Exact Moment Every Character Knew Peter Parker Was Spider-Man

7. Spider-Man: Homecoming - Ned Leeds

Spider-Man: Homecoming Ned Leeds LEGO Death Star — Columbia Pictures

"You're the Spider-Man... from YouTube!"

That was the response from Jacob Batalon's Ned Leeds upon discovering his best buddy is Spidey.

In a brilliantly done scene, Spider-Man: Homecoming had Peter on super stealth mode as he quietly crawled up his apartment block's wall and into his bedroom - only to turn around and see a stunned Ned sat on the bed, cradling a partially-built LEGO Death Star.

6. Spider-Man: Homecoming - Aunt May

Of all of the responses to learning Spider-Man's identity over the years and the various iterations of the Web-slinger, nobody was as shocked as Marisa Tomei's take on Aunt May.

With Peter having been given a swanky new suit from Tony Stark, the young hero eagerly tries on this new costume, safe in the knowledge he's got the apartment to himself. That is, of course, until May returns home just in time to spot Peter and utter a "What the..." before The Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop hits and the Homecoming end credits roll.
