An eagle-eyed fan noticed an Ant-Man-sized detail in Spider-Man: Homecoming that predicted — or revealed — the release date of the second Avengers: Infinity War trailer, premiered by Marvel early Friday morning.

The trailer release date was under our noses THE ENTIRE TIME from r/marvelstudios

Reddit user joe1up pointed out a seemingly innocous scene from Homecoming in which high school student and part time superhero Peter Parker (Tom Holland) visits Delmar's Deli-Grocery and purchases a pack of gummy worms. When Peter plops the bag on the counter, the "use by" date can be spotted: 03-16-18.

Did Marvel Studios reveal the date of the second Infinity War trailer as far back as July 2017? It's likely coincidence, but one that's no less mind-blowing.

And, by the way, it's real and it's spectacular.

Friday's Avengers: Infinity War signaled the arrival of pre-sale tickets available for purchase, and the superhero team up epic has already topped Black Panther's pre-sale record on Fandango — a feat it accomplished in just six hours.

Last month, Black Panther made waves as the fastest-selling pre-sale for Marvel Studios, taking its place as the fourth-highest pre-sale of all time on Fandango — behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Rogue One.

Black Panther has amassed more than $1 billion dollars at the worldwide box office in just four weeks, a feat Infinity War will match (or beat).

As Infinity War dominates social media buzz, a slew of brand new details surrounding Marvel Studios' most anticipated blockbuster yet continue to reach the internet.
