The new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer has arrived but fair warning: it does contain spoilers for Avengers: Endgame so if you haven’t seen the film yet, I’d suggest watching this trailer after doing so.
The newest trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home opens with a cautionary message from Tom Holland, a.k.a. Spider-Man himself. And it’s for good reason: The trailer and the movie very clearly take place after and reference the events of Marvel’s currently-in-theaters juggernaut Avengers: Endgame.
Far From Home sees Peter Parker grieving and trying to navigate life after Tony Stark sacrificed himself to save the world in Endgame. Parker looked up to Stark and the two had a father-son type of relationship, so naturally, Parker — as well as Stark’s longtime friend and chauffeur Happy — are pretty torn up about Tony’s sacrifice.
Parker, as Nick Fury tells him in the new trailer, has to take on new responsibilities now that Marvel’s original trio of Stark, Steve Rogers, and Thor have died, gotten old, and gone to another galaxy with the Guardians, respectively. This directive clashes with Parker’s yearning to spend time with his friends Michelle (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) — who both seem to have been snapped and resurrected along with Parker in Infinity War and then Endgame, making them the same age as Parker instead of five years older.
The new trailer’s biggest mystery, meanwhile, concerns Jake Gyllenhaal’s villain Mysterio, who seems to be cozy with Parker. Mysterio is perceived as a hero — as he was in Far From Home’s first trailer — and gives Parker some advice in this new one. And while Mysterio feels like an obvious bait and switch, we don’t know his exact motives yet (though taking advantage of a post-Iron Man world seems to be one); Far From Home will be our opportunity to find out.
Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Far From Home will be the first official Marvel movie to come out after Avengers: Endgame & it ends phase 3. Spider-Man: Far From Home hits screens July 2.
