Trivia: SPOILER: Prior to his appearance here, John Krasinski was a popular fan pick to portray the MCU version of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic. His wife Emily Blunt has also been a popular fan pick to play Reed's wife Susan Storm/Invisible Woman.

Trivia: Will Smith won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in the film. However, his award was overshadowed by an altercation with Chris Rock earlier in the evening, which saw Smith slap Rock in the face after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith (which Will initially laughed at). As a result, Smith was given a 10-year ban from the Oscars ceremony, and also lost consideration for upcoming film roles.

Suggested correction: The Spider-man trilogy aren't technically MCU films although Spiderman has appeared in MCU films and characters from MCU have appeared in this. As Spider-man is still own by Sony...at this point its just character cross-overs and little else. MCU still don't have full ownership of Spider-man yet.

Gavin Jackson

That's incorrect. All 3 films were co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios and distributed by Sony. Tom Holland's Spider-Man IS part of the MCU because Sony shared the rights to the character and the films are not only set in the MCU, but part of the franchise. It should be noted that Marvel Studios and the MCU are two separate things. The MCU doesn't really own anything because it's the setting, not the company.
