Taking place after the events of “Avengers: Infinity War”, the trailer gives no reference or mention to the past movie to avoid any spoilers for the upcoming “Avengers: End Game”. As this movie has to be advertised, Peter Parker and friends are shown to have survived the events of End Game.

The trailer opens at a fundraiser where Aunt May is thanking Spider-Man to the crowd. Backstage, Aunt May and Peter are congratulating each other when Happy Hogan suddenly shows up late. Aunt May and Happy share some flirty banter as Peter is confused as to what is going on.

Following the Marvel logo, Peter is packing for his big school trip to Europe, where he purposely leaves his Spidey suit behind to ensure a normal, safe trip with his friends: “Europe does really need a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.”

In Europe, MJ and Peter are slowly starting to like each other with their attractive glared towards each other and calling each other pretty. Right as Peter is talking to Ned about his realization that MJ likes him, Ned is darted and knocked cold to the floor. A mysterious figure talks to Peter about how nice it is to finally meet Spider-Man. That mysterious figure turns out to be Nick Fury: “I think Nick Fury just hijacked our summer vacation” -Peter Parker

As Peter originally tried to leave his superhero duties aside for once, his run-in with Fury has ensured that his trip will be an action-packed Spidey adventure. Various shots are shown of Spidey gliding into destruction to save the day of a burning bridge and an exploding building.

A mysterious shape-shifting figure emerges as Fury and a SHIELD agent begins shooting at it. With his apparent sand abilities, it appears at first to be the introduction of the Sandman. As the trailer continuous, the mystery villain takes the form of fire and water as well, so the identity of this villain is yet to be revealed.

Along with his slightly altered red and black suit that seemingly Fury give to him, Peter also is given a completely black stealth suit. As his friends are shown to have guns pointed at them, this stealth suit will play a major role in Peter having the restriction of saving the day without being noticed.

The biggest reveal of the trailer comes from the first appearance of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio. He’s first shown without his round helmet, but still wearing his cape and armor. Mysterio appears to be saving Peter from the fight rather than fighting against him. Mysterio shoots out a green blast and jumps right into the battle. A few moments later and Mysterio is show to be fighting with his round helmet on.

The title card plays as a quick scene follows of Peter’s friends calling Mysterio “Like Iron Man and Thor rolled into one.” Flash comments that he is no Spider-Man, showcasing his appreciation for the mask hero, right before ironically shooting down Peter randomly.

The “Spider-Man: Far From Home” trailer made the wise choice of selling it as the follow up to “Spider-Man: Homecoming” rather than the aftermath of “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: End Game”. The movie is expected to release on July 5th, 2019
