Spider-Man: Far From Home - Key Trailer Takeways

In the wake of Avengers: Endgame’s success, we were reminded yesterday of the other Marvel film opening this summer, Spider-Man: Far From Home. As Endgame has been in cinemas for two weeks, the marketing for Far From Home will start to ramp in time for its July release. Just like the first one, this trailer was full of awesome, heart, and fun – all the things a Spider-Man film should be.


Like any second trailer, we got to know more about the film’s plot, showing off some cool character interactions and action set-pieces, whilst giving us an idea of the themes in the film. As Spider-Man: Far From Home will be the final film in phase 3, it makes sense to set-up plot devices for phase 4 through this film. There were a few interesting points of note, so here are my key takeaways from the trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home…

***WARNING: ENDGAME SPOILERS AHEAD***

Aftermath of Endgame
This trailer really gives you a sense of how the world has changed since the events of Avengers: Endgame, and puts into perspective how much Tony’s death has affected those close to him. Spider-Man and Happy are still mourning Tony Stark and miss him deeply, while Peter’s motivations throughout the trailer come back to making Tony proud, and continuing his legacy in some way.

Multiverse
We learn from the trailer that Mysterio (traditionally a Spider-Man villain) has somehow entered our reality through a rift in space (caused by the snap), and with the help of Shield, he is trying to return to his own universe. For the first time in the MCU, the idea of a multiverse could now be in play. There is fan speculation that Mysterio may be fooling Shield into believing a multiverse exists, but if it does, the possibilities this could open for the wider MCU are endless, and could pave the way for different stories to be told.  

Peter & MJ’s Relationship

The end of ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming revealed that one of Peter’s classmates refers to herself as “MJ” (like the traditional Mary Jane love interest), meaning we knew this film would play more into a potential relationship. The trailer gave us glimpses of an awkward Peter and a witty MJ, showing us all he wants for now is to have a normal vacation with his friends and put superhero duties to one side. And apparently MJ knows Peter is Spider-Man?


Bigger Role for Spider-Man

With many of the original six Avengers not around, it seems Spider-Man (all be it reluctantly) is being asked to play a greater role as part of the Avengers. Going forward, there are many questions as to who will lead the Avengers, but this trailer makes Spider-Man out to be a contender. Although I don’t think he will lead the Avengers, he will definitely have a greater role from now on, with more responsibility on his shoulders. Again the trailer seems to tell us how Peter can carry on Tony’s legacy.

Why The Marvel Cinematic Universe Is One Of Cinemas Greatest Achievements

A decade in review... When it comes to cinematic achievements, we often hear of the usual list: Citizen Kane (1940) for its innovative storytelling and narrative structure; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) for being the first ever feature length animated film; and Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) for its ground breaking use of visual effects. But throughout this past decade, we may have in fact witnessed the greatest one of all. I firmly believe we experienced one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema, and that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MCU is a franchise of films produced by Marvel Studios, consisting of 23 films to date which all take place along the same timeline and in the same universe (but most of you probably knew that). Starting in 2008 with Iron Man, the series went on to produce some of the greatest comic book films of all time, and some of the best cinema we have seen in the past decade. The MCU has been immensely successful both f...

Avengers: Endgame Is Officially Top Of The World

Image
For a while it felt as though the film would fall just short, but now its official… Avengers: Endgame has become the highest grossing film of all time. The smash hit MCU finale finally passed Avatar ’s decade long total to reach $2.79bn this past weekend, capping off what has been an insane year for Marvel Studios. It’s a fitting testament to the amazing work everyone at Marvel Studios has done over the last 11 years, with Endgame being a worthy film for the top mantle. With such a massive opening weekend ($357m in North America and $1.2bn worldwide), a lot of us had assumed Endgame would stroll to the no.1 all-time spot, but instead it ended up being a close call, slowly chipping away each weekend. In Avengers: Endgame , we have witnessed box office history which we will not see matched for a very long time, and probably never to this scale and magnitude. The buzz for Endgame was monumental! In the first 2 weeks of its release, you couldn’t escape the Endgame …it was t...

“ You Trust Me? I do ” WHAT A SCENE! Just as Steve Rodgers is shown putting his trust in Tony Stark , I am putting my full trust in Marvel to deliver the most extraordinary finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With less than a month to go, tickets for Avengers: End Game are now on sale! To announce ticket sales, Marvel released a one-minute trailer for the film (which you should have seen by now), showing off almost all-new footage and it looks AMAZING.
