Spider-Man's world is out of whack. "It’s funny," smiles Tom Holland. "The first film was called Spider-Man: Homecoming, and I shot it, like, 9,000 miles away from home. And this one's called Spider-Man: Far From Home, and I live just outside the M25. So it’s a bit of a weird one…" It gets weirder. The setting may be Hertfordshire’s Leavesden Studios, but the sets span the globe: there’s a New York restaurant (chandeliers, cute lampshades, looks cosy), a Prague bar (peeling paint, ripped drapes, looks haunted) and today’s key location, a Venice canal. Gondola: check. Crystal-blue water: check. Fake baby in buggy staring at TF: brrr.
It's early August, 2018; several months after the release of Avengers: Infinity War, but several more before the release – and even the title reveal – of Avengers: Endgame. Hence a certain caginess on set about when Far From Home takes place.
