Q: You've said before that Homecoming was your favorite MCU movie. Thoughts on the new trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home? — via email

Friends, I am excited about that new Spider-Man movie. I mean, you're right, with as much as I loved Homecoming, I was bound to be excited about it anyway, but I was not prepared for the pure delight I felt when I watched that trailer. Aunt May being supportive of Peter's heroism! Mysterio in his his dang bubble helmet! The incredibly important reveal that Spider-Man's birthday is two days away from mine! There's so much to look forward to!

That said, there was one other thing that raised my eyebrows about the trailer. When they announced that the title would be Far From Home, I kind of assumed that they meant that either metaphorically, or that it was going to somehow tie in to Peter going all the way out into space (and dying) in Infinity War. Instead, it turns out that they're taking Spidey out of New York and into Europe, and that's a really interesting choice.

I mean, the last time Spider-Man went to Europe, he accidentally punched Wolverine's ex-girlfriend to death.
