Spider-Man: Far From Home is the final film in Phase 3 of the MCU
- Thread starter Ukumio
- Start date
The way the phases are split is kinda meaningless. Something as standalone and inconsequential as Antman being the end of phase 2 sealed that for me.
I knew FFH is set after Endgame, but I won't pretend I remembered something as small as that, so I don't blame other people for have missing that
It works in either spot tbh
I'm viewing it as a bonus epilogue, I also doubt it hints much about what's next.
if sony really thinks the general audience will be entertained with a non-MCU spiderman, especially after a series of movies where spiderman finally has been in the MCU, then they really are not in fucking touch with the world. or they just don't want to accept the fact that spiderman and the spiderman universe will not be as successful or have the best storytelling without the rest of the marvel universe.
"phase" is just speak Kevin Feige to get Disney's suits behind the whole "interconnected films" business initially, and it's what keeps the production monies flowing, imo. A realistic "beginning" and "end" to a series of films, so that it's not just seen as an unending series of big budget movies hurtling through the unknown.
This phase business is confusing.
Are all the MCU movies supposed to be on the same timeline and all related to each other? I thought only the Avengers stuff were their own thing but the other movies weren't that related, even though Ironman shows up on the spidey movie.
Argh, so confusing!

No. They're all connected
It's set minutes after Endgame.
Yes, all in the same universe and timeline. All connected, including the Avenger movies.
I mean yeah. A company out of touch with the world. Creates the Amazing Spider-Man movies. Seems consistent to me
right...so going along with what PhilosopherDirtBike said, it doesn't make sense to have a standalone movie like antman or spiderman after the conclusive ensemble film
they created the amazing spiderman movies before joining the MCU. they did so because the asm series failed. so you'd think they'd give up on the idea of doing spiderman shit on their own. looking bad, the asm series was probably a wasted investment on their part
You said earlier you agreed with me, but okay, not a hill to die on lol
i agree with you but i see his point as well. not everything has to be about a hill to die on
I would believe it. There is a least a one year gap between Homecoming and Infinity War.
Black Panther made 700 million domestic. The chances of him staying dead is less than 0
Little to nothing.
But if you really want to search for meaning it basically means that Spider-Man Homecoming will be more tied in with the "Infinity Saga" than whatever is going to happen in the next Phase's arc.
Think of it as a bit of an epilogue to a season finale rather than the next season's premiere.
My theory is that Sony is the one who insisted on getting Spider-Man out at this time and if Feige had his way completely it wouldn't be out until Fall or next year. Them advertising Spider-Man whilst his fate is still relatively unknown in Infinity War was probably not ideal.
No offense but I don't how you can to that conclusion that it's pre-Ininity War. Yes it's a spoiler. Black Panther, Guardians and Doctor Strange are also getting sequels
Yeah, that's my point. ASM failed. But Venom and Spiderverse didn't. My worry was that Sony, as baffling as ever, would decide to take back the reins
The bigger spoiler is that they are photos of
Nick Fury talking to him in the noir suit. I think is a pre infinity war movie
Wait, so minutes after endgame means everything is reverted back ala time travel. If a school can go on a trip to Europe after a universal genocide and the trauma and damage it would do to earth it has to be timetravel / parallel universe stuff. Hope I'm wrong because that would be lame. I much rather have the world moving forward as is in universe and mankind evolve into something new after the events. Some heroes have to return, somehow, but make this event be a turning point for earth in universe.
A larger slice of what pie? Because Sony is the one bankrolling these movies, Sony is the one that gets the profit from them. There is no "larger slice of the pie" to negotiate for because the entire pie belongs to them.
Let's ignore that basically everyone in charge at Sony Pictures when the ASM movies were made doesn't work there anymore (Pascal is the only one involved in these movies at all, and she's just a producer working as the go-between for Marvel and Sony because her and Feige have a good relationship), and it's an entirely new staff that's actually been on a pretty good run lately (Jumanji and Venom being the prime examples).
Why? Did anybody think spider-man was dead and wouldn't be in any more movies after the deal with Sony and the amount of money these films make?
Thanks for bringing reasoning into this.
Kaz replaced all of Sony Pictures management with former Fox employees. Vinciquerra, Hopkins, Rothman.
Disney is gaining X-Men and Fantastic Four. They don't need Spider-Man. If Sony can make their SUMC work, why would they withhold their ability for Spider-Man to appear? FFH would have to make an obscene amount to justify it.
It makes little sense for Disney to produce Sony movies nor would it do justice to the Spider-Man franchise.
People seem to forget what Disney has been all about these last couple of years: building good relationships. Steve Jobs gave up Pixar, Lucas gave up Star Wars, Marvel joined, etc. They intend to have a great relationship with Sony. Both from gaming to movies. They want to continue this relationship for the foreseeable future. Disney is a good partner (as long as you sell out when they take their wallet out).
