Marvel is full of comic book references, Easter eggs, and intriguing connections. Most of them are so well hidden that it takes years, and even decades, to unveil the truth about their existence. The Spider-Man sub-franchise that started with Spider-Man: Homecoming and will be continued over by Spider-Man: Far From Home, have revealed one such connection to the past that will forever change the MCU as we know it. And since it comes from the very guy who plays the wall-crawling vigilante superhero, we can take his words as the most legit source out there.

In Spider-Man: Far From Home Press Meet, Tom Holland was interviewed by Jake Hamilton where the former gave us the groundbreaking revelation. Tom Holland said and we quote:

“Well Spider-Man is actually in a previous Marvel movie. My version of Spider-Man. Do you know where it is?… My Peter Parker is in ‘Iron Man 2’, but at the end when all the robots are attacking all the people, and the little kid’s wearing an Iron Man mask, and the bad robot recognizes the Iron Man mask as a threat, and the kid puts his hand up. Then Tony Stark lands next to him and blows him away and goes ‘Good job kid!’ and flies away. That’s the theory… No it was actually me, it was me. Kevin Feige confirmed it.”

Tom Holland made it even better when he revealed that the kid in Iron Man 2 was not only a different version of Peter Parker but was also played by Max Favreau, the real-life son of Jon Favreau, who plays Happy in the Iron Man as well as the Spider-Man movies in the MCU.

Director Jon Watts had already confirmed the news of two versions of Peter Parker existing in the MCU long before:

“You make the joke about that, but basically when I rewatched all the Marvel movies, I was watching them like that,” Watts was heard saying. “I was watching all these other movies and being like, ‘What if that little kid at the Stark Expo was Peter Parker? In the Iron Man mask.’ Like, he’d be about the right age for that. And he loves Tony Stark… So it’s this thing where, because it’s not completely figured out, that you can just go back and basically write fan fiction for those movies, then the fan fiction becomes reality. A lot of the Easter eggs in this movie just started by rewatching the movies.”
