It's confirmed. Spider-Man made its first appearance in the MCU back in 2010.
Tom Holland plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the official Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. After years of legal battle with movie studios, the web-slinging superhero finally made his first featured appearance in 2016's "Captain America: Civil War" and he will get his own movie later this year with Spiderman: Homecoming".
However, the actor who played Spidey has confirmed a long-held fan theory that Peter Parker – aka Spider-Man – had a secret cameo way back in 2010 in the movie Iron Man 2.
The superhero’s short appearance in the 2010 film has been a popular theory among Marvel fans ever since its release seven years ago. Parker’s cameo is thought to come at the moment a young boy in an Iron Man mask stands up to a villain– only to be saved by Iron Man seconds later. Iron Man then thanked the boy by quipping: “Nice work, kid.”
Watch it below.
Speaking to the HuffPost, Holland confirmed the fan theory once and for all.
“I can confirm that as of today, I literally had a conversation with [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige only 20 minutes ago. Maybe I’ve just done a big, old spoiler, but it’s out there now.)
“It’s cool. I like the idea that Peter Parker has been in the universe since the beginning.”
