History Trivia / SpiderManFarFromHome

* ActingForTwo: In the sense that [[spoiler:Creator/SamuelLJackson plays Nick Fury, Talos disguised as Nick Fury, and finally Mysterio's illusion of Nick Fury.]]

* IKnewIt:
** A number of fans predicted that MJ would figure out Peter's SecretIdentity on her own, which seems to have been confirmed with the second trailer.
** Just about everyone predicted that Mysterio [[spoiler:was lying out of his ass about being a hero, as was the marketing team, and that he was a villain just like in the comics]]. They were 100% right.
** While few predicted it to happen in this movie, a number of fans of ''Spider-Man'' movies made a franchise-wide prediction that [[spoiler:if J. Jonah Jameson were to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then he would be portrayed by J.K. Simmons once again due to the popularity of the actor in that role]].
** One fan theory popularized by a Nerdist video predicted [[spoiler:that the Nick Fury in the movie is not the real deal]]. On this aspect alone, they were also right. [[note]]The theory however predicted that Fury was the classic Spider-Man shapeshifting villain ''The Chameleon'' in disguise and working with Mysterio to forward his evil plot, not Talos disguising himself as Fury and being played like a fiddle.[[/note]]

** In the second trailer, Nick Fury [[spoiler:describes Mysterio as not being from “our Earth” instead of “your Earth” as in the final film, to avoid giving away the twist of Talos impersonating Fury throughout the film]].
** The scene where Peter is talking to Happy, the trailer has every traces of wounds and blood removed from Peter’s face, making it look like it is an ImmediateSequel to ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' and Peter is just mourning Tony. In the actual movie, Peter has lost all confidence in himself after blindly trusting Beck and is heavily wounded after their first big fight and the movie takes place several months after the events of ''Endgame''.
* GodNeverSaidThat: There was a kerfuffle in certain parts of the internet when Beck said in a trailer that he was from Earth 616 even though the official MCU designation has always been Earth 199999. No one involved in the MCU had ever said they were changing the designation but the people who were upset took Beck’s words as official confirmation that they were. Turns out that [[spoiler:Beck isn’t even from another universe]] and that it was simply an out of context MythologyGag.

* MemeAcknowledgment: After the deal between Creator/MarvelStudios and Sony Pictures came to a temporary stalemate in August 2019, one of the most popular jokes among fans was "[[WritingAroundTrademarks Make a Night Monkey movie in the MCU instead]]", referencing the name Ned gave to Spidey's black suit. For the digital home video release, Creator/SonyPictures uploaded a [[https://youtu.be/l6WEvHsvzOQ "Official Night Monkey Trailer"]].

** [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/movies/spider-man-far-from-home-screenwriters-twists.html According to the writers]], the TwistEnding in which [[spoiler: Peter's identity as Spider-Man is exposed in a video made by Mysterio]] was going to be different with [[spoiler: Peter publicly revealing his identity as Spider-Man during the final battle with Mysterio, an attempt to redo the earlier try during ''Homecoming'']] but it was changed to make it more of a WhamEpisode, [[spoiler:as both tries for him to willingly to do, references to ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'', fly in the face of the Peter that wears a mask to protect his loved ones]].

** Jon Watts [[https://www.insider.com/spider-man-far-from-home-director-interview-on-biggest-twists-2019-7 added the post-credits scene]] after watching ''Film/CaptainMarvel'', [[spoiler:as Nick Fury actually being a disguised Talos ultimately made something OutOfCharacter work - in Watts' words, "[Fury's] super power is being skeptical" yet the film needed the character "to be fooled in order to make the story work".]]

*** Creator/MattSmith, Creator/AndrewScott, and Creator/ColinFarrell were also considered for the role of Mysterio before the casting of Gyllenhaal. Smith would eventually go on to portray Milo in ''Film/{{Morbius|2022}}''.

** Creator/TomHolland played around with [[NeverLiveItDown his reputation of accidentally spoiling Marvel movies while promoting them]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BkYzfnXlJZg when he revealed the title on Instagram]], acting as though he was unaware that he "accidentally" spoiled the movie's title.

* RoleReprise: [[spoiler:J. Jonah Jameson is reprised by Creator/JKSimmons who also played the role in the Creator/SamRaimi ''Spider-Man'' Trilogy. In order to illustrate how significant this is, consider that it's been 12 years since Raimi's trilogy ended, or that he's only the second actor '''ever''' to reprise their role in the MCU from a non-MCU Marvel work, after Creator/LouFerrigno's cameo and voice-over roles in ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk|2008}}'' and ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.]] This carries over with some dubs of the character, as [[spoiler:in the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Jameson is once again voiced by José Santa Cruz, who, besides having dubbed the Simmons version of the character in Raimi's film series, has also dubbed Jameson in the redub of the 1960s cartoon, the 1978 live-action series, the original dub of the 1981 cartoon, the original dub of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'', and in the post-credits scene of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''; in the Latin American Spanish dub, Jameson is dubbed by Creator/HumbertoSolorzano, who also dubbed the Simmons version of the character in Raimi's film series and in ''Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse''; and in the European French and Canadian French dubs, Jameson is voiced by Jean Barney and Pierre Chagnon respectively, who also dubbed the Simmons version of the character in Raimi's film series.]]

* ThrowItIn: Mr. Dell was written specifically for J.B. Smoove in mind because director Jon Watts and writers Chris [=McKenna=] and Erik Sommers enjoyed his appearance in the ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' Audi commercial, and wanted to get him in the movie itself. The fact that he made the perfect foil for Mr. Harrington means it worked like a charm.

* DeletedScene:
** The trailer for the film showed a scene where Peter Parker, in the Iron Spider Armor, apprehending a group of bank robbers in the middle of a heist before telling the police he was leaving on vacation. This scene is used in a short film titled ''Peter's To-Do List''.
** Peter wears his regular Spider-Man Suit during the scenes at the charity benefit in the trailer but wears the Iron Spider Armor in the movie.
** A short scene which appeared in the trailer had Peter shoot a sarcastic thumbs up in response to Flash Thompson insulting him (ironically, just after he had been praising Spider-Man).
** Peter Parker sells all his toys, including a ''Franchise/StarWars'' one, to buy MJ a present. According to Creator/TomHolland, the ''Star Wars'' reference was selected by Kevin Feige, but he isn't sure which character was.
** Quentin Beck briefs his team on their plan, before sending out another energy pulse, acting as the arrival of the Elemental Fusion. Beck is contacted by Nick Fury and claims to be on his way to fight the Elemental, before breaking character and smiling to his crew.
** In the plane back to the United States of America, Peter Parker and Michelle Jones are sleeping next to each other, with Peter's head on Jones' shoulder. They briefly wake up and smile at each other before going back to sleep.
** After his aunt May welcomes him at the airport, Peter Parker puts on Tony Stark's Glasses and asks about her opinion on how it looks.

* AscendedFanon: Post-''Infinity War'', Marvel went out of its way to officially title Thanos's culling of half the universe as "The Decimation" [[note]]this would have been a NonIndicativeName since Thanos dusted 50% of the Universe’s population and “decimate” means “to reduce by 10%”[[/note]]. In the second trailer for this film however, Nick Fury explicitly refers to the event as "The Snap", which is what MCU fans have named it ever since ''Infinity War'' came out. The movie then refers to the subsequent return of all the victims as "The Blip".
