How Avengers Endgame Completely Changes Spider-Man: Far From Home's Trailer

2. Could Nick Fury Be Trying To Start The New Avengers?

So far, no one really knows why Nick Fury and Maria Hill are involved in the next Spider-Man film. It's obviously tied to Mysterio in some way, and it might even be possible that Fury is using Peter as a means to get closer to Jake Gyllenhaal's character in order to discern his true intentions. However, for the time being, we have relatively little to go off.

That may even be the case despite the added context provided by Endgame. Peter doesn't meet either Fury or Hill at Tony Stark's funeral, and though there was a look at what's to come with Captain America, Guardians, and potentially even Black Panther, Spidey's future wasn't addressed.

Until last week, Far From Home was considered to be the first entry in Phase Four. Kevin Feige clarified the film's status last week, saying that "It's the end of the third phase." But even though that may now be the case, audiences can still expect the film to tee-up the future of the franchise; perhaps not to the scale seen in Endgame, but still, there will be set-up for future Marvel movies in Far From Home.

With Iron Man gone, Thor in space and Black Widow dead, it's clear the Avengers need a reshuffle. Could that be why Fury's working with Peter? He already assembled a team once before. Who's to say he won't do it again?

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
