Warning: Spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home follow. Major spoilers!
For example, Spider-Man: Far From Home almost included a cameo from Anthony Mackie, debuting the first look at Falcon as Captain America. The video above includes the interview in which Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and executive producer Eric Carroll break down such intel. “We briefly talked about bringing in Falcon as Captain America at the end, like maybe once Peter’s arced, and he’s sort of like leading the team, like maybe he calls in a favor,” Carroll explains. “But we also thought it was really important to the arc of this movie that there not be other Avengers available to Nick Fury or Peter, so he’d have to step up and do it himself.”
However, the film did feature several Easter eggs, such as movie titles referencing characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On Peter’s flight to Europe, he had movie options like Heart of Iron, telling the story of Tony Stark but also referencing Iron Heart, the Riri Williams version of Iron Man from Marvel Comics.
Other eagle-eyed fans in the comment section of the video above noted that Peter Parker mirrored Captain America in the final battle Avengers: Endgame when he was fighting drones on London’s Tower Bridge. Spider-Man is seen charging into battle with the Tower Bridge sign as a shield and swinging a piece of a drone as a weapon, almost identically to how Captain America charged towards Thanos with his shield and Thor’s hammer.
