* DawsonCasting: Laura Harrier was 26 at the time of filming, playing the high-school student Liz Allan. It actually became a point of criticism as next to the much more convincing Tom Holland, the age difference really sticks out.
* DeletedScene:
** Extended footage of Peter Parker's blog during his trip to Berlin, including scenes of him bringing his homework to Berlin, discovering he has a television in his bathroom, and also one where he, as Spider-Man, goes to a Berlin nightclub and hangs out with the other party-goers, allowing a few of the girls an opportunity to be swung from his webs. He also inadvertently ends up saving the chancellor and is dubbed as "Der Erstaunliche Klebrige Junge"[[note]]Loosely "The Amazing Young Boy"[[/note]] by the German media.
** Peter explains to the other debate club meetings that he has no choice but to drop out of the Academic Decathlon, citing that Flash Thompson would be a suitable replacement. The other students heckle Peter by throwing food at him, and Peter has a conversation with Liz.
** After having his backpack and his clothes stolen, Spider-Man runs home with the cover of darkness. At the same time, the man that Peter thought was a carjacker is still stuck to his car, struggling to be freed, and his neighbor informs him that the fire department have dealt with Spider-Man's webs before, and that their advice is to let it dissolve with time.
** After speaking with Happy Hogan on the phone during his trip to Washington, D.C., Peter and Ned react to the Department of Damage Control's presence surrounding the Triskelion. Michelle answers Ned's questions of curiosity by stating that Damage Control is cleaning up after Captain America destroyed the Helicarriers. Ned replies that Captain America did it to save the people from tyranny, although Michelle responds that that is what they want the public to think.
** Adrian Toomes sulks in his warehouse, sulking over his inability to gather new materials as Spider-Man has interfered with his business. Liz gives him a phone call to ask about the noise the water heater is making, and Toomes assures her that he will fix it when he comes home. After ending the phone call, Toomes throws down a shelf on the floor in frustration.
** Aaron Davis is still stuck to his car in the parking garage, unable to free himself. He drops his car keys to the ground and is unable to pick them up, or convince a bystander to help him. After a while, he calls his nephew, Miles Morales, and apologizes for not being able to make it.
** Peter tells Ned that he has to continue stopping Vulture even without Stark's Spider-Man Suit, adding that he has been practicing with his homemade variation. Ned offers to help, but Peter rebukes him, stating that the "guy in the chair" position is not a real thing. Peter and Ned then do their secret handshake while Ned offers Peter the best of luck on his mission, with Peter returning the sentiment towards Ned and his upcoming quiz.
** After loading the Stark Cargo Plane, Happy Hogan calls his mother to gloat that he finally pulled off something for Tony Stark without a hitch. However, he notices the cargo plane smoking and plummeting in the distance, and tells his mother that he will call her back later. After ending the call with her, he calls Stark Industries and asks to speak with Tony.
** After the Ambush on Peter Parker, Betty Brant and Jason Ionello, the two anchors of Midtown School of Science and Technology's news team, report that Herman Schultz was found webbed to a school bus by students after the homecoming dance had ended, with various students taking selfies and images with the assailant. Morita, the principal, makes a special announcement where he warns the students to delete the images from all of their social media accounts, lest they be wary of the consequences. It is also revealed that Shocker's Gauntlet was retrieved by Tiny [=McKeever=], who is seen wearing it during the news footage.
** Along with other school topics, Betty and Jason do a segment on who Spider-Man might be under his mask, and interview Roger Harrington, Ned and Michelle. Harrington is unaware, Michelle states that she isn't sure but she has her suspicions, and Ned states that the identity of Spider-Man is a mystery no one will ever know.
** A segment called "Mr. Harrington In Love" is shown, with Harrington speaking with the students on the bus, Wilson, as well as the tour guide at the Washington Monument, about his ex-wife, Tabitha.

* FanNickname: Iron Man's heavy involvement in the film and his WolverinePublicity in the promotional materials, especially after his prominence on the final poster, has caused some fans, both joking and serious, to call the movie ''Iron Man: Homecoming'', ''Spider-Man: Homecoming Starring Iron Man'', ''Iron Man 4'', or ''Iron Man 7''.[[note]]Counting the original Iron Man trilogy, the first two ''Avengers'' films, and ''Captain America: Civil War''.[[/note]]
