For years, fans waited with bated breath to see if Spider-Man would ever be introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and when the day finally came, there were cheers all around.

The character has had a great run in the MCU thus far, with a scene-stealing turn in Civil War, a fantastic solo movie and an emotional arc in Infinity War, but there were some people who believed that the character had appeared in the MCU way before his "debut" in the third Captain America movie.

At the end of Iron Man 2, an army of drones attacks the Stark Expo, causing its guests to run for their lives. However, one brave young boy - wearing an Iron Man mask - bravely stands up to one of the robots, before the actual Iron Man swoops in and saves him. Fans had theorised that this kid was Peter Parker, and in mid-2017, current Spidey actor Tom Holland confirmed that this was true.

Speaking with The Huffington Post, Holland said “it is Peter Parker,” before mentioning that he'd just discussed this very topic with Kevin Feige - the godfather of the MCU.

Seems legit.
