So...how in the HELL will Spider-Man (Far From Home?) be marketed given its proximity to Avengers 4?

He's talking about the movie itself, not the marketing for it. He means to say the movie Avengers 4 will act as a marketing campaign for Spidey 2. And I partially agree. I mean, it won't be enough but it sure will help grow hype for the Spider-Man sequel.
They should just advertise it like normal seeing as we all expect Peter to come back.
Than they can do a MGS2 twist. Peter remains dead in Avengers 4, the hero of the new Spider-Man movie is Miles.

That's too bad. They could always go with the clone saga though!
I don't know why they'd need to do this. We know Tom is in the movie. They don't need to pretend he's still dead. As long as they don't literally show the scene from A4 of him coming back to life it won't ruin anything.
There's no point in trying to trick everyone into thinking Spidey isn't in his own movie when Tom Holland himself announced the title.
Are we forgetting that Ant Man didn't get a trailer until the week after Avengers? Or is it because Spider-Man is an entirely different beast?
It's (in theory) called that because he's in Europe for the summer (well, I thought it was just London, but Wikipedia says Europe so...).
...plus there's already a Spiderverse movie coming out this year.
Yeah, this is the way to go about it. Just have scenes from act 2 of the movie, basically.
Hmm, I didn't know about the Europe thing.
I honestly think this Spiderman should have been Miles Morales from the moment he was introduced in Civil War. Would have been a great way to introduce the character and give the audience something new instead of another angsty Peter Parker story. Isn't Peters' best friend in these movies, Miles' in the comics?

Its because Ant-Man is marketed by Marvel. Spidey is Sony.
And the Ant-Man situation isnt as weird because his fate in Infinity War is unknown.
We also know it'll end with the villain losing after a big set piece in the third act, but you gotta play the game sometimes.
It's mild shocker for the audience.
But it's clearly to set up things for upcoming films.
For you to say it's stupid without seeing the payoff or result might be kind of stupid in a way, no?
Clearly we know they weren't going to kill them forever, but this has been done many times before in other stories, not just comic books.
The interest lies in what is gonna happen to these heroes now, and how are they going to bring these dead heroes back.
Right. The thing I'm saying is that it doesn't make sense for Sony to hamstring its own marketing to preserve a plot un-twist everyone knows is coming.
There's no reason for them to make Spider-Man trailers without Spider-Man in them or pretend Tom isn't in the movie for Marvel's sake. As long as they don't spoil the exact details on how Spidey comes back, there's no real harm done.
Spider-man was sandman the entire time
Doesn't seem hard.
He's pretty clearly talking about the marketing.
We know the dead heroes will end up in Avengers 4 in some (limited) capacity after they're revived, likely towards the climax/end of the film.
So an angsty Miles movie instead? Got it.
Lol we'll get Miles eventually.
Ambiguous teaser trailers skirting around the issue until A4 releases then an 8-week marketing blitz.
Pretty much.
Peter doesn't even need to make an appearance until then if we keeping it a stack. It'd be perfectly fine.
I've learned never to trust Marvel to "deal with the fallout" well. It's always either an aside or handwaived, like the entire "a lot of ppl thought I was crazy for bringing you to Civil War" offhand comment in Homecoming.
What fallout from Civil War should there have been for Spidey? Lol the entire movie is Tony trying to bring him up slowly as an official Avenger.
Only solo movie that should deal with any fallout should be the one that drops this week.
Then Peter wakes up and realizes everything since the original Iron Man was a dream and the next form of the MCU starts with Spider-Man
It would be the first Marvel movie to win Best Picture at the Oscars.
Now give me Kevin Feige's phonenumber and I'll set this up.
I saw a leaked plot point that supposedly in Far From Home...
Which seems like both films will essentially spoil eacher other if that is a big plot point to Far From Home and you see the trailer before Avengers 4
Peter is mourning the death of his mentor Tony Stark when trouble breaks out again

Close up shot of Aunt May crying: Oh Peter, I miss you so much.
Camera zooms out, we see she's looking at a computer screen of Peter in Europe.
Peter:Aunt May, it's only been a day.
Cut to Spider-Man Far From Home title card
The announcement will be like "Oh no, the city is under seige, where is Spider-man" then once End Game has opened they'll do a full trailer showing why he's in London who the baddies are, etc.
Yes. Everyone knows he isn't really dead, his return is a foregone conclusion and not a spoiler.
They'll just make normal movie trailers that kinda suck and give too much away like they always do
They wont even address the elephant in the room because they'll figure everyone paying attention already assumes he's coming back, and the ones that dont pay attention dont care either way
And theyll be right
Then the movie will come out
And it wont matter and these threads will suddenly feel silly

"The Avengers broke up."
"What? Like a boy band?"
I'm interested in how they deal with the CW fallout in Avengers 4, but I'm not holding my breath.
This is the studio that put Hulk in space with the offhand comment that he flew a jet there.
In order to beat The Sandman, Spiderman must become... sand, man!
Doesn't seem hard.
Tony and Steve never even appear in the same place. What fallout should there have been other than the team being split up indirectly playing into Thanos' hands? Should Bruce have sat them both in a room with an alien overlord on his way to Earth to wipe out half of the universe?
Y'all just making shit up lol
Sure, if you can't think more than a movie ahead. Having half the universe disappear is going to have consequences for the characters going forward regardless of whether they manage to revive everyone.
What if the trailer has peter asking May "I don't know what Mr.Stark would have wanted me to do." and he starts crying.
I think people know Spider-Man is still alive. They should advertise it just like they would advertise any other film. They just won't spoil how he was brought back from the dead, but him being alive isn't going to be a secret.
Who care if you know they're coming back? They're dead as far as the other characters are concerned. That's how entertainment works, you watch the stories to see how the characters are affected. Everyone knew the Titanic sinks, it doesn't make the movie stupid and pointless.
Also, most people who watch these movies have never read a comic book in their life and a lot of people were legitimately shocked at what happened in the movie, even if most of the people who frequent this forum were expecting the finger snap.

So you still dont think this will be bizarre and unprecedented?
I'm not taking issue with the wipe. I'm taking issue with the characters the Russos chose to erase to show it.
Without seeing Far From Home or Avengers 4 how can anyone say?
Everyone is going to see Avengers and they'll no doubt have a trailer for spider man attached. Word of mouth will do the rest.
