Hi there, nerd squad.
And welcome back to another nerdy list.
Far From Home is coming up quick.
Are you as excited as we are?
Cause we are pumped.
Remember 3 months ago when I was so excited that I accidentally called Batman Spiderman.
Yeah, I’ve been ready for awhile.
In today’s video we are going to get geared up by talking about the top 10 Far From Home
fan theories that just might be true.
So buckle up because us Marvel fans have some pretty far out theories for this one.
One that I was not expecting but has almost all but been confirmed is the Happy Hogan
and Aunt May ship becoming reality.
I mean, wow.
Feel free to let me know your feels on that and these other theories in the comments below.
Alright, let’s get counting.
10 Miles Morales
I know what you are all about to say.
Hasn’t it been confirmed that Miles will not be in Far From Home?
And yes, producer Eric Caroll has been reported as saying “no” when asked about the potential
appearance of Miles Morales in the newest Spider-Man film.
However!
Did we not think that Far From Home was going to take place before Homecoming, only to have
Disney flip the script on us?
They have misled and lied to us before.
After the success of Sony’s Into the Spider-Verse, I think the world has proven how very ready
we are for more Miles Morales.
I am hoping that Disney will have noticed this attention and may give us at least a
glimpse of the character in the newest film.
Loyal Miles’ fans have been pointing to the deleted scene from Homecoming wherein
Aaron Davis, played by Donald Glover, appears to be talking to Miles on the phone.
For those who don’t know, Aaron Davis in the comics is Miles’ uncle who ends up becoming
the villian, Prowler.
9 MJ Fury?
Alright.
So I had to acknowledge this one.
MJ is Nick Fury’s daughter.
Despite not being a big believer myself, I have had a few friends bring it up during
Far From Home discussions and so this theory is for all you believers.
Fans have noticed a similarity in the way both Nick Fury and MJ dress, they share a
colour scheme.
They both have a similar sense of humour as well.
Some have even gone so far to acknowledge that at one point MJ’s hair covers one of
her eyes.
And fans are left thinking, “Eyepatch anyone?”
Another plot point that has been highlighted is that Nick Fury has mentioned he has a wife.
His wife is mentioned in Winter Soldier when he is laying low out at Cap’s apartment.
Her name?
Sharon Hannah Immogen Emmanuella Lara Davis.
Her initials?
SHEILD.
More likely that this was Fury communicating in code during what was a suspected bugged
conversation.
Though I am skeptical about the connection between MJ and Fury, Disney has been known
to try and breathe new life into the old comic book history we feel we already know.
And this could be another attempt to shake things up.
8 Norman Osborn
The moment we have all been waiting for, Norman Osborn making his grand entrance in the MCU.
Many people are speculating that certain easter eggs are being left behind as a set up for
Norman Osborn to enter the MCU as the new big bad in the next phase of Marvel films.
If you haven’t kept up to speed on all the evidence we have been gathering, let me share
a few points of interest.
We still don’t have a full origins story for Peter Parker, this mystery could be easily
solved by the appearance of Osborn.
Stark Towers was sold and purchased by a mystery buyer.
But who would be wealthy enough to buy the property?
Not only that but there is the mystery of the benefactor who wants to snatch up all
of Hank Pim’s tech and is willing to pay a billion dollars.
All of these signs could be pointing to Osborn and his Oscorp.
Combine this with the fact that “Roger Wardwell”, famed Marvel leaker tweeted that Norman Osborn
would be the new big bad in the next phase in tweets that were later deleted, and you
have to me a pretty solid case for this theory becoming a reality.
7 Nick Fury is a Skrull
This fan theory if proven true could be a huge game changer for the franchise as it
could take us into Secret Invasion territory.
But why would we even think this of Fury?
A character well loved and often trusted by both heroes, colleagues and fans alike.
Coming out of the Captain Marvel film, involving Skrulls there were a few questions left unanswered
which made fans suspicious of who Fury may really be.
In Captain Marvel, Fury tells Carol as proof that he is not a skrull some obscure details
about himself that skrulls would struggle to create or know.
He specifically confesses that he cannot eat bread if it is diagonally cut.
Die-hard fans have referenced a scene in Age of Ultron where Fury can potentially be seen
eating what appears to be very diagonal bread.
Akin to this, many fans have felt the change that we see in Fury from young agent to head
of SHIELD is so different that he must not be who he says he is.
Character development aside, the point that has left me wondering the most was this last
one.
When the Skrulls land on earth in Captain Marvel, we see four of them.
The science skrull is killed by Yon-Rogg, one dies in the car chase near the beginning
and Talos leaves planet with his family.
But where does the other one end up?
It is possible this skrull stayed behind and became Fury in an attempt to infiltrate Earth's
government and make it easier for skrulls to later invade the planet.
6 SINISTER SIX!!!
How long have we waited for this theory to pan out?
What feels like forever, amiright?
But with Far From Home within reach it is possible that our wait could be almost over.
In fact someone claiming to work for Disney in animation under the cover of the username
RoyG575 on reddit leaked that the time for the Sinister Six could be nigh.
A Sinister Six film could also be a nice foil to DC’s Suicide Squad.
I do love me some villain franchises after all.
Roy G575 claims that Far From Home will have a mid credit scene and post credit scene and
that the post credit scene will introduce the Sinister Six.
The post on redditt claims the Six will be comprised of Vulture, Shocker, Scorpion, Chameleon,
Mysterio and of course potential big bad, Norman Osborn.
Goodness am I ready for this fan theory and leak to be true.
5 Mysterio is Peter Parker
Wait?
What?
Yup, you heard me right.
One fan on redditt, chef_the_killer watched the clip that was released of Mysterio and
Peter Parker’s pepp talk and theorized that it felt like Mysterio was Peter Parker but
perhaps from a different universe.
Mysterio is coming into Far From Home claiming that the multiverse is real and he travelled
here through a dimensional rift, if this is true he could be an alternate Peter Parker
who under different circumstances became Mysterio but is still even perhaps a hero, like he
claims.
The talk they have does make it sound like Mysterio is giving a talk to his past self.
And seeing Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhal next to each other definitely makes me feel
like Gyllenhal could be cast as an older version of Holland’s character or vice versa.
This theory is pretty out there but is it weird that I kind of want it to be true?
4 Multiverse
As I said, Mysterio’s excuse for being here is that he came thought an interdimensional
rift, chasing Elementals which have wreaked havoc on his own world and that he came here
to stop them.
If there is even a semblance of truth to his story there is a good chance that this means
the multiverse is real.
Even better, if this fan theory is true and Far From Home confirms the existence of the
multiverse, the possibility for Marvel films becomes endless.
Gwenpool movie anyone?
While some are hesitant to believe that Marvel and Disney are headed down this route, as
I have said previously, that cannot deny the success of Into the Spider-Verse and some
are hoping that Sony’s success will persuade them to introduce the multiverse to the MCU.
Fingers firmly crossed for this one.
3 Nick Fury is the Chameleon
I know a lot of my fan theories revolve around Nick Fury but what can I say fans just seem
to love Fury.
And I definitely can’t blame them.
And apparently a lot of people are concerned about the way Fury appears to be behaving
in the next Marvel film.
One of the things that is greatly concerning everyone is how quickly Fury seems trust Mysterio,
especially considering how slow is he to trust just about everyone else in the MCU.
This has fans theorizing that Fury isn’t himself at all, and maybe not even a skrull
but instead one of Spidey’s oldest villains, the Chameleon.
Whether or not he’ll be appearing in this film has yet to be confirmed, though Numan
Acar is slated to play a character named Dmitri which could be a potential reference to Dmitri
Smerdyakov, Chameleon’s civilian identity.
Chameleon’s appearance could also explain Fury’s behaviour and get us closer to the
Sinister Six appearance we’ve all been dreaming of.
2 Spider-Man Origins
We all know that Far From Home is the official end to this phase of the Marvel franchise.
In it we will be exploring what we are left with in the aftermath of Endgame.
A lot of this will revolve around Spider-Man feeling the loss of Tony Stark and responsibility
left him by Iron Man.
And in this it is rumoured a dark secret of Tony’s will also be revealed.
Some are speculating this secret will actually help to diminish the possibility of Norman
Osborn appearing as a huge Spider-Man villain and change Osborn’s story should he show
up.
As some suspect the secret is that Stark Industries was the creator of the radioactive spider
that granted Peter his abilities.
I like this idea in and of the sense that it would add to Parker’s feelings about
Stark and how he viewed their relationship.
1 Venom
Continuing along our train of thought with number two, what if Stark’s secret was something
more diabolical?
Something more dangerous that may also lead Peter down a darker path for awhile?
We can after all already see from the clips and trailers released that Far From Home leaves
Peter wrestling with his responsibilities and his desire to just be a normal kid.
To add that I propose a theory that what Stark might be hiding in his lab, his dark secret
may involve a new suit for Parker but one that ends up being created from everyone’s
favourite symbiote, Venom.
The suits he appears to be sporting in the film are already dark enough that in my mind,
it could easily be a nod toward the presence of Venom.
If thus was a thing Marvel wanted to make happen, I would certainly watch it.
Just maybe no emo hair and dancing for this one, please.
I actually wish this list had been longer as there were so many great fan theories that
I couldn’t even include all the ones that I wanted to share.
Namely the idea that Robert Downey Junior will forever live on as Iron Man in voice
over land.
Which one of these fan theories are you most hoping to see?
Or do you have another one that will blow my socks off even more, feel free to share
in the comments below.
And while you are down there don’t forget to like and subscribe.
Maybe even give this list a share or follow us on all the social medias, I don’t know.
That would be cool.
In the meantime, I’m Amanda McKnight, saying thanks for watching and reminding you to stay
nerdy, YouTube.
