I am in this boat. I don't think there was any Sony talks back that far.
I thought Peter Parker is supposed to be a genius? That kid was dumb as rocks.
HE'S LIKE SEVEN
Eh.
EDIT: Oh damn, that glove.
Yeah will Tony probably built a toaster that could cure cancer by that age

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 might Feige and Holland want to make canon, like Rex from Clone Wars/Rebels being in Return of the Jedi.
It's absolutely a retcon if there was no solid expectation that Spider-Man would ever be in the MCU and they weren't actually trying to make that a Peter Parker moment when making the movie back in the dayUh, guys, is it really a retcon when they never named the kid?
Still retroactively trying to make Iron Man 2 less terrible.

Wait WHAT
He doesn't WANT to cure cancer.... he wants to turn people into dinosaurs! But your point stands.
Retcons aren't inherently bad
He grew up looking up to Tony, & the Stark Expo does go down in Queens, so it makes sense.
Correct.
Hell, the Winter Soldier himself is a pretty huge retcon, for example.
More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol
How so?
The Winter Soldier is a retcon to Bucky dying in WW2
(I await Slayven coming in to tell me I'm wrong)
Scarlett Johansson's stunt double doing wirefu wrestling moves was kinda hype.

All the action in the movie is quite good. That and Sam Rockwell are it's only real strong points.
they signed him for 9 films, the first was TFA
At first I was like "but that kid was really little there's no way he could grow up already to Peter's age". Then I remembered Iron Man 2 came out 7 years ago already.
Also honestly this isn't a huge deal or anything like that. It's just a retcon that turns some extra into Parker
Imagine being that guy and realizing you sort of played Spiderman in a movie.The actress that played the kid is ~18 years old.
Yup, was confirmed. Fun little nod. IIRC there's a mock-up of Rex with that gear on too.
just to add some more fun to this, there was a woman yelling Peter in the chaos a few scenes before that.
And it was Marissa Tomei, uncredited.
Did Bucky die in a way in the comics that was unambiguous, or did it play out in a similar way to the films where they left enough room for him to come back?
they better have included that iron man mask somewhere in his closet in Homecoming.
Eh.

People who poo-poo this must think these movies are based on true stories. It's all fiction. the author's original intent is meaningless. TV shows must drive you insane.
