‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Reveals Peter Parker’s Birthday and ‘Amazing Fantasy’ Easter Egg

The Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer featured a number of hidden details for Marvel fans to find, including one little detail that links back to the first appearance of Spider-Man.

At one point in the trailer, we see Peter Parker officially get his passport, and the camera hovers over it for a minute before it cuts away. Aside from a picture of Tom Holland and Peter’s name, it also features his birthday, which happens to be August 10th. Longtime fans of the character might recognize that date as the release date for Amazing Fantasy #15, which of course holds special significance to the character.

Amazing Fantasy #15 featured the debut of the web-slinger, courtesy of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Artie Simek. Making Pete’s birthday the same day as his character’s introduction is the kind of fan service people love, and undoubtedly there’s more to be found before the credits roll.

Not only did Amazing Fantasy #15 introduce Peter Parker and Spider-Man, but it also featured the first appearances of Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Flash Thompson, characters that would go on to be critical pieces to the Spider-Man mythos.

Spider-Man: Far From Home stars Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), Zendaya (Michelle Jones), Jake Gyllenhaal (Mysterio), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Marisa Tomei (May Parker), Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan), Angourie Rice (Betty, Jacob Batalon (Ned), Tony Revolori (Flash Thompson), and Numan Acar (Magnum).
