Tom Holland Confirms That Peter Parker Appeared in Iron Man 2
- Thread starter LordOfLore
- Start date
He says Kevin Feige told him.
I blame the alternate opening with Cap's body and shield for the theories about Thor

I don't see how this hurts anything.
A kid who fancies themselves a super hero growing up in queens who was alive during the events of Iron Man 2 being shown to have idolized and met Tony. What's wrong with any of that?
Nothing, but it wasn't planned until 5 min ago. If they want to make up now, good for me.
Of course there bloody wasn't.
I don't think anyone seriously believes this was some crazy calculated intentional foreshadowing on the film-makers part. It's just a cute fan retcon Feige and Holland might want to make canon, like Rex from Clone Wars/Rebels being in Return of the Jedi.
Fricken amazing
I mean, it's fine if Feige decides to retcon this and create extra hype for the next spiderman movie but it's a bit odd this pops up out of nowhere, like has nobody asked him this prior to today?

I need this to be referenced in Homecoming just so that we can get a NeoGaf thread devoted to going through previous MCU films looking for background characters that could be "turned" into major characters.
Martin Starr plays Amadeus Cho in Norton's Hulk.
But we already know that this is Robin
Guys what if this is Robin
Reminder, Ty Burrell played Doc Samson too

It's bullshit. I think he's just excited and maybe a compulsive liar.
Back then there was 0% of Spider-Man ever appearing in MCU, they're trying to take credit because it can't be disproved.
Nah, Iron Man 2 wasn't terrible.
It was a flawed and overly busy film but "terrible" is a description that belongs to X3 or Fantastic Four or Suicide Squad.
It is possible for movies to fall somewhere in between "terrible" and "amazing."
Oh god that awful accent is in my head now.
it ain't that fucking serious

Well yeah, I don't think Holland is trying to suggest it was planned from the get go or anything.
I'm not sure I get the joke in the context of my post you are quoting.

So who was the kid in the first Spider Man movie that almost got crushed during the Green Goblin attack?
I agree. It's pointless and stupid, don't know why they're even bothering saying it.

The glove is an Iron Man costume glove. Watch the scene. The kid has zero to do with Spider Man
Eh.
EDIT: Oh damn, that glove.

Stupid retcon, but whatever
Yeah, there's nothing about that kid that says Peter Parker to me.
No shit. Thanks for spelling that out for me, professor.

Hes obviously joking. You think he was ACTUALLY on the phone just prior talking about whether the kid in a movie from 2010 is Peter Parker? Like that just came up in conversation?

Well, it's six years before he got bitten by a spider, so yeah, it would be pretty odd if he was pretending to have spider powers instead of iron man powers at that point.
How many times are you going to try calming Neogaf down? You do it in every fanboy thread, and it never works!
holy shit
i loaded up my copy real quick and checked - yes, you can clearly hear a woman scream "Peter!" at 1:38:30, about a minute before Peter is shown on screen
#itsallconnected you guys
it does seem that tom holland really loves being spider-man

The hole goes even deeper:

You can hear a woman yelling "Peter!" right after this time stamp. The scene with the kid is less than a minute later.
EDIT: I see I'm late on pointing this out, but the clip is here at least...this is some nth dimensional planning.

Neat twist to add to that scene, I like it!
Although it mostly means means next time I watch it, rather than saying 'I kinda wish the hammerbot shot that annoying child.' I'll instead be more 'well, at least Peter ended up being Spiderman and thus using that annoyingness for good.'.

When they finally calm down damn it!
That sounded like he was joking though.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I agree that too often the internet lumps things into one of those two categories, but Tony's central dilemma could have been solved with an extension cord.
It's definitely terrible.

It's super cheesey, annoying and done for a cheap emotional pull on the heart strings by having a kid act like a complete plank that makes no sense in context.
Meanwhile, though completely out of step with the rest of the movies tone and narrative momentum, the robot just casually wasting him and then no further reference to the character being made by anyone is a darkly humorous, absurdist hypothetical that would have subverted expectations had it happened, even if it would have objectively ruined the film.
It's a choice between the shit reality of the bad scene we got, and mild amusement at the thought of a horrible but entertainingly ridiculous alternative.
There, now hopefully next time you're exposed to dark senses of humour, you'll be less confused by them!
