* ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'':
** The first thing we see of Peter's lawyer is a hand on a white cane. The shot pans out to reveal Matt Murdock from the MCU's discontinued Netflix branch, making his way into the canonical MCU mere days after his nemesis the Kingpin did likewise in ''Hawkeye''.
** After Ned's wish to see Peter again opens a sling ring portal, he and MJ see Spider-Man in the distance. They call out to him, and as he approaches it slowly becomes clear that he sports the distinctive gigantic eyes of the Webb-verse Spider-Man, who promptly unmasks to reveal the face of Andrew Garfield. A few minutes later, Ned tries again, and the next portal opens to inevitably reveal Raimi-verse Peter Parker.
** The mid-credits scene mostly seems like an extended gag... until the final shot, which shows that a spawn of the Venom Symbiote stayed behind... and it starts ''moving''.

* Toward the end of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', as Thor leaves the throne room, Odin is revealed to be Loki in disguise.
* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', Steve gets into a fight with the titular antagonist and rips his mask off. Cue a shot of the unmasked Winter Soldier looking back at Steve revealing him to be Bucky Barnes.

* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', the [[OnceMoreWithClarity third and final time]] we return to the mission that formed the ActionPrologue, we finally see that the people in the car were Howard and Maria Stark.

* The final OnceMoreWithClarity flashback in ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' is a Wham ''Scene'', but two shots in particular are notable -- first, Carol bleeds from her nose after her plane crashes, and her blood is ''red'', proving she's human, not Kree. Second is when Mar-Vell's killer steps out of the fog, and it's not a Skrull; it's [[EvilAllAlong Carol's supposed friend, Yon-Rogg]].
