Far From Home Spider-Man: Far From Home General Discussion and Speculation - Part 1

[Nicko-Ray]

You guys are looking way too much into the title.

I'm sure the double meaning is due to what happened to him in Infinity War.

This. Obviously, he's physically far from home, but mentally as well after the events of IW.


Mods, can we get a forum title change, please? Lol

Feige said that Gyllenhaal isn't confirmed just yet, which is pretty much par for the course with MCU villain castings iirc.

I wonder what other villains will be in this one. If they're building towards a Sinister 6 showdown they have to have some side villains kicking around.

Well if Mysterio is in this, we have three already: him, Vulture and Scorpion (probably). I don't think Shocker will be one. Highly doubt that. Let's say they introduce a second one in Far From Home, and there's two left to go. My money is on Octopus and Kraven.

Kraven would be a nice secondary villain to this film. One foe with mind games, one with brute strength. It's too bad they weren't in Africa instead of Europe lol.

I remember Feige saying the world "global". So maybe? Fingers crossed.

At least it's a Summer Vacation and not a school trip

Speaking of Holland, we then asked Feige about Spider-Man: Far From Home, the sequel to Homecoming, which will be released two months after Avengers 4. It has the same tricky issue, because Spider-Man was also snapped away by Thanos.

“Well, when does that movie take place?” Feige asked. “We know it’s the summer. I think it’s summer vacation. I think he’s going to Europe with his friends. I don’t know what summer... I mean, I do know [but you don’t].”

The suggestion that Far From Home could happen before Infinity War is a nice deflection, but ultimately is probably not true. What Feige forgot were his quotes from one year ago, when we spoke with him about Spider-Man: Homecoming:

“So much happens in [the third and fourth Avengers movies], as you can imagine, and so much is affected by it that we felt what better person to hold your hand and lead you into the next incarnation of the MCU, in a grounded, realistic manner, than Peter Parker?” Feige told io9 last year. “So, coming out two months after Untitled Avengers, [that’s what] much of what the next Spider-Man film will be about.”

“It was purposefully done like [that],” Feige continued last year. “Like how the events of Captain America: Civil War impacted Peter as he was dropped off by Tony and expected to go back to continue his sophomore year, how the hell are the events of Infinity War and Untitled [Avengers] going to affect him as he, yes, goes back to his junior year?”

So, though Feige joked this week that Far From Home may not take place after the events of Infinity War, it almost certainly does. And that means we still don’t know how that film will be marketed. However, Tom Holland’s tongue-in-cheek title reveal may offer a clue. In the video, he said “I’m a little confused [about Spider-Man 2] because I died so I don’t really know how it comes into play.” Maybe Marvel will just treat the whole thing with a great big shoulder shrug. Or, maybe Feige’s suggestion of a different timeline is the answer—and nothing in the trailer will confirm when the movie takes place.

I've said this before, but I hope Mysterio isn't depicted in an overly manic and cartoonish manner. Not all villains have to be like the Joker. I'd prefer the sleek and sinister Gyllenhaal from Nightcrawler to be the template for Mysterio rather than the boisterous and jittery one from Okja.

I get excited thinking about that film and what he can lend to Mysterio. He'd be a freak. It can be insane. Sheesh!

Jake is a very physical actor, so I'd also love for Mysterio to be able to hold his own against Spidey in combat, which he's able to do in the comics (most of the time).

 

[DyeLorean]

Oh I'm sure Gyllenhaal is gonna do something interesting with it. He doesn't feel, to me, like the kind of actor who would just do this for the money, he is a real character actor. If he chose to be a villain in a comic-book movie, he is onto something!.

 

[Dark Raven]

The way to market this trailer is to not show Peter or Spider-Man at all. Just show his friends who are all wondering where Peter is and why he's far from home.

 

[SP1D3YTHW1P]

A counselor at a camp I attend knows some producer who knows Tom Holland. I'm 100% being honest right now. Seriously. So basically he told me that the Disneyland suit is just for disneyland and is not going to be in FFH. He also told me that Harry Osborn could appear, but not the Green Goblin.This is less likely tho, from what he told me as it's only based on some casting he heard of. Scorpion is confirmed to be leading up to something bigger. S6, possibly?

 

[ironwez20]

If that Disney land suit isn’t the real suit then I wonder what kinda suit he has? Hopefully it’s not techy. And no Karen voice.

I was on the fence about Karen but you know what? It is a good solution for Spidey's inner-monologues or thoughts, that kind of stuff. At least we know he is talking to someone, and it isn't weird like in the older movies, you know what I mean?.

 

[Toomes' Phone]

I love Karen, and for the sake of continuity or whatever
, I'd like more of her in Far from Home.

On the villain front, you know how Aaron Davis described Vulture as "a psychopath dressed like a demon"? I'd like a similar design for Mysterio only taken 10x further. Make him as monstrous as possible, with an inhuman face visible from behind the helmet, like the Shattered Dimensions design only even scarier.

The one thing i've learnt from the spider-man thread on here is that the fanatics here and on social media are so demanding compared to other marvel characters and really try to take any joy or interest that taking a character in even a slightly different direction can bring

Exactly. I mean nerds in most if not all fandoms (*COUGH* Star Wars, holy crap *COUGH*) are extremely entitled, but it's embarrassingly bad here.

 

[Sawyer]

Hopefully being far from home also means he's far removed from mentioning "Mr.Stark..." at the beginning of every other sentence.

You're so right.

He should really be calling him "Dad" at this point.

 

[Shikamaru]

I do like how both subtitles manage to feel both small in scale and big at the same time. It's not easy to find a non-epic title that still feels heavy.

As for what "Far from Home" means, probably a double/triple entendre like Homecoming. Probably 1) him literally being far from home, 2) dealing with events of IW, and 3) not knowing where to fit in after declining Tony.

 

[KevTravels]

any actual confirmation on Jake landing the villain role?

 

[Spidey_62]

Nothing out there saying it fell through either like with Michael Keaton almost last time so as of right now I think it's a safe bet he's in.
