Does Uncle Ben exist in the MCU?

fixit_fiona

Uncle Ben, the man who raised Peter from birth with his wife May, who taught Peter the lesson that inspires him to be a hero, and who is the basis for the iconic phrase "with great power comes great responsibility," hasn't been seen in the MCU. Tom Holland's Spider-Man has been in five movies so far. We've seen Aunt May, and Tony Stark works as a father/mentor figure for him. As far as I remember, there has been no indication about Uncle Ben so...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Yes (kind of) as per director, from screencrush Did Tom Holland’s Peter Parker have an Uncle Ben? This time, Watts gave me a much more concrete, much more detailed answer. “Yes. Definitely. Did you notice his initials on Peter’s suitcase?” He continued; “Yes, Uncle Ben did exist in the MCU,” he replied “Yeah. I mean, we don’t know,” and then he took a long pause before adding “We never specifically say anything about him. So whether or not he’s around or not.” But at-least his suitcase exists for sure in MCU. But his name was Benjamin "Ben" Parker in comics without F.
