Synopsis
Bringing Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a close, Spider-Man: Far From Home begins where Avengers: End Game ended with those taken by ‘the snap’ returning to existence. Specifically, we see Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and friends returning to high school after the five year. Interestingly, we get an explanation of where those who survived the snap have been for the last five years…The final word is they have moved on with their lives and are now five years older.
In this Marvel installment, Peter and friends are headed to Europe on a science field trip. Of course, nothing in the Marvel Universe can be easy. As they arrive, a series of weather anomalies have wreaked havoc on Earth yet each have been thwarted by a new superhero named Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal).
This fun romp is a great way to end Phase 4 given the devastation witnessed at the end of Avengers: End Game.
A quick word to the wise: There are two… you heard me TWO end credits season. And one of them is a whopper so keep your booty planted.
