Far From Home Spider-Man: Far From Home General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[The Caped Knight]

I'm very excited to see Spider-Man webslinging improvements since Homecoming. Infinity War we got a sample in Space on Titan.

But its like comparing Tony to Uncle Ben. you could possibly do both. it would lessens the impact of one of them if there is 2 of them though. so maybe it might have been easier to have just written the character in the first place rather than fill that gap of best friend or father figure and then attempt a second one too.

But then of course they seem to be doing something with Mysterio like that where him and peter will have this close buddy buddy thing going on. at least till they find out he was a villain all along. but then presumably the buddy buddy thing is more to give them a personal connection when it comes to the change of their relationship at fight time.

Maybe Neds subplot will be jealous of their buddy buddy relationship. you know the way these sorta stories play out.

Harry did not start off as Peter's friend in the comics. In fact, he was a borderline bully to him. Ned doesn't have to leave in order for Harry to be introduced. And by the time Harry does become his friend, Ned may be out of the picture.

I hope the second trilogy introduces Jameson, Robbi and Gwen back into this franchise. They could even supplant them with new characters like Randy Robertson, Phil Urich and Gloria Grant

Just how far with Spidey lore do you think they are gonna go with this version of spidey?

I tell you now. they didn't create and introduce for example this version of MJ for her to be a temp love interest so she can be replaced in spider-man 6. which would be the only marvel property to get a second trilogy to himself i guess.

Same with Ned really. we ain't just watching peter grow. we are watching Ned grow too. he is very much the main best friend character.

Thought I saw a different clip with Spidey at the shelter in his Iron Spider suit today on Cloak and Dagger, with some dialogue. Haven't seen that one before.

 

[Toomes' Phone]

Does anyone else think that Mysterio might not actually make his heel turn in FFH but have it be hinted at, like Mordo at the end of Doctor Strange?

I don't see Ned growing much really. MJ, sure maybe. But why would they pretend they're gonna use comic characters, when they're not and not expand the world?

We don't really know what they are gonna do with Ned. at the moment it seems like he is the comic relief side kick. and the MCU likes its comic relief. but you know they could do whatever with Ned.

I also wouldn't be shocked if Flash found out peter is spidey in the 3rd movie. it would be funny. family unit and all that.

Personally i kind of think some fans are expecting more darkness and emotion from MCU spiderman when they haven't really shown that kind of thing. they haven't mention Uncle Ben beyond a name on a suitcase, Aunt May found out he is spider-man and that was quickly brushed over. they changed MJ and made her know peter is spiderman by the second movie in a fairly lackluster fashion, especially if you expected something more dramatic in the reveal. its all very balanced to be more comedy and action mixed with emotion when it needs to or counts.

New footage

Still hurts me to this day that the show got cancelled. And honestly it feels like Marvel and/or Spidey animated series have only gotten worse since then.

Because they have. Ultimate Spider-Man was funny, but had little depth for Peter, and, aside from a few cool episodes, was pretty forgettable. Also, it had to follow SSM. The new Spider-Man series (which inexplicably got renewed for a third season) is borderline unwatchable for me. I don't care for the art or story, and the whole concept of introducing things from Dan Slott's run into a world that feels like a watered down version of Ultimate Spider-Man's (the comic) world mixed with Ultimate Spider-man's (the cartoon) world just includes all the bad things from each concept without a good core to unify them. In my opinion.

SSM had heart and guts. The others haven't. For all the grief that the MCU Spidey gets, AT LEAST it has heart.

Everything Learned In This Month's Issue Of Total Film

We've known for a while that we're getting a fresh take on the likes of Molten Man and Hydro-Man in Spider-Man: Far From Home but what's wrong with the comic book versions of these villains?

"The real nerdy inside joke here is that they're based on B-level Spider-Man baddies," executive producer Eric Carroll explains. "There is actually a villain in the comics called Hydro-Man, who's a guy made out of water but wears a t-shirt and has a haircut..." In other words, they were too silly to be adapted in a straightforward manner, hence why they're now "Elementals."

Carroll adds that the idea was to make them "kind of scary and threatening...for all the comic fans keeping score, it'll be fun to see Hydro-Man brought to the big screen in a way we think is pretty cool."

In terms of the Elementals, we know that Hydro-Man and Molten Man are being re-imagined, but what about that rock/sand-like creature in Mexico? Is that a new take on Sandman? "We went digging and found characters," Carroll teases in regards to him and another unseen Elemental. "I'm not going to say exactly which ones yet, because we want to leave some dots for fans to connect."

Peter may be mourning for Iron Man in Spider-Man: Far From Home but that doesn't mean we should expect a dark take on the superhero. "[This] isn't the start of a new, dark 'emo' phase for Peter," Watts confirms. "Even though he's gone through all these dramatic and traumatic events, he's still the same Peter Parker we know and love."

"It's seeing how he deals with those things that's interesting for me," Watts concludes.

"Nick Fury provides Spidey with this outfit [stealth suit]," Carroll reveals, "which is very much in the world of what you see with Black Widow and other S.H.I.E.L.D. characters." However, it still features some familiar elements.

Michael Mooney, an associate costume designer on the movie, explains that "The new suit still has the good old-fashioned web-shooters. It's a slightly different model in order to make them fit on, but they're the tried and tested bog-standard shooters."

In the trailers for the movie, we've seen Peter Parker working in what appears to be a hi-tech lab of some sort (and there's a lot of speculation that it's where he creates that red and black costume).

Well, the magazine reveals that this is actually a secret workshop in the back of the Stark Jet which includes a huge robotic arm and plenty of tools so, yes, it's easy to imagine the wall-crawler using it here.

"A lot of the stunts are really more explosive than in the first one," claims Ned actor Jacob Batalon. "I feel like Homecoming was more about getting your feet wet; this one really goes for it."

That's a sentiment Tom Holland agrees with. "A lot of the action in Homecoming was kind of private, more contained. This one is much more global. We've got a lot of screaming extras!"

We know that MJ's first name is Michelle but the magazine refers to her as Michelle Jones and that pretty much confirms that while she may be a different take on Mary Jane Watson, she's also a totally new character. "It's cool to be small in the beginning of a series, and grow into something later,"Zendaya says.

As for whether romance will blossom between MJ and Peter Parker, the actress chose her words carefully. "There's no hooking up in this movie. Of course, there's chemistry between the characters. They're, what, 16 year old kids going on a cool trip together, trying to figure out what they're feeling, or if they even have a feeling. Maybe we don't, maybe we're just friends."

Why are the Far From Home posters so bad? .

 

[Fallen]

I guess this will be the main poster of the movie:

[ironwez20]

New trailer leaked. Nothing new really

 

[DyeLorean]

I was getting used to Infinity War and Endgame's lack of plot and character details that I feel they spoiled a lot of stuff for Far From Home in these trailers and interviews. Hope there's a lot more to it.

 

[Gold Samurai]

I have a feeling after the MJ and Spider-man swing he'll have to stop a crime. As he swings away she says "Go get'em tiger

At least they Show Hollands ass again.

The Elementals are missing from the posters, the real draw for me in this upcoming movie.

What does she actually say that in the spot or are you just speculating she might say that line?

They must be trolling us at this point, nothing else could explain the posters being this bad.

Me too. Sony is the dog with fleas when it comes to studios, but I think (hope) we'll be OK.

 

[Kuwolski]

On the box office front, glad its tracking strong in China so far. Good 1-2 punch with NA.
