‘Truly one of the best superhero movies’ airing on BBC today | Films | Entertainment
Marvel enthusiasts are in for a treat as one of the ‘brilliant’ sequels from the franchise airs on BBC1 today.
The 2019 film, Spider-Man: Far From Home, cleverly intertwines the worlds of Spider-Man and Avengers.
It follows Peter Parker on a school trip across Europe, where he hopes to take a break from his superhero duties after the events of Avengers: Endgame.
However, his plans are disrupted when Nick Fury appears in his hotel room with a mission.
The world is under threat from four colossal elemental creatures, each embodying earth, air, water and fire, which have emerged from a tear in the universe.
Parker finds himself once again donning the Spider-Man suit to help Fury and fellow superhero Mysterio in preventing these malevolent entities from causing chaos across Europe.
The film features a star-studded cast with Tom Holland reprising his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Zendaya as MJ, and introduces Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio, reports <a href=”https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/brilliant-marvel-sequel-best-ever-36422327″ rel=”Follow” target=”_self”>the Mirror</a>.
The narrative picks up after the heart-wrenching conclusion of Avengers: Endgame, including Iron Man’s sacrifice, and portrays Peter grappling with grief and responsibility.
As Peter contemplates relinquishing his superhero status, the film sees Tom Holland stepping into his Spider-Man suit for the fifth time to save the day.
Among the plethora of superhero films, this one has received high praise from fans, with some even declaring it their favourite among the Tom Holland-led movies.
