It’s kind of shocking after the whole #DontspoiltheEndgame initiative run by Marvel that the new trailer for their next film, Spider-Man: Far From Home would go ahead and give away the biggest events from a movie that barely came out two or three weeks ago.
We imagine most of the hardcore nerds out there have already seen Avengers: Endgame at least three times (did you catch the Howard the fucking Duck cameo in the final fight? Well, time to go see it again!), but we highly recommend you avoid this preview like the plague until you’re able to get your ass to a theater. And if you don’t want to listen to us, well, take it from Tom Holland himself, who recorded a brief introduction to the trailer as well.
Take a look:
Now, let’s dig into this motherfucker: We’re really interested in whatever is happening with Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio here, and we’re also really hoping that he’s not bullshitting Nick Fury and company that he’s from another universe. The character is basically built on a foundation of lies, so it’s most likely proof-positive that he is, but wouldn’t it be dope if this Quentin Beck was the Alexander Luthor of his universe — the lone good guy facing off against evil versions of the Marvel characters?
It’s also interesting that “the snap” has had even greater effects on reality than just what we saw in Infinity War and Endgame, and we’re presuming that the presence of Hydro-Man and Molten Man are related to that. Anyways, we’re sold simply on this being a continuation of this Peter Parker’s fun little world as established in the solid-as-hell Spider-Man: Homecoming, though we have few pretensions that this will be better than Into the Spider-Verse. That’s a lotta Spider-Mans!
Spider-Man: Far From Home hits theaters on July 2.
