Vote up your favorite Easter eggs from Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is hands-down the best Spider-Man film, which is not surprising as the Webslinger is now in the very capable hands of Marvel Studios. And of course, like all comic book movies, there is no shortage of Easter eggs in Spider-Man: Homecoming. And the references arenot just to the source material, but to the larger MCU, and there are even a couple references to the previous Spidey movies.
Now that your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has been added to the MCU, they've got some catching up to do in terms of fully integrating him. While it might seem a little heavy-handed at the outset, Homecoming quickly figures out how to balance a solo Spider-Man film while still flawlessly connecting his story to the larger universe. And it is flawless.
Take a look at the most noteworthy Spider-Man: Homecoming Easter eggs. Oh, and, just so you know, Stan Lee isn't in here. Because that one's a bit on the nose.

An even more notable scientist makes a brief appearance as well in Peter's classroom. Or at least a picture of him does. Above the whiteboard at the front of the room are portraits of notable scientists, and the very last one is the guy that turns into a giant green rage monster.

Karen, Peter's J.A.R.V.I.S.

Once Ned disables the "Training Wheels Protocol" from Peter's suit, he discovers that it has an AI just like Tony's Iron Man suits. Pete hilariously dubs his AI Karen, who is voiced by Jennifer Connelly. Why is this interesting? Because in real life she's married to Paul Bettany, who of course voiced J.A.R.V.I.S. and now plays the Vision.
Megawhoosawhat?! Megingjörð. You know, Thor's magic belt. Happy Hogan is transporting some high-value items via cargo plane in Homecoming, and double checks to see if "Meg-- Meg-- Thor's magic belt" is on board. This belt has the power to double Thor's strength. So it's kind of a big deal.

Miles Morales's Uncle

A few years back, Donald Glover campaigned pretty passionately to play Miles Morales, a new Spider-Man as of 2011. Well, Donald came close. He got the role of Aaron Davis, Miles Morales's uncle. He even references having a nephew in the movie. Does that mean we'll see Miles at some point in the MCU?!
Another interesting tidbit about Aaron Davis is that in the books, he's a villain who goes by the name of the Prowler. That's why Aaron's interest is piqued when he's buying illegal weapons and some advanced climbing equipment is on the menu.
One of Toomes's nefarious associates is Mac Gargan, or the Scorpion, as is apparent by the scorpion tattoo on his neck. What's particularly notable about him is that, along with the Vulture, he is a member of (one iteration of) the Sinister Six, and given that he mentions friends who are interested in taking down Spidey as well, he could very well be alluding to other future supervillains. A Sinister Six movie has been in Sony's sights for years, and we may finally have the foundation for one.

Howard Stark And Dr. Abraham Erskine

There's a mural in Peter's high school depicting real and fictional historical figures. Not only is Howard Stark clearly shown, but Dr. Erskine - the man who turned Steve Rogers into Captain America - is also on the mural. You'll have to have a quick eye to spot the latter in the film, though. He comes and goes faster than Pete's Spidey Sense can catch.
