Spider-Man: Far From Home Trailer - 11 Easter Eggs And References You Totally Missed
5. The Sixties Spidey Theme
By far one of the coolest parts of the Far From Home trailer was when it shifted to its orchestral score, and when everyone realised what it was inspired by.
The sixties Spider-Man TV show might be a bit of a meme these days, but people forget it also created the most iconic Spider-Man theme ever released. Paul Francis Webster and Robert Harris' composition is so legendary that Michael Giacchino even composed a riff on it during the opening of Homecoming, but he stopped short of doing a full recreation.
That doesn't look to be the case with Far From Home though, which features a swelling, orchestral version of the catchy jingle in the closing stages of the teaser. Needless to say, there'll be no complaints from web-heads if it features throughout the sequel. Its Spidey's quintessential song, and with a modern update it takes on a whole other level of brilliance.
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.
