If you haven't seen Avengers: Endgame yet, you'll want to swing away from the new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer as fast as possible.
Sony on Monday debuted a new trailer for the upcoming sequel, which is so heavy with spoilers for Avengers: Endgame that it actually opens with a warning from Tom Holland. Major spoilers for Avengers: Endgame will follow.
It soon becomes clear why that warning was necessary, as literally the first shot is Peter Parker in mourning, making clear that the film will heavily focus on how Peter grapples with the loss of his mentor. Not well, clearly. "Everywhere I go, I see his face," Peter says, referring to Tony Stark.

Happy Hogan suggests that Peter could be Tony's successor, but Peter is reluctant, just wanting to enjoy a school trip even as Nick Fury tries to recruit him for an Iron Man-level mission.
Far From Home will explore the fallout of Endgame in more ways than one, though. In a jaw-dropping reveal, Nick Fury tells Peter that Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) is from another Earth, as "the snap tore a hole in our dimension." The word "multiverse" is dropped here, as it was in Doctor Strange.
What's odd about this is that Endgame suggested other timelines would be created as a result of time travel, not of Thanos' snap, leading some fans to believe Mysterio is lying to Fury. If not, the introduction of other characters from the multiverse could be the start of something huge for Marvel.
Either way, it looks like Far From Home will be functioning as something of an epilogue to Marvel's Infinity Saga and the official end of the studio's third phase. The film opens on July 2. Brendan Morrow
