Joe Russo, the co-director of Avengers: Endgame, has explained the timeline for Spider-Man: Far From Home.
While the epic, cosmic storyline of Avengers: Endgame is now finished, that doesn’t mean things are simple again in the MCU. Thanks to all the time travel of Endgame, this has certain ramifications for Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Now, that Peter is back from the dead but five years has passed on Earth, what does this mean for the upcoming film’s timeline, especially when it comes to Peter’s school? Well, Joe Russo has explained during a recent Q&A:
“Yes, those people whom was lucky to survive the snap are five years older than the people who just got back. The reason Spider-Man saw his friend again in high school at the end was simply because his friends were unfortunately also dusted like Spider-Man was. Of course, there are people in his grade whom didn’t die and they are probably already in colleges by now.”
“To those dusted people, they had no conscious in these past 5 years,” Russo said about those who were dead. “They didn’t know what happened. It’s as if they had just woke up from a long sleep. The only one who was aware about how many years has passed was Doctor Strange, because he has already seen that when he was time mediating on Titan. Parker’s reunion with Ned was a touching moment. There are also people whom indeed moved on but suddenly were reunited with their lost ones. Yeah it’s a complicated world now.”
