The first official still from the Marvel Cinematic Universe film has made its way online, as part of what appears to be a tie-in promotional campaign with United Airlines. The photo shows Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) peering over the seats of an airplane, which conveniently have United-themed screens on the back of them.

Spider-Man: Far From Home will see Peter, Ned, and company going on a summer abroad trip, which quickly gets foiled by the former’s antics as a superhero. While Peter is content leaving his Spider-Man suit behind during the trip, he quickly gets recruited by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), which puts them all in the path of the Elementals and Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal).
“There are these threats to the world, the Elementals, elemental creatures.” Gyllenhaal explained during the CCXP panel. “And Mysterio is someone who knows about them and wants to make sure that the world is safe from them. And Nick Fury asks him to come on and help because he’s the only one who really understands them. And then he teams up with friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and unfortunately has to make him become more than a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.”
And while the film’s place in the larger canon of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already been called into question, the film is poised to be a unique companion piece to Avengers: Endgame either way.
“Much like Ant-Man, there are things that people know about that movie, which is a great deal of the movie: the villain of the movie, the storyline of the film, that we’re shooting in Europe and that Peter Parker goes on continuing that [Captain America: Civil War] was a big giant super hero class movie.” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige previously explained to ComicBook.com. “The fall out of that in Homecoming was John Hughes and him going to his high school. So that’s what’s fun to us about the Spider-Man movies. And again going from Infinity War to Ant-Man and the Wasp, the tonal shift. So, there’s a lot of fun stuff. How it connects, where it connects, when it takes place, very similar to Ant-Man and the Wasp in that we’re not gonna say right now.”
