Spider-Man: Far From Home Film Details
Spider-Man: Far From Home is a 2019 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and the 23rd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Jon Watts, written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Zendaya, Cobie Smulders, Jon Favreau, J. B. Smoove, Jacob Batalon, Martin Starr, Tony Revolori, Marisa Tomei, and Jake Gyllenhaal. In the film, Parker is recruited by Nick Fury (Jackson) and Mysterio (Gyllenhaal) to face the Elementals while he is on a school trip to Europe.
Discussions for a sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming began by October 2016, and the project was confirmed later that year. Holland, Watts, and the writers were all set to return by the end of 2017. In 2018, Jackson and Gyllenhaal joined the cast as Fury and Mysterio, respectively. Holland revealed the sequel’s title ahead of filming, which began that July and took place in England, the Czech Republic, Italy, and the New York metropolitan area. Production wrapped in October 2018. The marketing campaign is one of the most expensive for a film ever and attempted to avoid revealing spoilers for Avengers: Endgame prior to its April 2019 release.
Spider-Man: Far From Home premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on June 26, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 2, as the final film in Phase Three of the MCU. The film received positive reviews with praise for its humor, action sequences, visuals, and the performances of Holland and Gyllenhaal. It grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide, making it the first Spider-Man film to pass the billion-dollar mark, the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2019, and became Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film and the 24th-highest-grossing film of all time. A sequel, Spider-Man: No Way Home, was released in December 2021.
STORY
PRODUCTION
Development
In June 2016, Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman stated that Sony and Marvel Studios were committed to making future Spider-Man films after Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). The following month, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said if additional films were made, the company had an early idea to follow the model of the Harry Potter film series, and have the plot of each film cover a new school year, with a second film intended to take place during Parker’s junior year of high school. By October, discussions had begun for a second film, including which villain would be featured, according to Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, who was signed for two more Spider-Man films after Homecoming. In December, after the successful release of the first Homecoming trailer, Sony slated a sequel to the film for July 5, 2019. Sony’s insistence that the sequel be released in 2019 complicated Marvel’s preference for secrecy regarding their plans for Spider-Man in this film and their other MCU films, since the character would die at the end of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and would not be resurrected before Avengers: Endgame in April 2019 by which time marketing for this film would have already begun.
After being able to include Iron Man for Homecoming, Sony was revealed in June 2017 to have the use of another Marvel Studios-controlled character for the sequel. Feige stated that Marvel and Sony were “just starting to solidify our plans” for the film, and felt Spider-Man’s appearances in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame would “launch him off into a very new cinematic universe at that point”, similar to how Captain America: Civil War (2016) “informed everything in Homecoming”. Marvel and Sony both wanted Homecoming director Jon Watts returning for the sequel, with Feige saying “that’s the intention for sure”, and Watts said he was signed for another Spider-Man film. Feige said the sequel would have a subtitle like Homecoming, and would not feature “2” in the title. He added that filming was expected to begin in April or May 2018. As with Homecoming, Feige said the film’s villain would be one that had not yet been seen in film. By July, Watts was in negotiations with the studios regarding his return for the sequel, and Marisa Tomei expressed interest in returning as Aunt May from the previous films.
The film is set eight months after the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. Watts felt dealing with many of the unanswered questions from Endgame posed “a fun creative challenge” for the Far From Home team. They looked to “make a movie that’s in that world and deals with those stories but is also still fun Spider-Man movie”. For example, Ned, MJ, and Flash all turned to dust during the events of Infinity War along with Parker, while some of his classmates did not and are now five years older due to the events of Endgame. Watts compared this dynamic to the film Flight of the Navigator (1986), calling the situation “really weird … but … also something you can have a lot of fun with”.
CAST
- Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man:
A high-school junior and Avenger who received spider-like abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Director Jon Watts said that, in contrast to Spider-Man: Homecoming in which Parker longs for the responsibilities of an adult, in Far From Home he wants to hang onto his youth, saying, “This film is about the world telling him, ‘It’s time for you to step up and grow up, kid,’ and he’s saying, ‘But I still want to be a kid and go on vacation.'” - Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury:
The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is now in a situation where he does not have the level of control he is used to having. Watts describes Fury’s relationship with Parker as “the mean new stepdad”, contrasting his role with Tony Stark as a “supportive cool uncle” in Homecoming, saying, “Fury sees Peter Parker as an asset that he needs who is too preoccupied with a bunch of high school problems.” Watts originally pitched Fury as a mentor to Parker in Homecoming. - Zendaya as Michelle “MJ” Jones-Watson: Parker’s classmate and love interest. Her full name, Michelle Jones-Watson, is revealed in the sequel Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
- Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill: A former high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who works closely with Nick Fury.
- Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan:
The head of security for Stark Industries and former driver and bodyguard of Tony Stark who looks after Parker. Watts noted Happy would be used to explore the idea of “trying to find your place in the world if the center of your world is gone” given his close friendship to Stark. - J. B. Smoove as Julius Dell:
Parker’s teacher and a chaperone on his school trip to Europe. The role was written for Smoove after the writers and director enjoyed his performance alongside Holland in an Audi commercial short film produced to promote Homecoming. - Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds: Parker’s best friend. His last name is confirmed on-screen in No Way Home.
- Martin Starr as Roger Harrington: Parker’s academic decathlon teacher and a chaperone on his school trip to Europe.
- Tony Revolori as Eugene “Flash” Thompson: Parker’s rival.
- Marisa Tomei as May Parker: Parker’s aunt who is aware of his secret identity and wants him to be Spider-Man more so he can help with charitable causes.
- Jake Gyllenhaal as Quentin Beck / Mysterio:
A former Stark Industries employee and holographic-illusions specialist who masquerades as a superhero from Earth-833 in the multiverse. He is recruited by Nick Fury to help Spider-Man stop the Elementals. Gyllenhaal shared ideas with the writers regarding the character’s personality, and was drawn to the idea that Beck is “manipulating everyone’s love of superheroes and that need for heroes”. Gyllenhaal wanted to play the character’s fake backstory as realistically as possible. Regarding Beck’s relationship with Parker, Watts says that “If Tony Stark was sort of the mentor in the previous films, we thought it would be interesting to play Mysterio as almost like the cool uncle.” Watts was excited to have Beck team with Fury and Parker as it introduced the character to the MCU “in a way that people weren’t expecting.”
