Are the Avengers dead? 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' trailer seems to think so

Sony and Marvel have released the first trailer for the sequel to 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. 

The Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer starts off with Peter Parker played by Tom Holland back home with Parker's aunt May (Marisa Tomei) chilling with him as she introduces him at a homeless support centre and then high-fives him backstage.

Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) makes an appearance in the trailer with Parker then packing for his school trip to Europe and decides to not take his suit, saying, “Europe doesn't really need a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man". 

The international trailer, which has slightly more footage, reveals that May packs it for him anyway. In Europe, Parker starts to bond with his crush MJ (Zendaya), and just as he's discussing that with his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon), Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) shows up.

“I think Nick Fury just hijacked our summer vacation,” Parker tells Ned later, which delights him.

The trailer also introduces Mysterio, a longtime Spider-Man rogues’ gallery villain, played by Jake Gyllenhaal.

However, the question which is on everyone’s mind is, where are the earth's mightiest heroes, the Avengers? Fans have been left wondering whether Spider-Man: Far From Home is set before the events of Infinity War or after those of Avengers: Endgame when all of the Avengers were decimated including Parker and Fury.

Moreover, fans seem to be unanimous that the film is set after Avengers: Endgame and Tony Stark is already dead. To begin with, there is no Downey Jr in the trailer despite being Parker’s mentor. We also see Hogan telling Peter that he’s “all alone.” Fury also asks Spider-Man if he’s “going to step up or not,” implying the need for a leader.

Spider-Man: Far From Home arrives in theatres on July 5.
