Story
Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far from Home begins with Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and his friends MJ (Zendaya), Ned (Jacob Batalon), Betty (Angourie Rice) and their classmates going on a class trip to Europe. Meanwhile, Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulder) begin investigating strange natural disasters that appear to be otherworldly.
When the school trip is invaded by giant monsters, Peter is forced to team up with Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal), a mysterious new superhero who claims he is from another version of Earth.
As Peter tries to save the world again and work out how to tell MJ how he feels about her, he begins to realise that Mysterio might not be who he seems. Peter and his friends might be in more danger than he thinks.
