The incorporation of the prior movies’ plot twists into each new work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a formidable screenwriting challenge, and the makers of “Far from Home” meet that challenge with a graceful wit that, unfortunately, isn’t matched by much else in the movie.Įarly on in “Far from Home,” there’s a clip from a memorial video tribute to Tony Stark, Black Widow, and others among “Endgame” ’s departed, which is being shown in Peter’s school, ahead of a benefit event for victims of “the Blip”-the catastrophic event, shown in “Infinity War,” that wiped out half the world’s population. “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” starring Tom Holland as the Queens teen-ager Peter Parker, rapidly intertwines the big events that capped the “Avengers” cycle-Thanos’s mass obliteration of half of humanity and of half the Avengers, in “ Infinity War,” and the return of those victims coupled with the (likely definitive) deaths of other heroes, in “ Endgame”-with the conventional high-school life that Peter leads when he’s not Spider-Man. ![]()
