Drumroll, Please: This Person Answered All Our Spider-Man Trivia Questions Correctly
Following the havoc wreaked in Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man returns to the big screen today, July 2, in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Peter Parker is recovering from a devastating loss as he heads to Europe with his classmates for a summer trip. Fate intervenes when his new mentor, Nick Fury, calls on him to step up to the plate and defend the world from elemental threats with the help of a new Marvel superhero, Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal in his Marvel debut. The film, directed by Jon Watts, director and cowriter of Spider-Man: Homecoming, is expected to be one of the biggest box office hits of the summer. Analysts say it could bring in as much as $180 million over the July 4 weekend.

When it ended at 1 pm, the names of those who answered all the questions correctly were entered in a drawing for two free tickets for a screening tonight, Tuesday, July 2, at AMC Loews Boston Common 19 at 8 pm.
