That Huge New SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Multiverse Reveal Will Drastically Change the MCU
There was a major new detail revealed in the new trailer from Spider-Man: Far From Home that tells us the events of Avengers: Endgame have drastically changed the MCU as we know it. Why? Because it introduces us to the multiverse.
If you haven’t seen Avengers: Endgame or the new Spider-Man trailer yet, watch them before you jump into the discussion of spoilers.
As most of you already know, at the end of Avengers: Endgame we see Peter Parker go back to high school after being gone for five years. While he hasn’t aged, at least half of his graduating class grew up and moved on with their lives.
The film also saw Captain America travel through time and space to put back the Infinity Stones to keep the universe intact, but maybe something went wrong with that and the MCU was shaken up in a more interesting way.
In the new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer we learn that Mysterio, who Spidey is asked to team up with by Nick Fury, comes from a different Earth! Wait, what?! This detail will certainly make the MCU a lot more interesting! Spider-Man even asks, “You’re saying there’s a multiverse?”
Now, I will say that there is a possibility that Mysterio is lying about where he comes from, but it may also explain the “mystical” abilities that he has. We still aren’t really sure what his full story arc will be. But while the trailers for the film show him as Spider-Man’s ally, a lot of fans think that he will be the real villain controlling The Elementals. I hope that’s not the case because it seems too predictable.
But if Mysterio really does end up being from a different Earth, then maybe the Avengers didn’t fix things the way they thought. The fact that Captain America fought himself and Loki escaped with the tesseract in 2012, a number of parallel dimensions and timelines could have been created.
In the end, it wouldn’t be surprising if the events of Avengers: Endgame opened up a multiverse. After all, the comics play with the multiverse, and it would make sense for the MCU to play with it as well.
But there’s always the chance that Mysterio is just bullshitting everyone to build himself up more and make himself look more special than he really is. We’ll just have to wait and see! But if the Multiverse is going to be a real thing that Marvel plays with, it’s going to be a fun way to introduce lots of new characters! Some of those characters could come from the X-Men and Fantastic Four properties.
I imagine that if this multiverse thing is true, and Mysterio isn’t lying, we are going to see Marvel Studios build up an epic new story arc over the next ten years and then watch the multiverse collide at the end of it. That would be incredible!
What do you all think about this new MCU multiverse reveal? Do you think Mysterio really is from an alternate Earth? Do you think he’s lying? What would you like to see from the multiverse? How do you think it will affect the MCU?
