Retconning
Many feel that this isn’t an actual Easter egg, but we believe that it’s just the beginning. The Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline changed with Spider-Man: Homecoming. We feel that this Easter egg can be traced back to when Doctor Strange used the Eye of Agamotto to play with Time.
It’s all related to the eight years that followed the events of Avengers. That places Homecoming in 2020. But it also takes place a couple of months after the Civil War, and that was in 2016, according to previous statements from Marvel and Vision.
What does that mean for the future? We think that the confusion is just beginning. However, we’re certain that it will all end with Spider-Man: Homecoming 2. Better yet, we’re certain that it will all end once Thanos is permanently defeated and the influence of the Infinity Stones disappears.
