7) Revamped Avengers Facility
After Tony Stark moved the Avengers’ main HQ away from Avengers Tower to a new facility upstate in Age of Ultron, we weren’t sure what would become of the skyscraper. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, it’s revealed that Stark has sold the Tower and the facility has been made the permanent and only base for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. It’s also undergone a spiffy new redesign.
This suggests that we’ve seen the last of the iconic MCU location, first unveiled back in The Avengers. From now on, the new Avengers facility – which was featured prominently in Captain America: Civil War – will only get more screen time. Though considering Avengers: Infinity War will likely take the heroes into space, maybe it won’t.
Likewise, Spider-Man: Homecoming also reveals some juicy details about Tony Stark’s love life. After Civil War told us that Tony and Pepper were taking a break, fans thought that was going to be it for the MCU’s original power couple, due to Gwyneth Paltrow’s contract coming to an end. Thankfully, the actress made a fun cameo here, confirming that Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts are still a thing. And what’s more, they might have got engaged to boot!
It’s unknown if Paltrow will return again for Avengers: Infinity War, but the fact that Tony once again has Pepper in his life could affect the decisions he makes going forward, at the very least.
