So. New Spiderman: Far From Home trailer dropped today. Why am I posting in this thread?
Because the Snaps tore open a hole in reality and have enabled access to the Marvel Multiverse. Mysterio is from another Earth. I presume this all but confirms the X-Men will be following as well.

Or....hear me out....Mysterio could be lying cuz he's a bad guy. If that's the case, call me when live-action Peter Porker shows up. Honestly, I could care less about seeing the X-Men any time soon. I'm pretty sure Feige confirmed they won't be part of phase 4. FF, on the other hand......

Eh, that seems a bit too on the nose for me. They've already run a Fury-gets-duped storyline with Pierce in TWS, and it's Nick that states it in the trailer. Tying this back to Endgame and treating it as an epilogue that opens a wider multiverse makes the most narrative sense to smoothly transition in the huge cast they've just gotten access to. Heck, if this version of Mysterio has actual powers (being from an Earth where that's not rare, or it's a side effect of the Snap) and isn't the classic smoke and mirrors version, he could well BE a mutant. That said, I don't expect the X-men soon either, and truthfully, I don't want them either. Just pointing out this is a pretty easy backdoor for it. Give time for the recent awful movies to fade away before bringing them back, unless they go with more of the obscure characters as the "starter set", which I wouldn't put past them considering they've made such success out of exactly that so far. On the other hand, MCU trailers are routinely full of complete shit, so who knows. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out though.

"I'm too busy doing your guys' jobs." "OOOOOOH!" I love this Spider-Man.

On the multiverse things, this is a great move for Marvel from a meta sense too.
Tom Holland's Venom is really popular, but he's obviously not from the MCU? Crossover realities briefly, like this. Want to use Michael Fassbender's astonishingly good Magneto but don't want to spend a movie on his origin? Reality crossover.
Hell, bring back Tesseract Loki from the TV series later because this establishes that the Pym Particle time travel isn't the only way to cross over. They have dug themselves a MOTHERLODE of storytelling potential with this.

Or....hear me out....Mysterio could be lying cuz he's a bad guy. Yeah...I can't be the only one thinking that this could be a whole Thunderbolts-style scam. I was kinda hoping to get a Tbolts style story from Infinity...especially with the 5 year gap. Problem with that though, is that there aren't enough notable bad guys to really fill out a team. I have to admit though...the parallel Earths thing did make me grimace simply because of how often The Flash has gone to that well.

When I hear multiverse, first thing that actually popped into my head is this is how they are going to bring back a certain someone from the end of Endgame. Either an alternate version or as a different actor all together. Like a mini heroes reborn or when they replaced him with a younger version. Not saying I want this to happen just what I thought.
As for the new Spidey, this looks so much better than Homecoming and Mysterio looks amazing. But yea, multiverse and all that, I just want to call BS knowing that Mysterio is the master of illusion after all. And Tom Holland continues to grow on me as Spidey. The police in the restaurant need some ointment for that burn. But I do have to say Peter is being awfully loose with the whole secret identity thing.

I'm just glad that god damn high tech Spider Suit seems to go away. I hope it's destroyed. Fuck that thing.

so it turns out there's a fan-edit floating around called "The De-Femenized Cut."
