Spider-Man: Far From Home - 26 Easter Eggs & References Explained
7. Return Of The Ramones
Marvel Studios
The Ramones are all over the MCU version of Spider-Man, featuring repeatedly in Homecoming and in the marketing for Far From Home. They, much like Spider-Man himself, also happen to hail from Queens - hence the connection.
Despite appearing heavily in Far From Home's initial trailer, the Queen-based punk band don't have their first song feature in the sequel until the penultimate scene, where Peter holds hands with MJ in New York. It's 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend', and well, the meaning is pretty self-explanatory.
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.
