Trivia & background
- The airport duel was built almost entirely digitally — Spider-Man's MCU debut was kept secret until the premiere.
🥚 Easter eggs & references
- The Zemo twist hides early: 'Mission report, December 16, 1991' — the date of Tony's parents' murder.
- Peter's Empire Strikes Back tactic against Giant-Man: he cites the AT-AT scene verbatim.
📍 Filming locations
- The airport fight: Leipzig/Halle Airport — the most famous German Marvel location.
- Bucharest, Berlin and Vienna on screen — mostly shot in Atlanta and Leipzig; the Vienna bombing scene is Atlanta.
