<p id="4YuEAf">Just like its predecessor, <em>Spider-Man: Homecoming</em>, <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/1/15/18128912/spider-man-far-from-home-first-trailer-mysterio"><em>Spider-Man: Far From Home</em></a><em> </em>is packed with little references and jokes. Or, at least, judging by its first trailers, it is. </p>
<p id="52eTao">Some of them are obvious, some of them are subtle, and some of them give us some pretty big hints about the movie&#8217;s villains. Let&#8217;s dig in. </p>
<h2 id="VPiFTI">Is Tony Stark still alive? </h2>

<p id="EBpwme">Unclear. The charity event that Spider-Man is appearing at in the trailer appears to be in celebration of a $500,000 donation from Pepper Potts. This might mean Tony&#8217;s gone. Or it might just mean that Pepper, as Stark Industry&#8217;s CEO, is signing the checks &#8212; which we can all agree is a responsible reaction to Tony &#8220;Impulse&#8221; Stark. </p>

<p id="uzub8X">Aside from the erasure of years, so that Marvel fans won&#8217;t <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2017/7/10/15947528/spider-man-homecoming-marvel-timeline">stress out trying to make sense of the MCU timeline</a>, Peter&#8217;s passport reveals his birthday, Aug. 10. The date is also the day that Spider-Man made his comic book debut in the pages of <em>Amazing Fantasy</em> #15 in 1962. (We can assume Peter is a little younger than that, though.) </p>

<p id="WHobVH">The monogram BFP on Peter&#8217;s suitcase is a clear nod to his late uncle and mentor, Ben Parker. What does the F stand for? Ben Parker has no canonical middle name, so perhaps &#8230; the F is a sign of respect. </p>

<p id="HAPBFW">The Viennese hostel that Peter and company call temporary home is named in tribute to J. M. DeMatteis, a long-time writer of Spider-Man comics in the 1980s and 1990s. Matteis penned beloved stories like <em>Kraven&#8217;s Last Hunt</em>, the early &#8217;90s return of Harry Osborn as the Green Goblin, and the beginnings of the infamous <em>Clone Saga. </em></p>

<p id="cuNswZ">It seems pretty likely that the elemental monsters &#8212; one made of water, one made of sand, and one made of fire &#8212; who appear in the trailer are illusions created by Mysterio to make himself look cool. That, after all <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/21/17369660/spider-man-far-from-home-mysterio-powers-jake-gyllenhaal">is his entire MO as a supervillain</a>. </p>
<p id="DhT5CF">But the boat behind Ned in this shot is solid evidence that even if they are illusions, the element monsters are also deliberate nods to other Spider-villains. <em>Amazing Spider-Man </em>#212 (&#8220;Asm 212&#8221;) marked <a href="http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Amazing_Spider-Man_Vol_1_212">the first appearance of Hydro-Man</a>, a villain who can take the form of water. And you&#8217;re probably familiar with Marvel&#8217;s Sandman from his appearance in 2007&#8217;s <em>Spider-Man 3 &#8212; </em>he&#8217;s a guy who can take the form of sand, and a dead ringer for the rocky-sandy monster in the trailer. </p>

<p id="l2q39H">He could very well be <em>Spider-Man: Far From Home</em>&#8217;s interpretation of Molten Man, a metallic Spider-Man villain who could heat his surface until anything that touched it was incinerated &#8212; sometimes <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_Man">he&#8217;s even been able to take on a lava form</a>. </p>
<p id="Tu8Jir">This leaves us with only one question for <em>Far From Home</em>: Where&#8217;s the air-villain? </p>
