How the new Spider-Man trailer changed everything we know
about Far From Home.
Last weekend, Brazil's Comic Con experience
brought superhero movie fans tons of exclusives.
From an unreleased Captain Marvel clip, a Shazam poster,
the Avengers four title and trailer,
it was about time,
and new Spider-Man costumes from Far From Home.
And in the midst of all the info dumps one
of the most exciting things revealed exclusively
to Brazil fans was the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer
which still has yet to be released to the rest of the world.
Now while we have yet to see the actual trailer ourselves,
more than quite a few descriptions have popped
up everywhere online and based on what we are learning
several of the assumptions, speculations,
and pre-conceived notions we had of the film are
being flipped on their heads with all of these new details.
So let's break down all of the rumblings,
stirrings, tid-bits, goodies, and nuggets
hidden within all of those trailer write-ups.
Now before we dive too deep,
if you're hoping to swing your way
into Spider-Man: Far From Home spoiler free
then go ahead and click on out of this web of spoilers.
So here's a quick recap of what we already knew
about Far From Home pre-trailer.
We knew that Spidey would be on some sort
of school trip or vacation to Europe
and during his adventure across the pond he would be
recruited by Nick Fury for some espionage,
espionage shenanigans.
For some espionage shenana...
During his adventure across the pond,
he would be recruited by Nick Fury
for some espionage shenanigans
which would most likely entail Mysterio
as well as other villains rumored
to be Hydro-Man and Molten Man.
Don't ever do that to me again.
Now some of that info is correct,
but some was not so let's detail
what the lucky fans got to see down in Brazil.
First, let's just get this little detail out of the way.
At the top of the trailer Aunt May and Happy Hogan have
some type of exchange that includes flirting.
- What?
- Not sure if anyone was shipping them.
I am now.
But they are both single so why not?
- What?
- Some trailer descriptions say
that Happy was trying to flirt with May,
while others say that the two are straight-up
having an affair.
Obviously there's a pretty huge gap between
those two things so we'll have to wait to see
the actual trailer to see whose assessment
of the Happy, May relationship status is correct.
- What?
- Next in the trailer Peter Parker packs (Laughs).
I can't (laughs).
Oh (Bleep).
A pack of pickled peppers? (Laughs)
Yeah fuck I didn't look.
Next in the trailer Peter Parker packs
for his European trip. (laughs)
- [Man] (laughs) Go back top.
- No! (laughs)
That was great.
- [Man] We're gonna save it.
We'll make it work.
- Next in the trailer Peter Parker packs
for his European trip and chooses
to leave his Spider-Man suit behind.
Reportedly it's because he wants to keep his Superhero life
at home when he goes on vacation and because he is only
a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man after all.
He didn't care about the rest of you guys.
His friends Ned and MJ are also coming along on the trip.
Then the trailer shows Peter and friends
in Venice, Italy seeing the sights
and Peter getting romantically closer to MJ.
From there Peter and Ned are in their hotel room
when someone suddenly appears and shoots Ned
with a a tranquilizer dart.
The someone who appears is Nick Fury, of course,
who is there to recruit Peter for a mission.
The descriptions say that a bunch
of different Spider-Man uniforms are shown here,
including the black stealth suit and the classic Spidey suit
with spiderwebs underneath the arms.
At the end of the trailer Jake Gyllenhaal makes
his entrance as Mysterio teaming up with Spider-man
to fight a new villain Hydro-man
who we've previously speculated would appear in the movie.
The folks at IGN describe this as a breathtaking sequence
and it also happens to be one of the trailer scenes
that turns fans expectations upside down.
They write the sequence sees Hydro-Man emerge
from the Venice waters and attack the Italian city
in a sequence full of explosions, screams and chaos.
Spider-Man starts to fight him
but gets into a little trouble
and that's when Mysterio appears
to help him at the end of the trailer.
What?
We were fairly certain that Mysterio's villainous history
in the comics would follow him into the MCU
but according to these trailer descriptions,
Mysterio is not only going to be working
side-by-side with Spidey,
he's also going to be teaming up with Nick Fury
on this European mission.
Or is he?
According to /Film Jake Gyllenhaal's character
Quentin Beck is somehow knowledgeable about the Elementals
which should raise some eyebrows.
And ends up recruited by Nick Fury, Samuel L. Jackson,
to team up with Spider-Man to stop him.
Oh so Mysterio is somehow knowledgeable
about these Elementals.
Sounds like somebody's running a con job.
If we had to bet,
though Mysterio may be super helpful
to Spidey in Far From Home,
there is a very good possibility that by
the end of the film we'll see another side
of ol' Quentin Beck and he's been runnin a job
against Nick and old web head.
Also what was that mention of Elementals?
That's right another detail fans were misled on
was that the water blasting nemesis that was previously
teased is not exactly Hydro-Man,
but instead is one of the Elementals.
Now if you're not familiar with them, don't feel too bad.
The Elementals are obscure, old school Marvel villains
who debuted back in the '70s
in the supernatural thrillers comics
and just like you'd guess from their name,
the Elementals were extra-diensional beings
who had mastered the elements and their members
usually included Hydron, Hellfire, Zephyr, and Magnum.
So why pull from these ancient beings
when you have plenty of powerful
and interesting Spider-Man villains
from his very own rogues gallery?
Probably because of movie rights.
Marvel Studios has the film rights to the Elementals
but would have to license Hydro-Man
and other classic Spidey villains which are owned by Sony.
So most likely they're using
the Elemental equivalents of those characters,
Hydron instead of Hydro-Man,
Hellfire instead of Molten Man, and so on.
It's like the MCU's generic brand name version
of Spidey villains, it's the Costco of villains.
Just as good as the name brand, at half the price.
Plus free samples.
I love Costco.
So with all of these new details released
through the exclusive trailer,
we're getting a whole new idea of what will go
down in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
But what do you folks think?
Will Mysterio really be a good guy?
Or is he running a con job?
Will the Elementals really be extra-dimensional?
And do you ship Aunt May with Happy Hogan?
Yeah!
Or do you prefer her single?
Yeah!
Whatever, you do you girl.
Let's discuss.
