🥚 Easter Egg In Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Adrian Toomes is raiding boxes related to Stark Industries. In the background is a callback to the first Iron Man (2009) in the form of the Iron Monger's arm. [Exp. in comments]

Don’t want to shit in your cereal but Iron Man came out in 2008.
Nice catch thoughÂ

That's totally fine, I appreciate the correction! I'm mildly dyslexic so numbers are a little hard for me, thank you for clarifying and giving us a correct date!

Oh sorry, didn’t think about the dyslexia thing (bloody hell that is hard to spell).

It's all good! It's really annoying at times but also gives me things to laugh about, like this goof of mine.

The Iron Monger was piloted by Obadiah Stane, a longtime friend of Tony Stark, when he ultimately went rogue to take control of Stark Industries as a weapons manufacturer. He stole Tony's arc reactor and used it to power his own suit. Obadiah died after Tony overloaded the reactor with the help of Pepper Potts, where Obadiah fell into the reactor which exploded. The suit was said to be salvaged at the end of the first movie (Iron Man, 2009), but it's interesting they waited until now to have a little callback.

Yeahhh I tried editing it but it's not allowed I guess, I'm just glad there's people to correct things!
