Peter Parker has a job to do. Is he going to step up or not?
Sony Pictures has released the first teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Far from Home, the sequel to 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming. In the film, our friendly neighborhood superhero (Tom Holland) decides to join his best friends Ned Leeds, Michelle "MJ" Jones, and the rest of the gang on a European vacation. However, Peter’s plan to leave superheroics behind for a few weeks are quickly scrapped when he begrudgingly agrees to help Nick Fury uncover the mystery of several elemental creature attacks, creating havoc across the continent.
The two-minute, 30-second trailer opens with Peter's aunt, May Parker (Marisa Tomei) thanking Spider-Man for appearing at a benefit for the homeless. After being swarmed by photographers, Spidey gives the crowd two thumbs up and later high-fives Aunt May backstage.
Harold "Happy" Hogan (Jon Favreau) suddenly arrives with a big novelty check for $500,000, signed by Pepper Potts, and apologizes for being late. Happy awkwardly compliments May on looking nice and she responds in kind. "New dress?" asks Happy.
"Yes, it is," smiles May. "How'd you know?"
Peter watches the two flirting back and forth, until Happy abruptly stops after realizing that he's been watched. "What just happened?" asks Peter.
As the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" starts playing, we see Peter as he starts preparing for his school trip to Europe, buying toothpaste and picking up his passport from the Post Office. Aunt May runs down the last-minute checklist with Peter, asking him if he packed his suit.
We see Peter in his bedroom, debating about whether to pack his Spider-Man suit. He closes his closet door, as we hear him say, "I just wanna go on my trip with my friends. Europe doesn't really need a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man." Peter then closes his suitcase, with us left wondering if he packed his costume or not.
After boarding the plane, we see Peter and his friends in Venice, Italy, enjoying a gondola ride and taking pictures. Later that night, Peter and MJ (Zendaya) are dressed up in some sort of hall. "You look really pretty," compliments Peter.
"And therefore, I have value?" replies MJ in a deadpan tone.
Peter shakes his head no, looking flummoxed, until MJ says, "I'm messing with you. You look pretty, too."
In a separate scene, Peter talks to Ned about just wanting to spend some time with MJ, and Ned starts talking about the first time he fell in love. Suddenly, Ned pauses in mid-sentence, with a tranquilizer dart in his neck, and collapses to the floor. Peter hears the thud, turns and is shocked to see Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) sitting behind him.
"So nice to finally meet you...Spider-Man," says Nick.
"You're Nick Fury," remarks Peter, taking the toothbrush from his mouth.
"Put some clothes on. Let's go for a ride."
Peter gestures to Ned, who is sleeping on the floor and snoring. "Is he gonna be okay like that?"
"You might want to turn him over, so he doesn't swallow his tongue," replies Nick.
As the European trip moves to London, England, Peter remarks in a voiceover. "I think Nick Fury just hijacked our summer vacation."
We see a fleeting glimpse of Nick and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) firing their weapons at a large rock creature, along with a lightning storm directly over the Tower Bridge. "You got gifts, Parker," says Nick, "but we have a job to do. Are you going to step up or not?"
Next, we quickly glimpse a fire creature, Peter in his stealth Spider-Man suit, and a large water creature in Venice before seeing Happy advise Peter, "We're all alone, your friends are in trouble...What are you gonna do about it?"
As Peter fights the water creature, Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) suddenly appears in a cloud of smoke. "You don't want any part of this," says Mysterio as he attacks the water creature with some sort of energy and flies around it. Mysterio's traditional bowl-shaped helmet from the comics appears as well.
In the final scene, Peter and his classmates are watching a TV news report about Mysterio. Betty Brant (Angourie Rice) asks, "Who is that guy?"
"He's like Iron Man and Thor rolled into one," replies a male classmate.
"He's no Spider-Man," remarks Eugene "Flash" Thompson (Tony Revolori).
"What is it with you and Spider-Man?" asks MJ.
"What, he looks out for the neighborhood, has a dope suit, and I really respect him," replies Flash, before turning his attention to Peter. "'Sup, Dickwad?" he says to Peter, not realizing he's Spider-Man.
