During the events of Avengers: Endgame,
Spider-Man comes back from being snapped, exactly the same as he was five years prior.
At the end of the movie, we see that
he is back in high school, greeted by his best friend Ned Leeds, who expresses relief at seeing Peter Parker, implying that he either knew Peter was "snapped," (and therefore probably wasn't snapped himself) or that he thought he may have been killed in the fight against Thanos.
Additionally,
in the trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home, Peter and Ned are on a school trip with their peers from the first movie, including Flash and MJ, as well as at least one of their other classmates.
I was wondering if there was a canon explanation for why all of these characters still seem to be in high school? The obvious answer would be that
they were all snapped and so came back the same age, which is plausible, but it could also be that in the societal breakdown in the meantime, schools ceased to function, so everyone resumed where they had been.
While I find either of these to be reasonable explanations, is there a specific canon reason for this? And have any of them officially aged?
Answer
The Russo brothers actually answered this in an interview from this Chinese source. As the original article is in Chinese I am getting the quotes from this reddit post, although I think all that's happened is that the user ran it through Google Translate.
From the answer below we can see that all his friends were also dusted and that they have no memory of what happened having it feel like they have "woken up".
Q: What about those people who got dusted? What did those five years mean to them? Why didn't they grow older when undusted?
A: Yes, those people whom was lucky to survive the snap are 5 years older than the people who just got back. The reason Spider Man saw his friend again in high school at the end was simply because his friends was unfortunately also dusted like Spider Man was. Of course, there are people in his grade whom didn't die and they are probably already in colleges by now. To those dusted people, they had no conscious in these past 5 years. They didn't know what happened. It's as if they had just woke up from a long sleep. The only one who was aware about how many years has passed was Doctor Strange, because he has already seen that when he was time mediating on Titan. Parker's reunion with Ned was a touching moment. There are also people whom indeed moved on but suddenly was reunited with their lost ones. Yeah it's kind a complicated world now.
