Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal are producing, and the synopsis is below:

‘Far From Home’ follows our friendly neighborhood superhero, who decides to join his best friends Ned, MJ, and the rest of the gang on a European vacation. However, Peter’s plan to leave super heroics behind for a few weeks are quickly scrapped when he begrudgingly agrees to help Nick Fury uncover the mystery of several elemental creature attacks, creating havoc across the continent.

At the moment, the gender identity of the character is undefined. However, the casting is a major milestone for a comic book movie. This casting is allowing an opportunity to give someone in the trans community the spotlight to a global audience.
