\n\u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming\u201d brings Peter Parker (Tom Holland) officially into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, adding to the story told in \u201cCaptain America: Civil War\u201d and creating more crossovers with the Avengers. The movie\u2019s full of character Easter Eggs too, dropping well-known Spider-Man comics characters into roles throughout Peter\u2019s life.
There\u2019s another Easter Egg character hidden in the life of Peter Parker as well, with a hidden tie to the world of Captain America (Chris Evans) . And it\u2019s not the videos Cap appears in to tell kids about exercise or sexual education \u2014 it\u2019s Peter\u2019s principal.
Eagle-eyed audience members might have caught a few clues in the office of Principal Morita (Kenneth Choi) , who has a scene in which he warns Peter about keeping his academic career on track. In the corner of Morita\u2019s office is a black-and-white photo of a military serviceman. That\u2019s actually another Morita \u2014 Private Jim Morita, one of the Captain America\u2019s Howling Commandos from \u201cCaptain America: The First Avenger.\u201d
The Howling Commandos were a group of World War II soldiers Cap recruited during that movie. Cap helped rescue Morita (also played by Choi) and other prisoners from a HYDRA weapons facility.
Morita later joined up with the Howling Commandos, led by Captain America, to return to the front lines and take on HYDRA. As a communications officer, Morita worked as the radio man for the Howling Commandos.
In addition to being a part of the team during \u201cCaptain America: The First Avenger\u201d and helping to capture the Tesseract, an artifact that was also a huge part of the plot in \u201cThe Avengers, \u201d Morita was also part of the group with S. H. I. E. L. D. Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) that captured another important Marvel Cinematic Universe artifact. That object was the Obelisk, a deadly item the Howling Commandos took from HYDRA during World War II that HYDRA agents would attempt to steal back on \u201cAgents of S. H. I. E. L. D.\u201d
After Cap apparently \u201cdied\u201d in the 1940s, Dum Dugan (Neal McDonough) took over the Howling Commandos and continued to fight. Captain America would later find out from S. H. I. E. L. D. files that Morita was killed during the war.
Whether Principal Morita\u2019s role as a descendant of one of Captain America\u2019s crack commandos will factor into later \u201cSpider-Man\u201d movies isn\u2019 t clear. But at the least, Morita is another Easter Egg that ties the Marvel Cinematic Universe together.
