SPIDER-MAN FAR FROM HOME ON A WORLD TOUR

It seems like Sony Pictures wanted to do another sequel to Spiderman Homecoming with Tom Holland back and with probably several villains ready to kick some super villains. With more locations and bigger budget, there's gonna be whole lot of action scenes this time around. We do see Mysterio introduced here with acclaimed actor Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio aka founder of Sinister Six. This could open up a whole new world for Spider-Man. We also manage to spot what possibly will be Noir Spider-Man or The Stealth Suit.




Before we expose too much, here's a short clip and close up montage showing some of the cool main characters from the movie, Spider-Man Far From Home.


Post-production

In late October 2018, Sony Pictures reached a new multi-film agreement with IMAX Corporation to release their films in IMAX, including Far From Home. At Sony's CCXP Brazil panel in December 2018, it was revealed that Hydro-Man and the Elementals would appear in the film. Martin Starr was confirmed to be reprising his role as Mr. Harrington from Homecoming the next month.

Music

Spider-Man: Homecoming composer Michael Giacchino was confirmed to return to score Far From Home in October 2018.

Marketing

Due to the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Germain Lussier of io9 noted that Sony would either have to begin marketing this film only two months before its release or spoil the fact that Parker is resurrected for general audiences that may not realize that this would happen in the next Avengers film. Lussier suggested that the latter approach be taken, while a representative of Sony said that the studio would be working with Marvel to "figure out the Spider-Man strategy".

The first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home was shown at Sony's CCXP Brazil panel on December 8, 2018, with Holland and Gyllenhaal in attendance to promote the film. The footage did not acknowledge the events of Infinity War or Endgame, with Steven Weintraub of Collider describing it as a continuation of "the Spider-Man universe" only. The first trailer was publicly released on January 15, 2019, after Holland premiered it on his Instagram. A second, international version of the trailer was also released, which featured slight differences.

Alex Abad-Santos of Vox felt the trailer "arrived at a curious time" given the last time Parker was seen, he had died in Infinity War. Abad-Santos added that the trailer was "a roundabout way" that Parker and others would be revived in Endgame. Other news outlets also commented on Parker's appearance in the trailer given the events of Infinity War, with Zack Straf of IndieWire pointing out that, while it appeared Parker does return, the audience was still left wondering how he returns. Adam Chitwood of Collider said, "This trailer looks exactly like a sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming. It’s cute and fun, and I love the idea of sending the kids on a European vacation. Adding Nick Fury to the mix also increases the stakes from an MCU standpoint, and I like that Jake Gyllenhaal‘s Mysterio is only briefly revealed in mysterious fashion". 

However, he added that Far From Home felt "the tiniest bit less special" when "judged so closely to [the animated film] Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse", given the latter's success as an "animated masterwork". Chitwood also spoke to the teaser poster released for the film, calling it "really fun, leaning into the whole 'summer vacation' vibe of the film as the iconic Spider-Man mask is covered in travel stickers," with the stickers potentially hinting at all the locations in the film. Graeme McMillian of The Hollywood Reporter felt the trailer was crafted in a way that presented the Elementals as the threat, when if fact, they could turn out to be "massive illusions on behalf of Mysterio as part of as-yet-unknown scheme", with Mysterio the true threat. 

He added, "Such a deception not only allows the audience to be as thrown off the scent as the movie’s hero, but it also gives Far From Home the opportunity to stay as grounded as Spider-Man: Homecoming was, in terms of narrative scale". McMillian's colleague Richard Newby stated "The main takeaway from the trailer is that Spider-Man: Far From Home is deftly blending old and new school elements of the Spider-Man mythos, for a result that feels surprisingly fresh", and concluded, "Spider-Man: Far From Homelooks like a strong next step in Spider-Man’s story, with enough intrigue and heart to make it a fitting first chapter of the MCU’s next phase." Newby was also excited about the inclusion of Nick Fury in the film, as it would allow Spider-Man "to become established in another corner of the MCU". Forbes's Scott Mendelson noted "the sheer confidence on display" from Sony with the teasers since Sony was "in a place where they are on a winning streak when it comes to Spidey movies" after the successes of HomecomingVenom, and Into the Spider-Verse.
