The latest installment in a venerable franchise, Spider-Man: Far From Home honors its original source -- the Marvel comic book series created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko -- by combining great action sequences with a welcome sense of humor. We follow Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man (Tom Holland) as he travels to Europe, hoping to win the heart of M.J. (Zendaya), but his responsibilities as a superhero come with him as well, leading to a fun and exciting adventure.
Swinging into theaters on a wave of positive advance notices, Spider-Man: Far From Home is now playing in theaters nationwide. What's coming up next for those of us who love movies that deliver action with a sizable sense of humor? Here are three to tickle anyone's fancy.
