Previously, the Safety not Guaranteed actor opened up about his excitement about the forthcoming MCU film. And now when he is talking about Spider-Man references in the movie, fans need to know the roots. Spider-Man India was first introduced to Marvel Comics in 2004. Spider-Man’s alter ego in the comic is Pavitr Prabhakar. He is a phonetic distortion of Peter Parker.
