A peculiar but undeniably neat cameo occurs in Spider-Man: Homecoming when Peter (Tom Holland) meets with his high school's principal, Mr. Morita, played by veteran TV actor Kenneth Choi.

Observant fans soon noticed, however, that this wasn't Choi's first role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: he previously played Jim Morita, a member of the Howling Commandos unit liberated by Captain America (Chris Evans) in Captain America: The First Avenger (pictured below).

The implication is clear, that Principal Morita is the grandson of Jim Morita, cemented by the fact that a framed picture of the soldier in his uniform can be seen briefly in Morita's office.

If that isn't a wonderfully slight piece of world-building and character work, what is?
