This is an especially interesting Easter-egg as Tom Holland who portrays Spiderman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a huge fan of Tottenham Hotspur. This could very well be a huge Easter-egg related to this fact. However, this is not the first Son and Spiderman connection we have seen. Interestingly and ironically, one time, Son did a Spiderman celebration on the soccer pitch.

Tom Holland inspired Son’s celebration

In December 2021, a meeting between Tom Holland and Son Heung-min left its mark on Tottenham’s soccer team. Only days after the encounter, Spurs debuted their new form of celebration when they won 3-0 against Norwich City.

When Son Heung-min scored the third goal, Spurs players ran to huddle together using the iconic Spiderman pose in their jubilation. Now it looks like the special Easter egg in the new Spiderman movie seems to pay homage to this unique connection.
