Why was Peter Parker's passport censored in the trailer?
In the just released trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home we get a shot of Peter Parker's passport
but the years seem to have been censored.
I thought maybe they don't want to spoil when exactly this movie takes place, before or after Avengers: Endgame.
However, I was under the impression that it was already revealed that it takes place after "Endgame", and in the official poster there is a stamp
and it says: Berlin, Germany, Arrived 24 Jul 19
(btw, the actual release date in Germany is the first week of July, so the date is not referring to that)
Why were the years in the passport blanked out?
Best Answer
Now granted, the date could just be an intentional omission from the trailer and we’ll see it in the final product. Don’t forget, remember in the second trailer for Captain America: Civil War when we saw the two sides of heroes running towards each other? You’ll recall that Spider-Man was on Team Iron Man, but he wasn’t seen running alongside Stark and the others… in the trailer. But he was there in the finished version. The same could easily be applicable here. Keeping the year off would keep fans in suspense as to when Far From Home takes place even though, again, there’s already official clarification that this is after the events of the two recent Avengers films that precede it.

Why is home in every Spider-Man title?
After all, while part of the title is referencing the fact that the film features a homecoming dance, it was also a clear nod to the fact that the hero was finally getting his own Marvel Cinematic Universe feature. And then they just liked the idea of keeping the world "home" in the title as a theme.Does Peter Parker have an alter ego?

Answer 2
Marvel made a real mess with timelines in the previous Spider-Man movie, as explained here.
It makes total sense that in order to avoid such a mess in their new movie, they simply remove any "hard evidence" for exact dates in the movie itself, so they can put any date they want at later time.
The official poster just announce when the movie arrives to theaters, and I don't think the passport timestamps there will be displayed in the movie itself.
