What kind of relationship will we see between Spider-Man and Nick Fury in Spider-Man: Far From Home?

The Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer dropped, and it looks just as fun as Spider-Man: Homecoming. While there wasn’t a lot addressed, but we did learn a few things. First, there’s nothing that can be done to make Mysterio look cool. His costume is too goofy. Second, Aunt May seems to be cool with him being Spider-Man. Her putting his costume in his luggage with the note was sweet. We’re also going to explore the MJ and Peter Parker relationship (YAY). Lastly, we have visual confirmation that the great and mysterious Nick Fury is in the movie.

It’s always cool to see Nick Fury in Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, but it never bodes well for the heroes. Whenever Nick Fury shows up to ask for a favor, make sure you get a binding contract stating he owes you one, and even then, nothing you can do will ever make you guys square. Why? It’s because whatever Nick Fury wants you to do will almost certain be immoral.  And he’ll probably deny he owes because he said he saved you from something you didn’t know about. Spider-Man is not exempt from the Nick Fury favor. Here are two prime examples of their rocky relationship.

Peter Parker and Nick Fury’s Secret War

More from Movies

In Earth Prime (Universe 616), Spider-Man has helped Nick Fury a few times. Too bad that’s a few times too many. The most notable was the time he almost got Spider-Man and group of heroes killed. Nick Fury recruited a handful of Earth’s greatest heroes (Captain America, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Black Widow, and Spider-Man) under false pretenses. The mission ended when Nick Fury had his protégé, Daisy Johnson/Quake, topple Latveria with her vibration powers, killing an untold number of people. Nick Fury erased their memories and a year later, the former ruler came back to life and tried to kill them all.

Spider-Man would never have been part of something that would have gotten innocent people killed, but Nick Fury took it upon himself to involve Peter anyway. Makes you wonder what he has in store for Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Far From Home. There’s no way it was a coincidence that Peter was going on that school trip. Don’t be shocked when you find out that Nick Fury planned this to get Peter’s help.

Ultimate Spider-Man

The relationship between Fury and Spider-Man was completely different in this universe. At first, Nick Fury seemed like he was a jerk (and he was). He would keep tabs on Peter and his family and sometime use them as bait to catch criminals. Obviously, this didn’t sit well with Peter. It came to a head a few times, but none as bad as when Fury ordered his men to kill Peter’s best friend, Harry Osborn.

Harry was out of control and had been transformed into a goblin like his father, Norman. Rather than try to reason with him because Harry was pleading to be killed, they shot him repeatedly. When it was over, Peter punched the eye-patch right off of Fury’s face. Fury told Peter to go home and started planning for Peter to stop being Spider-Man.

On the flip side, Fury really cared about Peter Parker as a man and admired his resolve. Fury said he wasn’t sure if he was witnessing the growth of the next super villain and said considering everything Peter went through, he wouldn’t be shocked. However, Fury later admitted to him that he was so hard on him because he expected him to be one of the greats, even becoming a member of the Ultimates one day. When Peter died, Fury went to Mary Jane and told her that he blamed himself for Peter’s death. It was the first time I’ve ever seen this hardcore man cry.
