WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN FAR FROM HOME AHEAD. Spider-Man Far From Home was full of twists and turns, but did you notice how the mid-credits scene shock was teased early on? Fans will remember that Mysterio managed to have Spider-Man framed for murdering him, being the real villain and has his identity disclosed as Peter Parker. But allegedly this cliffhanger was teased earlier in the film, according to a popular new fan theory.
Reddit user Joshieboy_Clark writes: “In Spider-Man: Far From Home, Peter is given a pair of AI glasses from Tony Stark.
“These AI glasses are a huge part of the plot since it has billions of dollars worth of security protocols loaded into it.
“They were originally meant for Peter to use to keep Earth safe from any potential threat since Iron Man is no more.
“When Peter first uses these AI glasses we learn the AI’s name is E.D.I.T.H., which is an acronym for ‘Even Dead, I’m The Hero’.”
WHERE WAS UNCLE BEN?
They continued: “A very bitter-sweet, Tony Stark-ish joke that encapsulates Tony’s personality very well.
“In the end of the film, Mysterio uses E.D.I.T.H. for his great illusion to look like a hero in front of the world.
“After Spider-Man stops him and Mysterio dies by his own hand, the glasses are returned to Peter and the end of the movie is carried out.
“Peter gets the girl and they swing off into the sunset. Happy ending, right?”
DIRECTOR ANSWERS BIGGEST QUESTION OF SPIDER-MAN FAR FROM HOME END CREDITS SCENE
They added: “That is, until the mid-credits scene. You all know what happened.
“Mysterio’s team sent out footage to the Daily Bugle revealing Spider-Man’s identity.
“Not only this, but Mysterio’s team doctored the footage to make it appear as though Spider-Man is evil, ordering drone strikes and murdering Mysterio.
Though it didn’t go down how he originally intended it to, Mysterio still achieved his ultimate goal. Even Dead, I’m The Hero.”
