Spider-Man: Far From Home Trailer - 11 Easter Eggs And References You Totally Missed
7. The Ramones Return
Speaking of continuing trends, Far From Home's music choice also harkens back to Homecoming, with the Ramones providing the beat for most of the teaser.
Coming from their 1978 album Road to Ruin, I Wanna Be Sedated brings the perfect soundtrack for Peter's continued development as a superhero, especially with the added dimension of him now going abroad. There's also potential for the lyrics to hold a deeper meaning too, with Mysterio being fond of mind games, but let's not get ahead of ourselves too quickly.
Oh, and for good measure, it's also worth noting that Watts' films don't mark the first collaboration between the band and Marvel's wall-crawler. The group actually recorded a version of the sixties Spider-Man theme in 1995 and, just like Peter, are also from Queens.
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.
