*Spoiler warning for “Avengers: Endgame.* Seriously, do not watch this trailer or read this piece if you haven’t seen the film.* The machine that is Marvel Studios had a bit of a dilemma on their hands towards the end of last year — Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was killed, along with half the universe’s population, at the end of “Avengers: Infinity War” (spoilers!). The only problem is, Holland’s Spider-Man has his second film, “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” coming out in July.

Things got even trickier after we all saw “Avengers: Endgame.” Obviously, every post-‘Endgame’ film just got even more complicated, especially the universe for Peter Parker given Tony Stark died at the conclusion of this last ‘Avengers’ movie. And so that means ‘Far From Home,’ is one big spoiler for ‘Endgame,’ and the ramifications of that movie and Stark’s death is a big part of this new ‘Spider-Man’ movie.
Picking up right after “Endgame,” life is complicated for Peter Parker and everyone who returned five years after Thanos’ snap. So, “Far From Home” builds on the formula of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” with a new location, villain, and unexpected allies, but with a lot of emotional baggage and characters grieving.
Peter Parker’s relaxing European vacation takes an unexpected turn when Nick Fury suddenly shows up in his hotel room. Parker soon finds himself donning the Spider-Man suit to help Fury stop the evil Mysterio from wreaking havoc across the continent.
Teaming up with Holland are MCU veterans Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, and Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, in addition to Marisa Tomei, Jacob Batalon, Zendaya, Tony Revolori, and Abraham Attah returning from “Homecoming.” Playing Mysterio, and making his superhero debut, is Jake Gyllenhaal.
“Spider-Man: Far From Home” swings into theaters on July 5, 2019. You can watch the new trailer below, but again, caution, ‘Endgame’ spoilers abound (which is why the Russo Brothers said the ‘Endgame’ spoiler-ban end today).
