Easter Eggs You Missed In Spider-Man Far From Home
Description
After the emotionally draining epic that was Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home swung into theaters to offer some sweet relief to the legions of Marvel fans looking for a superhero fix with slightly smaller stakes. Far From Home delivered all the heart, thrills, and goofiness we've come to expect since Tom Holland took over the spandex in 2016's Captain America: Civil War. But there are a lot of little touches in Far From Home you probably missed.
A mighty Earth Elemental wreaks some serious havoc in Mexico during the cold opening of Far From Home, so we don't blame you if didn't catch the super-nerdy clue the filmmakers briefly put on screen to herald its arrival. A license plate with only "463" visible appears briefly near Nick Fury and Maria Hill when the Elemental pops up. This is likely a nod to Amazing Spider-Man #4 from September 1963, the issue that introduced the world to the Earth-based villain Sandman.
Sound like a stretch? Well, Marvel already snuck a few license-plate-based Easter eggs into the Far From Home trailers that didn't make the theatrical cut of the film. Before the water Elemental attack is teased in the first "Official Teaser Trailer" from January 2019, for example, there was a boat in the background with "ASM 212" on the side. It's almost certainly a reference to Amazing Spider-Man #212, the issue that introduced Spidey's "wet threat": Hydro-Man. Flash Thompson even tells his classmates about a guy who got water powers named "Morris Bench" that he read about on the Internet — another clear reference to the comic book alter-ego of Hydro-Man.
But that's not all! In a London-based clip seen in the "Official Trailer" from May 2019, a car with the license plate "2865 SEP" appears. This probably refers to Amazing Spider-Man #28 from September 1965, which marked the debut of the fire villain Molten Man. This particular UK plate was cut from the final film, but a similar plate number pops up in Prague in the theatrical cut: ASM 28965, for Issue #28, September 1965.
