WATCH: Sony releases Night Monkey trailer ahead of Spider-man: Far From Home blu-ray release

September 19th, 2019 by Marc Comments

You have to admire the balls on Sony.

Despite the whole Spider-man fiasco going on between them and Disney at the minute, the home release of Spider-man: Far From Home is just around the corner and, to celebrate, Sony have put out this perfect trailer…for Night Monkey!

This is, of course, the funny alter-ego Ned creates for Peter while he uses the black suit in Europe in the movie (guess Spider-man Noir was off the table, huh?) and for a while some people – presumably in jest – hoped to see Night Monkey come into the MCU in the absence of Spider-man.

Well, it looks like Sony is putting there mark on that .

Check out the trailer below.

Here’s the trailer:

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
