Must Watch // Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
Peter Parker’s relaxing European vacation takes an unexpected turn when Nick Fury shows up in his hotel room to recruit him for a mission. The world is in danger as four massive elemental creatures — each representing Earth, air, water and fire — emerge from a hole torn in the universe. Parker soon finds himself donning the Spider-Man suit to help Fury and fellow superhero Mysterio stop the evil entities from wreaking havoc across the continent.
The post-credits scene in Far From Home is possibly more crucial to the overall story of the MCU than the rest of the film. It’s revealed that Talos and his wife were impersonating Fury and Hill while Nick was away, which means major events in the movie didn’t even involve the real Fury. This raises some serious questions about what we thought we knew about the MCU, and it’s not the first time Talos has pretended to be Fury. This revelation is sure to have far-reaching consequences.
