Spider-Man: Far From Home - 26 Easter Eggs & References Explained

5. Mysterio's Tricks Reference Marvel Zombies

Marvel Zombies 2

While there were plenty of great moments littered throughout Far From Home, the highlight for many will be the Mysterio hallucinations. They are so inventive, and harken back to the character's classic appearances in various pieces of Spidey media. With that in mind though, there are a few occasions in those nightmare sequences that take a moment to reference other Marvel concepts not unique to Spider-Man specifically.

During their first confrontation, Mysterio has Peter get crushed by a fallen statue. Said statue is of Captain America, intimating Beck's desire to usurp the deceased members of Earth's Mightiest Heroes as a key part of the team, but there's something much darker that follows.

Beck whisks Peter to Tony Stark's grave, at which point the corpse of Iron Man rises and proceeds to attack the web-slinger. The visuals there are very Marvel Zombies in nature, and should give fans pause for thought at the prospect of more zombie-based Marvel stuff to come...
