Last summer, after Marvel's big blockbuster played by Tom Holland, is left to face another immense threat, the Elementals, whilst on his summer vacation. Teaming up with Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and newcomer Quentin Beck, aka Mysterio, Parker battles to stop the multiverse villains.
Now, over a year on from its release, many fans are still finding more new easter eggs hidden in the film. From numerous license plates to subtle references, comic fans will be pleased to find tons of Peter Parker details dotted throughout the film, so here are our ten details only comic fans will know.
Uncle Ben's Suitcase
At the beginning of the film, as Peter prepares to leave for his vacation, director Jon Watts decided to opt for a funny montage scene. Here, we see Parker get ready for his summer trip across Europe, he plans his romantic endeavors with Zendaya's MJ, he attends a fundraiser with Aunt May, but most importantly he packs his suitcase, and it's on this suitcase where some sharp-eyed fans noticed an intriguing detail.
On Peter's suitcase are the initials "BFP", which are perhaps the initials of Uncle Ben. Although he hasn't been mentioned as yet in the MCU, Uncle Ben has always been an integral part of Spidey's story, and some fans even think Parker alluded to his Uncle's death back in Captain America Civil War, leaving us to believe the suitcase did belong to Benjamin Parker.
Fury's License Plate
After discovering Mysterio's deep secret, Parker desperately tries to caught in Mysterio's incredible illusion, Parker drives a car with the license plate "MTU83797". This like many Marvel easter eggs is in fact a direct mention towards the comics.
Referencing the comic Marvel Team-Up No.83 from July 1979, which sees the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man forces with another hero. It just so happens that in this issue Spiderman teams up with Nick Fury.
The Classic Suit
After his unfortunate train hit thanks to Mysterio's clever illusions, Peter ends up in the Netherlands. Luckily for the hero, Happy Hogan, played by Jon Favreau, comes to the rescue, healing his wounds, and giving him some superhero motivation. Then, in a scene powered by some Tony Stark style AC/DC, Parker gets the chance to make himself a brand new suit using Stark's machines.
As he flicks through the options, he goes past the Iron Spider suit used in Endgame, but also, as a surprise for comic fans, viewers can catch a quick glimpse of a very classic, spider dominant suit from the comics. Built by Tony Stark before the comic version of Civil War, the suit was also dubbed the Iron Spider and was made with the ability to do everything the Iron Man's suit could do.
The New Suit
In his first appearance for Marvel Comics, Spiderman made a swinging entrance with the iconic Amazing Fantasy No. 15. In the classic comic, Peter Parker, a shy high school student receives the famous radioactive spider bite whilst attending General Techtronics Laboratories East. It's here where Parker's superhero journey begins as he inherits his spider-like enhanced abilities.
In Spiderman Far From Home, Peter is clearly inspired by the original as he creates his first very own suit donning the classic red and black color scheme. Although the suit originally appeared red and black in the comics, fans have only seen the suit portrayed as red and blue in previous Spiderman films causing a pleasant surprise in last year's sequel.
First Kiss
In the MCU's version of Spiderman and MJ, both characters are adorably awkward together, and it's no different in the latest installment of the franchise. After the film's climax, the two come together and finally it their true feelings to each other in what was a very romantic, yet awkward, moment, but it's something comic fans have already seen before.
In Amazing Spiderman No. 143, Peter travels to Europe, this time to Paris, where just before boarding the two share a romantic kiss. Just as in Far From Home, where Peter and MJ finally kiss on Tower Bridge after successfully defeating Mysterio. It's an incredibly sweet moment and an even better one for fans of the comics.
E.D.I.T.H.
Following Tony Stark's surprise death at the end of Avengers Endgame, Peter Parker was given a parting gift from the billionaire philanthropist himself. In typical Tony Stark fashion, Spiderman was left with a pair of high-tech glasses named E.D.I.T.H., suitably named after "Even dead I am the hero". The glasses, which became the McGuffin of the story, gave him access to Stark industries' satellites and a huge collection of drones.
But what many fans didn't realize is that the glasses were likely named after a woman Stark's father once dated called Edith Oberon. Unlike Tony's other technology such as Jarvis and Friday, there is no comic book alternative to the E.D.I.T.H. glasses, so it's no surprise many viewers believe she might have been the inspiration.
Universal Numbers
In the Marvel multiverse, each universe has a specific number. In Spiderman Far From Home, when we first met Quentin Beck in the film, he tells Peter he's from Earth-833, whereas Peter is from Earth-616. In the comics, this has some significant meaning for the film. On Earth-833, Spiderman is actually Spider-UK, and he shares a universe with the UK's very own Captain Britain.
Just like the elementals, Captain Britain's powers are drawn from interdimensional energies, and in the comics, Captain Britain was one of the first storylines to focus on the crazy Marvel multiverse. Although it was later revealed Mysterio was lying about his origins, it's still interesting to see how the writers came up with the villain's back story.
Brad Davis
Thanks to the catastrophic consequences of Avengers Endgame and the five-year time jump, Peter's class is now mixed with students five years younger than him, the main one being romantic rival Brad Davis. In some hilarious scenes, the pair seem to compete with each other for MJ's affection throughout the movie, and even though Peter comes out on top, Brad proved to be some tough competition.
In fact, a similar thing happened in 1963's Amazing Spiderman No. 188. Here, after Peter and MJ's short-lived relationship, MJ decides to bring Brad Davis with her on a cruise, where Peter was also invited. However, unlike the film, Davis had a particularly short role in the comics, only appearing in that very issue.
The Mets
Once again, it's hard to believe that the MCU's version of Spiderman is yet to mention Uncle Ben in his first two movies, considering how important a role he plays in Parker's life and particularly his motivations to fight crime. But, just like the suitcase mentioned earlier, the film does have a hidden reference to Uncle Ben.
In Peter's bedroom, some sharp-eyed fans noticed a Mets' Mike Piazza jersey hanging on his wall. In the comics, Peter would regularly watch Mets' games with Uncle Ben and continued to do so even after his death, so it was extremely nice for comic readers to see a little reference to their relationship in the action blockbuster.
Aunt May's License Plate
Following his exhausting final battle with the master illusionist Mysterio in London, Peter is finally re-united with Aunt May outside the airport back in New York. In what was a heartwarming reunion, fans once again noticed a hidden easter egg in May's very own car. Just like before, also representing a comic book.
The license plate reads "AMF1562" referencing Amazing Fantasy No. 15 1962, which as we mentioned earlier, was Spidey's first-ever comic book appearance. It's a nice way to end the film, reminding us of the first time we met both characters was way back in 1962.
