Spider-Man: Far From Home takes over late night this week
By Matt Moore
Spider-Man: Far From Home will have a big presence on late night television this week.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have barely recovered from Avengers: Endgame but it’s already time to gear up for Spider-Man: Far From Home. The next Marvel movie hits theaters on July 2 and late night is doing its part to promote the film this week.
Late night television has become a major part of the promotional tours of superhero movies. While late night always helps plug movies, there has been a special dedication to Marvel and DC movies over the past few years due in part to the popularity of the movies and the crossover in audiences for both the movies and late night shows.
Recently we’ve seen the cast of Aquaman sit down with Conan O’Brien, the Avengers: Endgame cast take over Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and now we’re getting more from Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Cast members Tom Holland, Zendaya, Cobie Smulders, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jacob Batalon already stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! together back in May. If you missed that episode, want to see it in its entirety, or just watch it again then check out ABC on Wednesday June 26 for a repeat. Fans can also catch a repeat of Cobie Smulders’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers from June 17 on Friday June 28.
If you’re looking for new interviews, and possibly new clips and news about the movie, then you’ll have a few different options. Here’s where Spider-Man fans can see stars Tom Holland and Zendaya this week.
Tom Holland
Spider-Man himself Tom Holland kicks things off Monday June 24 with an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It will be Holland’s first visit to the top late night show in the country.
Earlier this year, Colbert interviewed Holland’s costar Jake Gyllenhaal, who discussed the differences between making indie films and making a giant Marvel movie. Expect Colbert to ask Holland about the experience of having an A-list star like Gyllenhaal join the cast for the sequel.
On Tuesday June 25, Holland sticks around New York to appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers. As a big comic book fan, Seth Meyers will no doubt be excited to have Holland on the show to discuss both the reaction to Endgame and the anticipation for Far From Home. Holland was on the show back in 2017 where he shared a pretty funny story about meeting “Robert Downey Jr.”
Zendaya
Zendaya, known to Spider-Man fans as Michelle “MJ” Jones, will also be out promoting the movie. You can see her on Tuesday June 25 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Like Tom Holland, it will be Zendaya’s first visit to The Late Show. She should be able to provide a different perspective on Far From Home than Holland or Jake Gyllenhaal as she plays a character without any superpowers yet is still an important part of the movie.
Zendaya also could discuss her HBO series Euphoria that premiered last week. While the content of the show has been labeled controversial, the actress has been praised for her performance in the starring role.
This week should be a nice way for Marvel fans to prepare for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Like all the other Marvel movies, this one has an extremely likable cast led by Tom Holland and Zendaya. Tune in and enjoy the shows this week and check back with Last Night On for all the highlights.
