this lesson in Iron Man 3 (2013) when he was forced to take on The Mandarin without the use of his armor.
123. This is the only Spider-Man movie without any graveyard scene. All of the previous five installments had graveyard scenes for some of their major characters: 1) Spider-Man (2002) - Norman Osborn; 2) Spider-Man 2 (2004) - Uncle Ben Parker; 3) Spider-Man 3 (2007) - Harry Osborn; 4) The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - Captain Stacy; 5) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) - Gwen Stacy.
124. Iron Man and The Vulture share no scenes together.
125. This version of Liz Allen is not the first to be the daughter of a super villain. In the Ultimate comics run, Liz is initially depicted as being highly intolerant (even phobic) of mutants due to her projecting her own fear that she may be one herself, due to having a mutant uncle. After she does begin manifesting mutant abilities it is revealed that the uncle in question is actually her father, Fred Dukes AKA The Blob, a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Liz herself however, goes on to join the X-Men as Firestar.
126. On the way to Washington, D.C., there is a road sign that has the word "Triskelion" in lights (Peter and Ned have a brief talk about it in a deleted scene). A short time later, one of the villains mentions that they "are still cleaning up that Triskelion mess". The Triskelion refers to the building in which S.H.I.E.L.D was based before and during the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), and where the three ships called Heli-Carriers were shot down at the end. Like "The Incident" (the climax of The Avengers (2012)), this would require significant clean-up.
