Cool but why did people speculate it was Peter?

Cuz people gotta speculate EVERYTHING

 

[Strangelove77]

More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol

How perceptive.

If you squint hard you can see a toddler Kamala Khan in the crowd

 

[Neoxon]

Huh? I don't get it. They decided to link a random kid in IM2 to spiderman? So? 'It's like poetry'? Wat?

He grew up looking up to Tony, & the Stark Expo does go down in Queens, so it makes sense.

 

[chrisPjelly]

That's a little bit of a retcoincidence

Spoiler

yes I made that word up

, but it'd be cool if they worked this tidbit into the story.

Mavel Lawyers: "Peter Parker did not make an official apperience in Iron Man 2"

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

“I can confirm that as of today. I literally had a conversation with Kevin Feige only 20 minutes ago. Maybe I’ve just done a big, old spoiler, but it’s out there now,” said Holland.

I thought you guys would be able to tell he's joking.

 

[takriel]

What about the kid from Iron Man 3?

 

[Kyne]

Eh.

EDIT: Oh damn, that glove.

dat glove/hoodie tho.

'Next week in 'Convenient RetCons': Is that Doctor Strange's grandfather's shadow in Captain America: The First Avenger?'

Oh wow...

No wonder he idolizes Tony

 

[Erv]

Ehhh don't believe it

 

[DeathyBoy]

Uh, guys, is it really a retcon when they never named the kid?

 

[Superflat]

Egh, an easter egg in what I consider to be one of the worst MCU films, and will probably never revisit.

The kid seemed pretty dumb, not sure how he grew up to be Peter Parker

 

[FantasyFreak07]

Sure, let's go with that.

 

[Lulubop]

Ehhh don't believe it

It's literally canon now.

 

[Twig and Berries]

What about the kid from Iron Man 3?

Everyone knows that's Sam Alexander

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Uh, guys, is it really a retcon when they never named the kid?

Yes.

There is no way I can believe that was intended as Peter Parker when they filmed the scene, so they're now retconning it to be him.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Retcons aren't inherently bad

 

[strafer]

What about the kid from Iron Man 3?

He went on to get chased by dinosaurs in Jurassic World.

In “Spider-Man 3,” Tobey becomes evil Spider-Man and dances down the street. I know you have some dance skills. Who would win between you two in a dance-off?

It would have to be me, judging from his dance skills in that movie. I can confidently say it would be me.

Producer Amy Pascal said Tom Hardy’s “Venom” movie is in the “Spider-Man” universe. Then Kevin Feige said it’s not. But what would it be like if you took on Tom Hardy as Venom?

I don’t even want to imagine it because it’s never going to happen, but it would be pretty cool. It would be pretty cool.

Thought this was interesting.

lol, the first comment!

 

[Principate]

Uh, guys, is it really a retcon when they never named the kid?

Absolutely with 100% certainty. If the Sony deal had not gone through we would have heard the name of the that kid, hell they woukd have had to deny it was peter if push came to shove becauae of Sony's lawyers.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I legit love this.

lol, the first comment!

Well damn, that's amazing, lol.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Thought this was interesting.

I feel like you could edit that question to this:

What would it be like if you teamed up with Marvel's Daredevil?

I don’t even want to imagine it because it’s never going to happen, but it would be pretty cool. It would be pretty cool.

And the answer is still accurate.

 

[digitalrelic]

Eh.

EDIT: Oh damn, that glove.

I wonder if they'll revisit this scene as a flashback or something in Homecoming.

 

[LionPride]

Retcons aren't bad because they're retcons guys

 

[moltonasty]

Thought this was interesting.

Interesting and disappointing. What's the point of having Venom if Spidey's not even part of the story lol

 

[CountAntonius]

Cute easter egg. Retconned or not I don't give a flying fuck.

 

[Skilletor]

I never knew this was a theory, but almost every comment on that vid is saying the same thing.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol

This. Still cool though.

 

[Squire]

More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol

Seriously. This shit is such an eye-roller.

 

[ZeoVGM]

the comments on this over a year old totally predicting this!

Haha. That's great.

 

[plainr_]

I love this.

It's canon now.

 

[Baron Von Beans]

that seems dumb

Very

 

[pixelation]

More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol

This, it's oh so convenient...

 

[ZeoVGM]

Very

Oh guys, relax.

This is most likely just a silly answer and not legitimately going to be shown through a flashback in Homecoming. It's really not a big deal.

 

[JayCB]

There's a joke in here somewhere about Tony having a hand in Peter's costume even way back then and GAF moaning about it.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I feel like you could edit that question to this:

On the contrary, I feel you can edit that question into this...

What was it like teaming up with Charlie Cox for the third season of Marvel's Daredevil?

Oh, it was awesome. I really loved working with Charlie and the rest of those Defenders guys back when we were shooting Infinity War...so it was really nice to continue the relationship between Peter and Matt Murdock in a sort of television environment. Murdock definitely has reservations about Peter becoming a superhero at such a young age, but as the same time, he also comes to serve as something as a mentor for Peter as the more experienced hero. I can't wait for people to see the finished episode, it's going to be brilliant.

Doctor: SpaceWolf seems to have gotten away from us, Jack.
Doctor 2: I'm afraid you're right, Mr Helpmann. He's gone.

(Serene Humming)

 

[inky]

LOL, yeah sure.

With how crazy people go over statements like this I'm surprised they don't do it more often. I remember this ridiculous theory people had (even here on GAF) about that one truck driver in TWS being the Punisher or some idiotic shit like that.

Sure, it was him. And Miles was that kid in the car from Iron Man 1. Everybody go nuts!

 

[bananafactory]

Come on Feige just get it over with and reveal that Tony is Peter's real dad already.

 

[Mariolee]

I thought you guys would be able to tell he's joking.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like this is actually a thing. Kevin Feige is probably like, "How many Spider-Man news story fires am I going to have to put out this week?"

 

[888]

More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol

I am in this boat. I don't think there was any Sony talks back that far.

 

[mnannola]

Couldn't they just pick any random kid from those movies and say that was Peter? I don't see the kid doing anything special there. Maybe I am missing something?

 

[Archpath1]

they better have included that iron man mask somewhere in his closet in Homecoming.

 

[bananafactory]

Couldn't they just pick any random kid from those movies and say that was Peter?

Thats what they did

 

[Fancyarcher]

Dat retcon, think I saw this coming. "Hey Mr. Stark didn't we before, once when I was young?"

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol

Yeah, but itsallconnected.gif and itsgenius.gif is a better story

 

[Jack Scofield]

I thought Peter Parker is supposed to be a genius? That kid was dumb as rocks.
