(looks at thread title, screams internally)
It does look like that...but I'm still not sure they went the right way for Mysterio. But I could be wrong... I mean they could be setting him up to APPEAR as a hero, much like his origin story...

Well I do remember reading someplace that

Yeah, I don't think Ol' Bubblehead suddenly has superpowers or is a hero. My guess is he has access to (or has built) some special effects technologies ("hard light"/photonic molecules and hologram projectors) to stage villain emergencies so that he can rush in to save the day. Some sort of long con to get him greater fortune and fame to feed a likely massive ego. Maybe even set Mysterio up thematically like the Vulture & Wizard Tinkerer from S:HC as a warning of the evil side of technology-wielders as a counterpoint to Pete & Tony Stark's use, and get Pete thinking along those lines to plant seeds toward his own Parker Industries some day.
Edit: I like that they are already showing Flash Thompson as having genuine respect and admiration for Spider-Man.
Ambrosia,
So you think maybe we'll get Agent Venom down the road? ;)
But yeah that's my guess too. He's just staging it just like he did in the comics (albeit more mundanely) to appear "heroic" in the eyes of others.

The MCU incarnation of Spider-Man is the best ever, hands down. I thought SM: Homecoming was great.
That said, Flash Thompson is a pathetic shadow of the character in the comics. However, he's light years ahead of the new 'MJ'. At least Flash shares the antagonist traits of his early comic-counterpart. Michelle has nothing in common with Mary Jane. I don't know why the just didn't treat Michelle as a purely original character (which I would have been completely ok with them doing instead).
We liked both in Homecoming.
Joke I saw elsewhere said the perfect ending would be the cast flying home at the end, getting on a bus to go to school and then Infinity War started.

That’s certainly what I’ve heard.
Although I don’t think they’ve actually said ‘minutes’. I think Marvel has said something a bit less specific, like “directly after Endgame” or “just after Endgame” which could mean a few days, or even weeks after ...
But it’s definitely supposed to happen soon after Endgame, not before, according to what Marvel has said

Yeah this is my take as well, although the Elementals could be real entities he has somehow figured out how to manipulate.
A reset/mindwipe is no doubt going to happen so there are not mass amounts of people suffering from mental trauma from IW/EG
Even though I really don't want to see them die, having some of the old guard leave wouldn't be a bad move. Real world reasons due to actors not wanting to be their characters for the rest of their lives/physical workouts being too demanding also factor in.
Plus I wonder how much Peter will remember. Especially with the potential of Stark dying.
All I know is Old bubble head is totally showboating for the Avengers.

My guess is time travel, which was already alluded to in Antman and Wasp. Don't need to do a mindwipe if you start something from every happening!
^Thanks for the heads up!
Carry on,

Or maybe just ask a mod to rename this thread.
[peeve] Or, you know, stop naming new threads after the freaking trailer and instead name it after the show/movie. [/peeve]

I also like that in this trailer MJ comes right out and confronts Peter about being Spider-Man. Since she isn't Mary Jane Watson, it'd be nifty if she got powers somehow too.
I love how this Quintin Beck/Mysterio is claiming to be from another Earth through a hole/gateway caused by the Snaps/unSnaps. It builds on the viewer's metaknowledge/nerdy speculating, and it calls back to both the recent Into the Spider-Verse movie and a Mysterio/Spider-Men comic storyline. It's an utter horsesh!t ruse -- this Mysterio has to be a fame- & wealth-seeking conman villain -- but the way the trailers are playing it, most viewers will not see the twist coming. And it helps show-not-tell build Mysterio into a smarter, believably-motivated villain. I hope we see in the background of Beck's lair/headquarters GyllenhaalBeck photoshopped into some real movie posters/magazine covers replacing Tobey Maguire and/or Andrew Garfield as the lead actor.

I mean he could still be the real villain AND from another universe
MMCJawa,
Fun fact, in the first Spider-man cross over, it was Mysterio who was hounding Ultimate Spider-man Miles Morales when Peter Parker (616) shows up there. So...inklings of Spider-verse maybe?
Also I don't trust Mysterio to NOT be the bad guy.

Yeah...which is why I think the Multiverse angle COULD be true...comic book precedence.
Well I'm not against it, in the sense "Hey look! We got a Multiverse!" "That's nice. Hey there's Ghost Rider over there. Ask him about that book he had."

What did you think Spider-Man: Far From Home was going to be about if he didn't?
Maybe Quark thought it would be some kind of Spider-verse thing, DQ.
Captain America though isn't Spider-man...I mean they're both decent fellows, but one is clearly a living legend while the other is still a teenager...
Quark,
I'm still waiting for Thor and Valkyrie to sword and Mjolnir up...
Saw it. It was really good. Not mind blowingly amazing but definitely really good. The big fight scene had spidey at his comic book fighting best, combining peters intellect with spideys absurd agility.
You absolutely want to stick around for both the mid credits and end credits stingers. After a brief absence in Endgame they're back.
^ Thanks for not spoiling any details.

I saw it last night as well. Fantastic. I'm not entirely sure that it's better than Spiderverse, but for me it's pretty close.

Haven't seen it yet, but I've...heard things.
I sincerely hope they're opening the door for Chameleon to be the next villain. That could be awesome. You could start out like the comics, with him using practical disguise effects. Then, a little into the movie you could up his game by having him steal a formula based on research from the dead Skrull in Captain Marvel.
A-zombie.
Where the next film goes on what they do with the mid-credits sequence.
The other option is that it's true and Parker spends Spider-Man 3 trying to deal with it, but in the end can't, so flees to another timeline where his identity is safe, thus allowing him to exit the MCU if Sony decide to pull the deal.

Saw...I loved it...
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
hahahahaa.. that plot point actually came up (with drinking. Twice)

Saw it, loved it. But I do have a concern.
I did like how they had someone from Iron Man in this.

Negatory.
More interesting is that the basketball game shows the people disappearing in some pain, like Parker, but rematerisalising instantly, in some cases still playing their instruments. That suggests that Banner also erased people's memories of their "deaths," instead having them reappear with no cognitive awareness or memory of dying, which probably saved several billion in psychiatrists' fees right there.
