Spider-Man: Far From Home is the start of Marvel Studios' phase four, which will begin a new age for the company now that we will be seeing some major changes after Avengers: Endgame. The movie is also going to be introducing an interesting dynamic between Peter Parker and Nick Fury, which will make fans of Brian Bendis and Mark Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man very happy.
Fans might not be too familiar with this relationship but Far From Home director Jon Watts has given a fairly decent explanation about how these two will be like in the movie. While Tony Stark was more of a supportive mentor to Peter, Fury is being described as a "mean new step-dad," which sounds like a lot of fun.
Here is Watts' full explanation from USA Today:
"If Tony is like the supportive cool uncle, Fury's more like the mean new stepdad.Fury doesn't see himself in Peter Parker. Fury sees Peter Parker as an asset that he needs who is too preoccupied with a bunch of high school problems. Part of my pitch for the very first movie was bringing Nick Fury in and making him the mean substitute teacher."
This definitely sounds a lot like their relationship from Ultimate Spider-Man. In that universe, Fury wanted Peter to be a better superhero and wanted him to get over all of his angst. In due time, Fury would learn to let Peter be and even respect him as a superhero who doesn't need to be monitored or groomed. Seems like Far From Home could be the beginning of this relationship in live-action.
Spider-Man: Far From Home comes out on July 2.
