I cannot wait.  I'm all for Aunt May being Peter's Spiderman publicist there.  I LOVE the souped up Spiderman Marvel music!  And I will happily take Zendaya's non-canon MJ over Kirsten Dunst's whiny b

All Peter has to say is that he clearly cannot be Spider-Man, since he is- in actuality- Night Monkey.

I hope the movie doesn’t treat Mysterio stage-managing all this to make himself look cool as a big twist, since it’s pretty obvious to anybody who knows anything about the character.

It looks like a lot of fun.

Nick Fury so faded into the background in Phases 2 & 3 that I initially thought he might be a permanent casualty in Infinity War just because he was a recognizable character that they no longer seemed to have much use for.  But he’s coming back in a big way in 2019.

Yeah, I completely agree.  Also, this version of Flash Thompson has grown on me. At first I was very meh on him.  But this version certainly fits with this group of kids more than some over muscled  jock/frat boy cretin would for sure.

I hope Betty has more to do in this one. I really enjoy the actress. A cute little romance with Ned would be nice.

You should. lol. And to think there used to be a time when I didn't watch trailers.

I like that these kids look like normal high school kids, not the CW version of that.

This looks so delightfully charming! I can’t wait to see Aunt May as Spider-Mans PR person, more of Peters relationship with MJ (I love Kristen Dunst, but her MJ was a whole lot of boring), and seeing Spider-Man in a new location! And I geek out every damn time I hear the old Spider-Man song!

Doesn't that give away to secret though? I mean it's cute and, all but, seems a bit weird now that i think about it.

I had concerns about Spiderman showing up in Europe but this looks like Spidey really won't. Like most of the time Peter is trying to be on the down low. 

Loved Aunt May embracing Peter as Spiderman.

Don't love Happy and May but the thing is... early reports made it seem like it was a thing in progress. But it seems like EVERY man can't help but flirt with May and that was all that was happening. 

I just love MJ, "I am just messing with you." she clearly likes him but may not know how to react to such things and always reacts but pretending like she doesn't care. 

The teenager / John Hughes vibe is still strong and if Betty is there seems like she might have joined academic decathlon?  

Do have to side eye at Peter not getting any spider sense at Nic Fury sitting in his room but maybe it is because Nick isn't a threat to him. 

One thing, what happened to Peter's bedroom? It was wayyy bigger in the last movie.

Aw, I think she comes across as pretty confident even though it's obviously still a new-ish thing for them.  I like that she teases him and challenges him, and challenges the 'standard flirting dialog' (which I think is kinda more of an anti-John Hughes vibe and I love that too!).  Especially when she tells him he's pretty too.  :-D  

I wondered about Fury and Peter's SpidySense too, but I like that idea... that he doesn't sense him because Fury' isn't a threat.

I wish the Marvel movies cared more about romance, because I do think this Peter and MJ have the most potential as a couple than anyone in the MCU since Tony and Pepper.

But I'm pretty sure what's going to happen is flirting that doesn't go anywhere.

I think Marvel gave up on romance since the ones they tried flopped big-time (Thor and Jane, Black Widow and Hulk). Now any kind of romance is a jokey side plot (even Tony and Pepper have been reduced to that, and don't get me started on Ant-Man and the Wasp) or nothing.

But that means they'll never do a movie where the love story is actually central to the movie and the plot, like in the early Superman movies, and the early Spider-Man ones. If they have an actual good couple at the center there could be real potential there, and I think these two could have it. But they won't do it.

I don't agree.  They've been taking a slow build with this potential relationship; it's clearly meant to be important.

I wouldn't say that Marvel gave up on romance either before -- Star-Lord and Gamora would be another case of a slow build relationship, one that was given a ton of weight in Infinity War and was certainly central to their tragic story there.  How that will play when/if the movies continue further remains to be seen, of course.

Is there a reason it's Fury instead?

I suspect that post Endgame, Fury is back in charge of SHIELD. 

But I feel like Tony is probably fine (just otherwise occupied) since Happy is flirting with Aunt May... it just seems like that would be kind of awkward otherwise.

I could see a girl who looks like Angourie Rice on the CW, but she'd have to be aged at least a few more years. Zendaya, maybe, but I'd think she'd have to be playing an adult on a Flash type of show.

But yeah, they (and I guess Laura Harrier) are the only ones that come even close to fitting the mold.

The previous two Flashes were muscle-bound 26-year olds so it's still interesting to me how they remade his character.

Wasn't Jake Gyllenhaal offered Spiderman when Tobey Maguire decided to leave the franchise? This feels full-circle.

One weird thing about it is that it seems to give away the idea that no one is traumatized about what happened with Thanos.

Just in case

To the spoiler, that is one theory. Also that the characters are different preexisting  Marvel  characters but with similar powers to the ones you named

I thought that was Thor in the screenshot. Lol. 

So they are going there with it being after Hulk's snap, so its 2023 in the MCU now. Its good to see Maria Hill again she hasn't done much since Winter Solider. 

Expand  

Where to place her into the story would be a question. Nick Fury was also missing in that period. They both showed up above Sokovia, and Maria Hill had contacts with Phil Coulson on TV where as Nick Fury showed up in the action on Agents of SHIELD.
