Spider-Man: Homecoming - 45 Easter Eggs & References You Probably Missed

30. Civil War In School

Captain America Civil War Trailer Sokovia Accords

As Marvel are always keen to prove, the major events of the MCU send out real-world shockwaves that impact social, political and cultural arenas. Not only are the heroes of Marvel's past also the pillars of their chosen fields (as in Banner, Stark and Erskine), but the exploits of the Avengers were so notable that they've become part of the school curriculum.

In the background of one of Peter's classes, you can clearly hear a horribly disinterested history teacher talking about the Sokovia Accords.

There's another reference too: when Hannibal Buress' hilarious Coach Wilson introduces Cap's Physical Education Challenge video, he introduces it with a casual "I'm pretty sure that guys a war criminal now."
