Production[]
Notes[]
- Some scenes deleted were put together for the Blu-ray exclusive short film Peter's To-Do List.
- The film was originally announced as the first film in Phase Four, before switching to the end of Phase Three. A similar situation occurred when Ant-Man was announced as the first film in Phase Three, before switching to the final film in Phase Two.
- The film begins eight months after Avengers: Endgame, and unlike the latter, reveals how they returned when Smart Hulk used the nano gauntlet, in that they all flashed back into existence, instead of their dust particles reintegrating together again, after Thanos disintegrated them with the Infinity Gauntlet. It also refers to the event as "the Blip." Afterwards, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige retconned the two as the Snap (a widely used fan-generated term after seeing Avengers: Infinity War), which took away half of the universe's population, while the Blip returned it. But WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier continued to use "the Blip" to refer to what happened from the beginning to end.
- Students who had already taken their midterms had to start the whole school year again.
- J.K. Simmons reprises his role as J. Jonah Jameson from his original, but unrelated appearances from the 2002-2007 Spider-Man film series.
- This is the first film not to feature a cameo from Stan Lee, as he died before filming, although he's still credited as executive producer.
- This is the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which properly alludes to Peter's late uncle, by engraving a suitcase with his initials "BFP" (Benjamin Franklin Parker), which Peter takes with him to Europe.
Trivia[]
- There are fictional films/documentaries based on events and characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including The Snap, Finding Wakanda, Hunting Hydra, Nova: Einstein Rosen Bridges, and Heart of Iron: The Tony Stark Story.
- Officially, Tabitha Harrington is referred to by the first time, although Mr. Harrington refers to her several times in deleted scenes of Spider-Man: Homecoming.
- Flash's relationship with his parents in this film is different than in the previous one, as they showed up after the attack in Washington, with the other parents/guardians.
- Ned's surname is officially revealed to be Leeds in the end credits.
- Mr. Harrington's first name is officially revealed to be Roger.
- JB Smoove had previously played Peter's driving instructor in Driver's Test, a short film/commercial tie-in for Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Cultural references[]
- Nova: Einstein Rosen Bridges with Dr. Erik Selvig is apparently a spin-off from the real PBS show Nova.
- Hotel DeMatteis in Italy, is named after J.M. DeMatteis, a writer of Spider-Man titles for Marvel Comics. There are also references to Gerry Conway, Brian Michael Bendis, David Michelinie, Roger Stern, Dan Slott.
- Flash mentions the website BuzzFeed.
- Beck pretends that he's come to Spider-Man's Earth, which he designates as Dimension 616, which is reference to the 616 universe designation of Marvel Comics.
- Peter uses the search engine Google on his phone.
