To date, each entry in Marvel's monolithic Cinematic Universe has featured dozens of Easter eggs and references to other MCU storylines, events and characters from the comics, or even just other aspects of popular culture. As you can imagine, Spider-Man: Far From Home is no different.

The film boasts an array of different nods and winks to not just Marvel's wider properties, but also dozens of other things spanning various mediums, from music, to literature and of course comics and films.

Some boast no major significance at all, while others could yet play a part in the MCU's changing landscape. That last aspect was made abundantly clear in the film's two post-credits sequences, but there are other Easter eggs littered throughout the film that hint at what's to come in Phase Four too.

So, if you were ever at all curious as to the secret origins of Spidey’s new suit, the thematic implications of The Jam’s Town Called Malice or what exactly a Kree sleeper cell actually is, have no fear - all and more will be addressed here.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
