This morning gave us our first great look at the next solo Spider-Man movie: Far From Home. Peter’s wild summer vacation might not have given us any Avengers: Endgame hints just yet, but there was still plenty to catch about Spider-Man’s next big adventure.
This morning gave us our first great look at the next solo Spider-Man movie: Far From Home. Peter’s wild summer vacation might not have given us any Avengers: Endgame hints just yet, but there was still plenty to catch about Spider-Man’s next big adventure.
The trailer opens back in Queens, as Peter (Tom Holland), now flanked by his secret identity-knowing Aunt May (Marissa Tomei), opens a fundraiser supporting the homeless as Spider-Man. It would seem that at the very least, after the initial shock of discovering that her nephew is the Amazing Spider-Man at the end of Homecoming, May is now 100 percent on board with Peter using his superheroic status for good.
Another thing she’s also maybe on board with? Flirting with Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), who appears to be happily flustered in this chat with her. Please appreciate Peter’s baffled/horrified/embarrassed reaction to all of this.
Peter begins frantically sorting through the mess of his bedroom as, in voice over, he tells Mr. Delmar (Hemky Madera), who appears to now have a new store after his old one got blown up in Homecoming, that he’s got a big school trip to Europe coming up.
As Pete checks his phone mid-webswing, note the background—it would appear that Avengers Tower is still undergoing serious renovation after Tony Stark sold it during the events of Homecoming. Who’s the new owner? We don’t know yet. Maybe Oscorp could do with a swanky new Manhattan address…
Peter goes to pick up his new passport, and if you were hoping an eagle-eyed glimpse at the validation years would give you an idea of when this movie is set well…you’re not getting it. The years are very noticeably absent! (We still have no idea if this film takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame or not.) But at least you get to try and say “Peter Parker here to pick up a passport, please?” five times fast.
While May grills Peter about his packing, she also implores him to put his suit in his baggage, too…but Peter has some baggage over that himself. “Europe doesn’t really need a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man,” he tells his aunt. However, a brief snippet from the international trailer not included here shows that despite the fact Peter elects not to pack his Spider-Suit, May packs it for him:
Eliciting quite the surprise at the customs check in Venice.
Spider-Man goes worldwide! While a lot of the action for Peter and his friends on their trip in this trailer focuses on Venice and scenes in London, the newly-released poster for the film adds to that New York (duh), Prague, Berlin, and the Swiss Alps. Lotta time for Pete to stare awkwardly at MJ (Zendaya).
And flirt awkwardly with her, too, as the duo attempt to compliment each other’s appearance on an evening out.
As the kids get settled into a decidedly run-down looking hotel, Peter admits to Ned (Jacob Batalon) that he wants to spend more time with MJ on the trip…only for Ned to find himself knocked-out by a sleep dart in comical fashion. Fired by none other than…
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) himself! “So nice to finally meet you, Spider-Man,” the former director of SHIELD adds as he sits in the most Bond-villain manner possible.
