I now have a feeling this commercial is not canon, considering

Yeah I agree. Technically he's 16 for almost two years according to his internal clock, but I think it would be less confusing for everyone if they stuck to the same birthdays as pre-snap.

I would say that "over five years ago" has to be taken loosely, because FFH has to take place no later than June, as it starts at the end of the school year. What makes the most sense to me is that Endgame is in October 2023 and FFH is in June 2024.

I think because the books are usually intended to be canon and not contradict the films, while the commercials don't always seem to be made with continuity in mind.

The Captain Marvel commercial doesn't seem to be canon for a few reasons. Carol is getting debriefed on the events of Infinity War before she helps take down Thanos at the beginning of Endgame, but it seems doubtful that she stopped to get caught up by some agents before arriving at the Avengers...

It seems to me like the Driver's Test commercial is non-canon, but the new one could be.

New Far From Home Audi commercial. If it's canon, it probably takes place after the movie since Peter seems to have SHIELD connections.

He really thinks no Stan Lee cameo = non-canon? By that logic, none of the movies after Endgame will be canon.

His character is also named in the book.

It can't be, in the commercial Peter is borrowing Tony's car ("it's actually my friend Tony's"), implying Tony is still around, and the instructor mentions that Peter is 15.

The book takes place during the movie, so it does delve a little further into spoiler territory than I would have liked. Most of the "spoilers" are things we already knew from the trailers, though. The book covers the entire trip to Europe, so if you want to avoid information like the fates of...

Spider-Man: Far from Home: Peter and Ned's Ultimate Travel Journal came out today. It takes place during the movie. It is mentioned a couple times that Peter is 16 (at least biologically), which reinforces Peter's August 2001 birthdate. Ned also mentions that Peter doesn't have his driver's...

I didn't notice the Missouri license plates, but I did notice that when Laura calls Clint, the phone number has a 573 area code. I immediately recognized it as a Missouri number because I live in Missouri. Pretty cool that it's consistent with the license plates.

I honestly think the best way to watch them for the first time is in release order. The post-credits scenes for Captain Marvel and Ant-Man and the Wasp spoil Infinity War, and the post-credit scene of The First Avenger is a great lead in right to The Avengers. There's a little wiggle room...

I'm in a Facebook group with the author, and she said it is canon. If we're considering all the other tie-in novels canon, I don't see why we shouldn't count this one.
