Spider-Man joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe with this terrific scene where Tony Stark visits Peter Parker at his Queens, New York home, hanging out with his sexy Aunt May until he comes home, under the pretense of awarding him a research grant.

The two go into Peter's room for a private chat, where Tony quickly reveals he knows that he's Spider-Man, and mocks his low-fi Spidey costume before offering him a serious upgrade. Parker eventually agrees, but not before webbing Tony's hand to the door to stop him from telling on Aunt May.

The scene is pretty much perfect on a writing and acting level, quickly inserting Peter into the MCU with minimal padding, while also nodding at Uncle Ben's death without needing to rake over it at length once again.
