If you've been patiently waiting for new details on the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel, Spider-Man: Far From Home, you've come to the right place. After the emotional devastation from Avengers: Infinity War, many fans were left wondering what would happen with our favorite web-slinger. Turns out, he goes to Europe on a Summer vacation of his life!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Far From Home will "deal with the fallout" from Thanos's destruction, which makes sense since it will be released after the highly anticipated Avengers: Endgame. Though some may feel like even knowing there will be a sequel to Homecoming is a big old spoiler for Endgame, we're probably safe since all we have are theories about how Endgame is going to shake out. So, if you're just as excited as we are about seeing our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man back in action, scroll on for all the juicy details we have about Far From Home before it slings into theaters on July 5.
The Title
Tom Holland, who's notorious for accidentally revealing MCU-related spoilers, had some fun with his reputation when he announced the sequel's title. On June 23, the actor revealed to Instagram that he finally got his hands on a script for the film. Although he apologized to fans for not having any other "real revelations coming," Holland quickly flashed an iPad screen which revealed the next installment will be titled Spider-Man: Far From Home.

The Plot
Far From Home seemingly takes place after Endgame, with a totally corporeal Peter Parker doing his thing back home in New York City. He and his friends embark on an epic Summer vacation with a school trip to Europe. Amid the typical high school shenanigans and a budding romance with MJ, Peter is recruited by Nick Fury to handle the latest threat to the world — the Elementals. He meets Quentin Beck, the villainous Mysterio, who has actually also been recruited by Fury to help stop them. Considering how the two get on in the comic books, we're sure that's going to go down well.

The Cast
Thankfully, Far From Home welcomes back all your favorites from Homecoming! Of course Tom Holland is back in his Spidey tights; Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, and Jacob Batalon all reprise their roles as Michelle "MJ" Jones, May Parker, and Ned. Tony Revolori brings back Peter's school-rival-slash-Spidey-fanboy Eugene "Flash" Thompson, Jon Favreau is back as Happy Hogan, and Hemky Madera returns as our favorite bodega owner, Mr. Delmar.
Of course, no superhero film works without their bad guy. Jake Gyllenhaal joins the Far From Home cast as Quentin Beck, the classic comic book villain known as Mysterio. Michael Keaton also makes a reappearance as Adrian Toomes, which has us wondering if the Vulture will be up to no good once again.
