Spider-Man: Homecoming - Every Secret You Need To Know

4. Principal Morita

If you had the nagging feeling that Peter's high school principal looked familiar, that was with good reason. Principal Morita was played by Kenneth Choi, the very same actor who played Howling Commando Jim Morita in Captain America: The First Avenger.

Considering that the principal had a picture of Jim in his office, it's a pretty reasonable deduction that he's the grandson of the soldier, providing a neat, fun link back seven decades, and because it's so unobtrusive, it doesn't seem overly contrived or convenient.

While we probably won't see any more of this family line in the MCU, it'd still be great to see other crucial family dynasties from the past tease their modern-day descendants, if they can keep it as subtle as this, of course.
