This article, like the trailer it centres on, is heavy on Endgame spoilers.

Now we know just why Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame , last week declared Monday the conclusion of the #DontSpoilTheEndgame campaign, which kicked off with their April 16 open letter to fans, urging them not to spoil Endgame “for others, the same way you wouldn’t want it spoiled for you”.

On Monday, Sony and Disney released a trailer for this summer’s Spider-Man: Far from Home, the sequel that serves as the end of phase three of the US$21 billion Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hot on the heels of Endgame’s second massive weekend, Spider-Man star Tom Holland opens the three-minute trailer by saying directly to the viewer: “If you haven’t seen Avengers: Endgame yet, stop watching, because there’s some serious spoilers about to come up.

“But if you have seen Avengers: Endgame, enjoy the trailer.”

And with that, Sony and Marvel have pulled off a rather sly feat – simultaneously piggybacking on the peak interest in Endgame while also creating an extra incentive for lagging MCU viewers to get to a cinema quick to see how the Avengers film ends.
