Looks like there's a good chance the trailer will debut on Saturday, December 8th:

Man, three highly anticipated Marvel trailers all dropping in the same week! When was the last time that happened?

 

[TonyD]

Didn’t?

Didn’t?

Didn’t?

It was shown at a convention in Brazil today but Sony decided to keep it exclusive for the attendees for now.

I think that's smart. I still expect it to be on Spider-Verse, but dropping it online early next week (like, say, Tuesday or Wednesday) creates some distance from the Endgame trailer, which Sony has to know is still a hot topic of conversation among Marvel fans. By next week, it will have subsided just a bit more than it has now.

On another board I read that Sony is calling theaters asking them to delete the trailer from the hard drive for Into The Spider-Verse. If this is true, I'm trying to figure out what the reason is for the change. I can't think of a better time to promote Far From Home.

Could be that the trailer showed footage that Marvel did not want out yet.

That opens up an interesting question about how much input Marvel has over the marketing versus Sony.

 

[Jeff Adkins]

The guy clarified his original statement and went into more detail. Apparently they have a press screening scheduled for Thursday for Holmes And Watson. The Far From Home trailer was attached to that hard drive, not Into The Spider-Verse. Sony called and asked them not to show it. When he said, "Sony asked us to delete it from our system," I (wrongly) assumed it was attached to Spider-Verse.

Still, the original point stands. Why would you not have that trailer running in front of all those Spider-Man fans this weekend?

Could be. I always assumed that Marvel Studios would have been the one putting together the trailers, but perhaps not.

The latest date I'm hearing from multiple sources is Tuesday, December 18th for the trailer, which makes no sense.

Still, the original point stands. Why would you not have that trailer running in front of all those Spider-Man fans this weekend?

Exactly. It's insanity not to have a trailer for next year's high-profile Spider-Man feature film attached to this year's high-profile Spider-Man feature film.

Let's assume that the latest rumors are wrong, and the trailer does play before Into the Spider-Verse starting Friday evening. The movie itself has showtimes starting late Thursday afternoon. A lot of those earliest screenings will be priced at at premium, if recent trends are any indication. It seems crazy to potentially charge fans more and exclude something from their experience that the general audience will get at regular pricing the next day.

I believe that marketing and distribution are Sony's prerogative on this film. Which doesn't mean they wouldn't take a note from Marvel necessarily, but I don't think they're obligated to do so.

The entire existence of this film requires them to say in marketing that Spider-Man is alive, even though he won't be brought back to life until Endgame. Even if they didn't trailer it on Spider-Verse, they would have to trailer it before April 26 for a July 5 release, because that's just how marketing works these days. Marvel knows this, and knew it when they decided to kill Spider-Man in Infinity War in the first place.

So it might as well go on Spider-Verse, because it has to come out before Endgame does. There's no way that we will be able to experience Endgame believing that Spider-Man stays dead, and that's fine with me, because even if Far From Home wasn't two months later, there's no way I would believe he was staying dead. As I said in the Doctor Strange thread, the question now is how, not if, they will get the dead characters back.

Where did you get your idea that they would start screening the trailer Friday evening? I'm not trying to fight here, I just feel like I missed something. It seems to me that either it will be on Spider-Verse, which as you noted starts screening Thursday, or it won't. I agree that if it's not, that would be a waste of resources on Sony's part. But perhaps they want Spider-Verse to stand alone. If so, that's admirable I suppose, but both the MCU Spider-Man and Venom have appeared on screen this year, so obviously they're entering a world where multiple franchises derived from this comic property already exist.

Also, for the record, it does not appear that the early screenings here are not being priced differently than a normal movie at that time.

That had no basis in anything, just a middle of the night insomnia-driven hypothetical. It was based on a) my feeling that it'd be insane not to have the Far From Home trailer attached to Into the Spider-Verse on its opening weekend, and b) Sony apparently doesn't want the trailer out Thursday if they're stripping it off of a Thursday preview screening the Will Ferrell Sherlock Holmes movie.

Trailer descriptions give an interesting twist to Mysterio as well as explaining the different Spidey suits. Sounds intriguing.

 

[Sam Favate]

Trailer is supposed to arrive today. Here is the first poster:

Trailer!



Looks like tremendous fun.

 

[TonyD]

International trailer has alternate voice over and scenes.

Countdown to when someone complains that we are supposed to think these characters are dead....

 

[TonyD]

Anyway I saw Mysteriowith the bowl on his head, the costume looked great.
Molton-Man
Hydro-man
Rock-man?
Someone standing next to Fury who could be Danvers?

Gwen Stacy?

Mysterio probably creating the elemental creatures to look like a hero after taking them out and Spider-man revealing him as a fruad and Leading to Mysterio wanting to get Spide-man for doing that.
