Tom Holland's Spider-Man Returns in Spider-Man: Far From Home

According to Marvel's Kevin Feige, Tom Holland's Spider-Man has Avengers 4, which will then lead on into the Homecoming sequel.

Far From Home Is the Second Part of a Trilogy

In 2014, Marvel's Kevin Feige approached Sony with the idea of bringing Spider-Man into the MCU. Marvel proposed that Sony should keep the license; the studio would pay for the movie, distribute it, and market it. Marvel, however, would make the film on Sony's behalf. What's more, they'd be able to incorporate Spider-Man into the MCU. Sony initially rejected the proposal, preferring to continue making their own films. The box office failure of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 forced the studio to reconsider, especially after their discussions with Marvel went public when Sony was hacked in late 2014. Sony convened a Spider-Man summit in February 2015, and agreed to accept Marvel's proposal.

The original deal was for Marvel to make a Spider-Man trilogy, with a new film releasing every two years. Spider-Man: Homecoming released in 2017, Spider-Man: Far From Home is due for release in 2019, and Tom Holland has confirmed a third film is in the works - presumably to release in 2021.

Who Else is Back In Spider-Man: Homecoming's Sequel?

Certain key characters will return for Spider-Man: Far From Home, including Marisa Tomei's Aunt May, Jacob Batalon's Ned Leeds, and Zendaya's Michelle, as well as some of Peter's other classmates. There have been rumors that Laura Harrier will return as Liz Allen too, although she seemed to have been written out at the end of Homecoming. Samuel L. Jackson and Cobie Smulders will reprise their roles as dogged former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Nick Fury and Maria Hill, and Jon Favreau will also be returning as Tony Stark's right-hand man, Happy Hogan.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Will Feature The Elementals

While Spider-Man: Far From Home will introduce the first big-screen version of classic Spider-Man rogue Mysterio, he won't be the only villain featured in the movie. So far we've seen three of the Elementals (though there may be more): Hydron, the lord of water; Magnum, the master of earth; and Hellfire, wielder of flame. Interestingly, however, Easter eggs in the Far From Home trailer linked each of these Elementals to other Marvel rogues with corresponding powers - Hydro-Man, Sandman, and Molten Man. It's possible that the Elementals in the movie will be an amalgam of different characters.

Mysterio is the Villain of Spider-Man: Far From Home

It's been that confirmed that Mysterio is the main villain of Spider-Man: Far From Home, and three of the Sinister Six hasn't gone unnoticed either; there's a clear sense of direction to this.

Mysterio won't be a straightforward villain, however. In fact, just like his first appearance in the comics, he will at first present himself as a superhero, and he will even team up with Spider-Man to fight the Elementals. We're obviously anticipating a heel turn at some point in the movie, since it would be a bold move to make Mysterio a full-blown hero, but for now his motivations remain cloudy.

Marvel May be Casting Gwen Stacy for Spider-Man: Far From Home

There have been intriguing rumors that Marvel is conducting auditions for the part of Gwen Stacy. Two audition tapes have leaked, each showing a little-known European actress auditioning for the part. It's prompted speculation that Marvel could reinvent Gwen as a foreign exchange student who pays a visit to Peter's school. Given fans had expected Zendaya's Michelle to become the primary love-interest in the sequel, Gwen appearing on the scene would certainly throw a spanner in the works!

Who Else is ing the Cast of Spider-Man: Far From Home?

So far, there have been relatively few new casting announcements for Spider-Man: Far From Home. J.B. Smoove has ed the cast and appears to be playing one of the teachers who accompanies Peter and his classmates on the school trip. Smoove actually played alongside Holland in an Audi commercial back during marketing for Spider-Man: Homecoming, and the two actors had a strong and entertaining dynamic.

The Story of Spider-Man: Far From Home

Avengers Infinity War Spider-Man Stark Suit

Spider-Man: Far From Home is set in the summer, with Peter and some of his friends going to Europe for a summer vacation. Robert Downey Jr. played a major role in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but this time around it will Nick Fury who watches over the young superhero's progress - and recruits him for a new mission. That mission involves teaming up with a mysterious new "superhero" called Mysterio against a collection of powerful enemies called the Elementals.

There have been consistent reports Marvel is casting a "femme fatale" for the movie. Evidence is building that this character may be both grander in scale and even funnier than the last one." Here's the official synopsis:

Peter Parker and his friends go on summer holidays to Europe. However, the friends will hardly be able to rest - Peter will have to agree to help Nick Fury uncover the mystery of creatures that cause natural disasters and destruction throughout the continent.

There Won't Be Connections to Venom and Silver & Black

After months of confusion, it's now been officially confirmed that Venom, but that won't be enough to consider them canon.

Jon Watts Returns as Director

Jon Watts Directing Spider-Man: Homecoming

In July last year, there were reports that Jon Watts was in talks to return as director of the Homecoming sequel. Those were confirmed by Kevin Feige at Brazil's Comic-Con (CCXP). Nobody was particularly surprised; Homecoming was a tremendous success, and Watts certainly got the feel for everybody's favorite wall-crawler.
