Your friendly, European Spider-Man

Life is good for Peter Parker. Under the guise of his Super Hero alter ego he’s helping clean up the streets of New York one bad guy at a time; he’s managing to juggle crime-fighting with his studies; and Peter’s aunt, May hasn’t freaked out over her discovery of his secret identity. But there’s one thing he still craves – the life of a regular teenager… Hoping to shake off some responsibility for just a few weeks, Peter joins his schoolmates and heads to Europe for the summer vacation of a lifetime. But when disaster strikes – accompanied by the arrival of one Nick Fury and the enigmatic Mysterio – Peter realizes that being a super hero is a full-time job. But is it one he’s really ready to take…

CREATING SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

Why did you decide to set much of Spider-Man: Far From Home in Europe? Jon Watts: The goal with these films has always been to show Spider-Man in a way that you haven’t seen him before. We chose European locations because we wanted to take Spider-Man out of his comfort zone. Except for when we went on a trip to Washington D.C. last time, I’ve never seen Spider-Man outside of New York, so I thought it would be fun to see him on a school trip across Europe. How did you decide on which cities to film in? Eric Carroll: When we started thinking about taking Spider-Man to Europe, we wanted to make sure we visited a bunch of different-feeling locations. Europe’s got this great thing where you can be…

CREATING SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

THE STORY SO FAR

When teenage student Peter Parker, a self-confessed science and tech geek, was bitten by a radioactive spider it gave him spider-like abilities. Peter used his powers to fight crime in his neighborhood of Queens, New York. Six months later, Peter was visited by Tony Stark, who sought to recruit him to his team in the fight against Captain America in Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Civil War. Stark gifted Peter a high-tech Spider-Man suit, which he wore in the standoff against Captain America at Flughafen Leipzig-Halle Airport. Two months later, Peter was back at Midtown School of Science and Technology, struggling to settle back into teenage life with his best friend, Ned Leeds, who shared the secret of his friend’s alter ego. Peter dreamed of taking part in another Avengers-level mission,…

THE STORY SO FAR

PETER PARKER/SPIDER-MAN

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: Were you a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before you were part of it? Tom Holland: I remember watching all the Marvel Studios movies as a kid and being in awe of them and being a fan. I guess I was so young I never realized that the films were intertwined; I didn’t know that Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and Nick Fury all existed in this same world. So, when I saw The Avengers for the first time, it totally blew my mind. I remember seeing the trailer. I watched it with my friend – we used to go and watch all the Marvel Studios movies together – and I think both of us were in the same boat: We…

PETER PARKER/SPIDER-MAN

Creators: Stan Lee & Steve Ditko When Spider-Man debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962, he changed the face of comics publishing. There had been plenty of comic book costumed heroes prior to Peter Parker, but the world hadn’t seen anything like Spider-Man before. Quite apart from Spidey’s bizarre powers and full-face mask, one of Lee and Ditko’s major innovations was to ramp up the angst of Peter’s everyday existence, saddling him with social awkwardness and a private life that seemed to mete out humiliation after humiliation – just like a regular teenager, in fact. As a result, Peter was a more relatable protagonist than his Super Hero forebears: a shy bookworm whose civilian problems were only compounded by becoming Spidey – not least when his inaction led to…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: Were you a Spider-Man fan before you got the role of Mysterio? Jake Gyllenhaal: I’d seen all of the incarnations of the Spider-Man movies, including the last movie, which I loved. So when Marvel Studios asked me to be a part of this I was really excited, because I think that Tom Holland is the best Spider-Man yet. You seem to really connect with your character. I think the thing about a lot of the characters in Marvel Studios films is that they do have to connect to something real in the person playing them. That’s why they resonate. There has to be some kind of truth, even in a mythological universe. I’ve talked to Marvel Studios over the years about playing…

Creators: Stan Lee & Steve Ditko With his “fishbowl” helmet and eye-like cape clasps, Mysterio was one of the most visually striking of Spider-Man’s early nemeses, a testament to Steve Ditko’s terrific design sensibilities. Making his first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #13 in June 1964, Mysterio was revealed in that issue to be Hollywood special effects wizard and stuntman Quentin Beck, who posed as Spider-Man in order to carry out a robbery, then set himself up as the hero who would bring the real Spidey in. Beck met with defeat in that debut appearance (numerically speaking; chronologically, he was later revealed to also have been a disguised “alien” in Amazing Spider-Man #3), but returned to plague Peter Parker numerous times, both on his own and as part of super-villain team…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: How would you say Nick Fury’s relationship with Maria Hill has developed over the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies? Samuel L. Jackson: When Hill first showed up, we weren’t sure that she wasn’t a plant by the establishment to report on us and make sure that we were adhering to the rules. I think we swayed her and got her on our side. We used to look at her askance; now she’s more of an ally. Our relationship has mellowed over the years to the point where we had this interesting discussion the other day about how she’s the only person who calls me Nick. Everybody else refers to me as Fury. If we can use that as any kind…

Creators: Stan Lee & Jack Kirby From World War II soldier to ’60s superspy, Nick Fury’s early trajectory reflected both the changing fashions at Marvel and those in wider popular culture. Though his initial adventures were set during the Second World War, Fury actually debuted in May 1963, leading his Howling Commandos in their own eponymous comic book through numerous battles with the Nazis, before his creators, Lee and Kirby, brought him into the (then) present in Strange Tales #135 (August 1965). Now reimagined as a Bondesque spy, Fury was established as the lead agent of worldwide espionage outfit S.H.I.E.L.D., a state of affairs that persisted for the next half-century (helped in no small part by writer/artist Jim Steranko’s iconic take on the character). When, as part of Marvel’s Ultimate…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: Where do we find Maria Hill in this film? What frame of mind is she in? Cobie Smulders: She’s pretty exasperated at this point and in dire need of a vacation – which is funny, because this is Peter’s vacation, in a sense. All Maria Hill wants to do is lie on a beach with a piña colada. But it’s fun jumping into this movie and being in this situation where people’s lives are at risk. Yes, we have to try and save and protect as many human lives as we can; but at the same time, we’re fighting the elemental beings. How has Maria grown over the course of the MCU films? I think that she’s seen a lot of things.…

Creators: Brian Michael Bendis & David Finch A relatively recent addition to the Marvel Comics universe, Maria Hill debuted in New Avengers #4 in March 2005 as Acting Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., inheriting the organization from Nick Fury (who was at that point in hiding). Whereas Fury had always been something of an ally for Marvel’s heroes, Hill viewed costumed adventurers with suspicion, even going so far as to abduct and interrogate Spider-Man shortly after he became a member of the then-recently reformed Avengers. Her skepticism became more concrete during the 2006 Civil War event, when she led the charge against those heroes who had refused to sign up to the Superhuman Registration Act – although ironically, at the close of that episode, she wound up as Acting Deputy Director of…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: Putting your actor’s hat on, what’s it like to be part of the MCU? Jon Favreau: It’s fun working on another director’s set, especially Jon Watts, who really has a vision for this character and these storylines. I had a lot of fun on Spider-Man: Homecoming because I got to work with the core group that was in Iron Man. What’s fun about this series is that Spider-Man is a smart kid, understands tech, but also is struggling with the mantle of being a hero and what that means. Did you originally take Happy on just as a fun cameo? I thought at first it was. His role was credited as Hogan; it was more an Easter Egg for the fans. We…

Creators: Stan Lee, Robert Bernstein & Don Heck Much like his Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart, Happy Hogan has been a part of the Marvel Comics universe almost as long as his boss, Tony Stark. But while Tony has pulled off a death-and-resurrection or two in his time, Happy seems to have met a more final end. Harold “Happy” Hogan debuted in Tales of Suspense #45 in September 1963 – six months after Iron Man’s debut in #39 – in a story that saw Happy pulling Tony from the wreckage of a crashed sports car, a courageous act that prompted Stark to give the former boxer a job as his chauffeur and bodyguard. A couple of years later, gravely injured after being caught up in a battle between Iron Man and…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: Is it fun being part of the MCU? Marisa Tomei: It’s fun because I get to meet so many different actors on the different sets and then also see the same people again and build on the characters that I have. For me, it’s like a vaudeville act – I come in and then I’m gone. Have you enjoyed returning to the role of May Parker? Yes – the relationship with Peter has grown and changed, and other romances come and go. That’s fun. You kind of know who she is, but at the same time, you have to remember, too, before you show up for work again. What is the story of this film? Peter and his friends go to Europe…

Creators: Stan Lee & Steve Ditko For a supposedly frail old lady, May Parker has proven remarkably resilient over the past half century or so, surviving numerous near-deaths and more shocks and surprises than is entirely healthy for someone of her advanced years. Widowed in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962 when her husband Ben was murdered by the robber that Peter Parker, as Spider-Man, had failed to stop, May Parker’s everyday existence only became more eventful as Peter’s dual identity began to impact his home life. She was romanced by Spider-Man’s bitter enemy Otto Octavius, alias Doctor Octopus; her later sweetheart, Nathan Lubensky, died protecting her from another of Spidey’s nemeses, Adrian Toomes, alias the Vulture; and for a time, May was replaced by a genetically altered actress as part…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: What’s it like being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Zendaya: No pressure, right? It’s awesome. I mean, I have definitely learned more about the MCU than I thought I would in my entire life. Now I find myself answering questions from my family when they go to watch the movies; “Okay, so, this is how this happened…” It’s definitely changed my life. I’m sure there are millions of people that wish they could be a part of this, and I’m the lucky person that is. Life’s good! Give us an overview of Spider-Man: Far From Home. It’s about Peter Parker understanding who he is and what he really wants. One of the things he really wants is my character. She is referred to…

MARY JANE WATSON

Creators: Stan Lee & Jon Romita Sr. She began as little more that a running joke – an unseen potential paramour for Peter Parker, repeatedly pushed by Peter’s aunt, May in the early days of The Amazing Spider-Man. But with her full unveiling in The Amazing Spider-Man #42 (November 1966; she had appeared in #25, but her face was obscured by a flower), Mary Jane Watson made an indelible mark on the Spider-verse, not least via her uttering of the immortal words to Peter, “Face it, Tiger… you just hit the jackpot!” Over the ensuing years MJ was cast as something of a rival for Peter’s affections with Gwen Stacy, but with the death of Gwen in 1973, MJ assumed more prominence. MJ and Peter’s subsequent on again/off again romance…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: How does it feel to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Jacob Batalon: Pretty amazing! Fans are so adoring, and it means a lot to be considered as a part of it. I don’t think there’s any other better feeling right now. Ned is a very likeable character. The character was written as very sweet and kind and warm and loving. It was really easy for me to just embrace that. I love Tom [Holland, who portrays Spider-Man] and I love Zendaya [MJ] and I love Tony [Revolori, who portrays Flash]. It’s easy to love them, so acting wasn’t hard! Are there many similarities between yourself and Ned? I’m nice and sweet – definitely, but I’m not as eager and willing…

Creators: Stan Lee & Steve Ditko A prime example of the bizarre fates that frequently befall comic book characters, Ned Leeds started his existence as a love rival to Peter Parker and ended it as a homeless clone who died in Spider-Man’s arms. First appearing in The Amazing Spider-Man #18 (November 1964), Ned was a Daily Bugle reporter who competed with Peter for the affections of Betty Brant, Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson’s secretary. It was a rivalry that Ned would eventually emerge from as victor, when he and Betty married, with Peter acting as best man. That the marriage ceremony was interrupted by super villain Mirage would turn out to be the least of Ned’s worries; a decade on he was murdered by thugs working for the mercenary the…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: What does it feel like to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Tony Revolori: It’s amazing and astounding. There are obviously so many talented actors, so to be among that crew and that group is really, really honoring and beautiful. It’s really nice to come back for a second film. We’ve got some new faces and some old faces, which is really cool. But it was just nice to be welcomed back by the same crew and cast and catch up again. Can you give us an overview of Spider-Man: Far From Home’s story? Peter Parker is back as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. As Peter, he’s just hanging out with his friends and going to school and doing all his things.…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: How does it feel to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Angourie Rice: The MCU is massive! There’s so much to this universe – Avengers, Black Panther, Spider-Man… it’s very exciting even to just be a small part of it. What’s Betty’s role? At the start of Far From Home, Betty is expecting this to be just another school trip. But a lot of unexpected things happen along the way. She gets together with Ned, Peter’s best friend. They’re kind of “the couple” on the trip, and that’s very exciting for the both of them. How would you describe Betty and Ned’s relationship? Betty and Ned’s relationship is interesting, because I don’t think they’re people you’d expect to get together. The two of…

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: How would you describe Spider-Man: Far From Home? Martin Starr: We actually don’t know anything. They wouldn’t even let us see the prior movies. I think it had something to do with us being a security risk. I don’t know why they would feel that way… JB Smoove: For some reason, I got a really weird vibe from everybody. Like, when you walked up when they were rehearsing a scene, everybody just shut down. It’s like you could hear a pin drop! How does the film fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe? JS: This Marvel Cinematic Universe is embedded in secrecy. So many little nuggets here will determine the outcome of future movies. They call it a Marvel Cinematic Universe for a…

THE LOOK OF SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: What is it like to work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Claude Paré: Well, right away on the Marvel Studios Disney lot in California, as you get off the elevator you’re surrounded by all the characters from the MCU – you’re literally walking straight into it! When I started to work with the director of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Jon Watts, and with writers Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, I quickly realized that there was a lot I didn’t know about the MCU. We were talking about films that hadn’t come out yet, and there were all sorts of backstories that I didn’t know. But I quickly got involved with learning more and became interested in all the interacting stories with the…

THE LOOK OF SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: Was it a big challenge to create an updated costume for Spider-Man? Graham Churchyard: I used to buy the Spider-Man comic when I was a kid. Obviously, I didn’t realize that later I’d be making a Spider-Man costume! You kind of approach it like any other job, but halfway through you wake up and realize that [what we’re doing] is a marker of how Spider-Man now appears. I feel like we’re custodians of an icon. Michael Mooney: We’ve both done a lot of specialty costumes, so you think you know it’s gonna be difficult. But you don’t know how technically difficult it’s really going to be. It’s probably one of the hardest costumes you could work on. GC: You’re trying to achieve…

TOM HOLLAND ON THE COSTUMES OF SPIDER-MAN

“Robyn Gebhart, our wonderful seamstress, who made the suits for Spider-Man: Homecoming, amazes me every time we get to work with each other. She truly is an artist and a master of her craft when it comes to building these Super Hero suits. It’s weird, because it’s like wearing a work of art. They are so realistic, and they look exactly like you’d imagine them out of the comics that it’s almost disappointing that you’re not Spider-Man. It looks so realistic that it feels like you should be able to climb walls and shoot webs. The final suit in the movie is an amazing reveal, and kind of an homage to Iron Man in the way that it’s made.”…

DIVING INTO SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME’S FIGHT SCENES

GEORGE COTTLE STUNT COORDINATOR/2ND UNIT DIRECTOR Spider-Man: Far From Home: The Official Movie Special: What kind of challenges have you faced filming action sequences in foreign countries. George Cottle: One of our biggest action sequences is the Molten Man battle. We filmed it about an hour outside of Prague in a beautiful town square called Liberec. Prague has always been a fantastic place to shoot, and filmmakers have created a lot of really great movies there for many years. It’s exciting just being there. The hardest thing was trying to do this on the scale we wanted to try to achieve and get it on camera. We had some massive explosions and some of the square was set on fire. There were also some huge set pieces – a giant…
