Spider-Man: Far From Home - 26 Easter Eggs & References Explained
14. Back In Black
Marvel Studios
By far one of the best scenes in Far From Home is the moment where Peter Parker finally suits up in his own costume, but specifically the moment where he starts building it. He's finally placing ownership on his identity, and Happy Hogan cements it all by playing Back in Black.
It's more than just a rock classic though. AC/DC's hit was the very first song audiences heard when Iron Man launched in 2008. It literally comes at the opening scene, and it's what plays out Tony's role in Pete's development in Far From Home.
It's a wonderful moment, and one that brings Stark's legacy full circle.
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.
