Did You Catch This Shocker Easter Egg In 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'?
With the digital HD release of Spider-Man: Homecoming fans have been able to take a closer look at [...]
Tinkerer and Vulture
One of the more obvious license plate callouts happens during the ferry fight scene. When Spider-Man confronts Vulture, Shocker and their squad of goons, one of the cars on the ferry has a license plate reading "SM2-0563." The plate is a reference to The Amazing Spider-Man #2 and the issue was released in May 1963. The issue marks the first time comic book audiences meet the Vulture, but the villain isn't alone in his debut.. The Tinkerer also appears to readers for the first time in that very same issue.

Another license plate in the movie not only was a nod to a film character's comic debut, but also a hint about one we did not see. The car that Donald Glover's Aaron Davis owns in the film reads "UCS-MO1." Davis, aka the Prowler first appeared in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #01, as did Davis' nephew – Miles Morales, aka the Ultimate Marvel Universe's version of Spider-Man. Morales is also referenced in a deleted scene from the movie where Glover's Davis is speaking to someone on the phone and refers to them as "Miles."
Of course, license plates aren't the only Easter eggs in the movie and fans can try to see if they can find them all – as well as enjoy deleted scenes and additional content with the Spider-Man: Homecoming Blu-ray and digital.
Spider-Man: Homecoming will have its digital version go on sale September 26 before the physical edition hits on October 7. You can pre-order the Blu-ray (currently 41% off) and 4K releases here.
