So when I got to interview Watts again, I decided would ask him the exact same question again: Did Tom Holland’s Peter Parker have an Uncle Ben? This time, Watts gave me a much more concrete, much more detailed answer.
So Uncle Ben definitely existed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
When I noted that he is now willing to say “Yes, Uncle Ben did exist in the MCU,” he replied “Yeah.
I think most viewers assume Tom Holland’s Peter did have an Uncle Ben that he just doesn’t talk about.
