The “Iron Man” sequel in 2010 may not be the best of the franchise, but it did provide fans a subtle hint of things to come.

A seemingly minor scene near the film’s end saw Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) save a young boy wearing an Iron Man mask at the Stark Expo.

The youngster boldly stood up against the menacing Hammer Drone, before the metal-bound hero exclaimed: “Nice work, kid.”

Years later, fans are still speculating that the kid is actually a young Peter Parker a.k.a. Spiderman—who will be played by Tom Holland in the upcoming “Spiderman: Homecoming” set to be released next week.

Recently, the actor himself laid to rest the claims and confirmed that the Peter Parker cameo theory is indeed true.
