Moviegoers can make their next return trip to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on July 2 when Sony and Marvel Studios release “Spider-Man: Far From Home” in theaters. The second solo “Spider-Man” movie in the MCU, the film follows Peter Parker on a globe-trotting adventure as he takes a school trip to Europe. Once there, he is recruited by Nicky Fury to help a mysterious, new figure fight beings known as the Elementals.
