Much like every other McU movie before it, Spider-Man: Far From Home is packed to the rafters with Easter eggs and blink-and-you’ll-miss-them references to Marvel Comics.
It’s a genuine love letter to New York’s web-slinger, and credit must go to Jon Watts and screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who together introduced a post-Endgame McU with one or two twists along the way. They also honored the McU’s legacy with scores of callbacks and references to previous installments – to say more would be verging on spoiler territory – and it seems they maintained that mindset behind the lens, too.
Case in point: the casting of Dawn Michelle King as E.D.I.T.H., Tony Stark’s AI-powered assistant that’s left in the possession of Peter Parker himself. The moniker itself takes on a whole new meaning thanks to Far From Home‘s first post-credits scene,...

The 2015 Ee BAFTA Awards were handed out in London Sunday night and while the broadcast aired hours later in the United States, it didn't stop us from chronicling the twists and turns of a show often seen as a bellwether for the Academy Awards. It took home only three BAFTAs, but "Boyhood" was the biggest winner of the night as it won Best Film and Richard Linklater earned Director honors. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" took home five statues including Original Screenplay for Wes Anderson, Production Design, Costumes, Original Music and Make Up & Hair. "Whiplash" earned three BAFTAs including J.K. Simmons for Supporting Actor, Editing and a somewhat surprising win in Sound. Expected Oscar winners Julianne Moore took Leading Actress and Patricia Arquette took Supporting Actress. Eddie Redmayne earned a key win over rival Michael Keaton by claiming the Lead Actor BAFTA for "The Theory of Everything." The latter also won...
