The fact is that Spider-Man: Far From Home doesn’t match the scale of the Avengers films or the groundbreaking innovations of Spider-Verse. So, after its title character had been prominently featured in two of the biggest blockbusters of all time and had been redefined in one of the most remarkable films of the MCU, how could Far From Home possibly measure up or bring anything new to the table? Between the release of those Avengers films, Sony Pictures released Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Persichetti, Rothman & Ramsey, 2018), an animated, Academy Award-winning tour-de-force that took cinematic superhero storytelling, animation, and Spider-Man to another level. Then, in Avengers: Endgame (Russo Brothers, 2019), the original Avengers bring back everyone five years after they were lost and defeat Thanos, although Tony dies in the process. First, the universe comes under attack from Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War (Russo Brothers, 2018), and Peter disappears into dust when Thanos snaps away half of all life. A lot happens to Spider-Man between the release of Homecoming and Far From Home. With Spider-Man: Far From Home (Watts, 2019), the sequel to Homecoming, the filmmakers faced an entirely different struggle.
The filmmakers behind Homecoming had their own struggle: how does one make the third Spider-Man film series, and sixth Spider-Man solo film, in fifteen years feel fresh and original? They succeeded largely by imbuing the film with a high school comedy sensibility that strongly invoked John Hughes. Peter struggled in Homecoming to focus on his typical teenage life and neighbourhood superhero duties when his connection to Tony offered the possibility of joining the Avengers. Civil War was followed by the first solo Spider-Man film in the MCU, Spider-Man: Homecoming (Watts, 2017). In that film, he is recruited by Tony Stark/Iron Man to fight against a group of superheroes led by Captain America. Peter Parker/Spider-Man was first introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Captain America: Civil War (Russo Brothers.
