The Spiderman: No Way Home trailer has made Marvel fans go crazy. Here’s some of what we know about the movie so far.
If you haven’t seen the previous Spiderman movies yet, then you may not want to read this article because there are a lot of spoilers. The new movie is part of phase four, and has been talked about for what feels like forever. There are multiple fan theories and many things to cover in the trailer.
The opening shot of the official trailer shows Peter Parker (Tom Holland) in the rain, beaten up. His expression implies that he is in mourning. A lot of fans are wondering whether someone close to Peter has died, or if he is emotional for a different reason. Perhaps one of my favourite theories about this movie so far is that at the end of the film, Peter will have to sacrifice himself to the multiverse to save the ones he loves, and he’ll have no way home.
Later, the trailer shows the aftermath of the last movie, “Spiderman: Far From Home”, when Peter was exposed as Spiderman. There are similarities between outfits worn in the last film and in the trailer, so it’s plausible that this movie starts up right where we left off. Peter’s identity being exposed has obviously ruined his world. Naturally, he goes to someone he knows can help, Doctor Strange. We see Strange perform some sort of spell that is meant to erase the world’s memory of Peter being Spiderman. If you watch closely, there are four gold bands surrounding Strange and Peter, which could signify the four universes that are colliding together; the Web universe, the MCU, the Raimi universe and the Venom universe. This is when things get really interesting, though.
Strange tells Peter that “visitors” came from different universes with the spell and then we see just exactly who he was talking about. The characters include Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), Electro (Jaimie Fox), The Lizard (Rhys Ifans) and Sandman (Thomas Haden Church). All of these villains have been introduced in past Spiderman universes, and are now showing up in this one.
There is a lot of action in this trailer, and also a great scene between Doc Ock and Spiderman. A lot of fans have speculated that Doc Ock is able to absorb Peter’s nanotech suit and use it to his advantage, because there are times where Peter has parts of his suit missing. This isn’t the only time Peter has to worry about suit problems, though. Some people think there is a whole different suit for when he goes up against Electro.
Confrontation between Peter and Doctor Strange is frequent in this trailer, and will most likely be constant in the movie. Strange told Peter it was the fate of the various villains to die at the hands of Spiderman, but Peter seems to be conflicted about that. When Peter talks to Aunt May, he tells her that he can’t save everyone. Does he mean he can’t save his universe as well as these villains from their own fate?
Near the end of the trailer we get a glimpse of MJ (Zendaya), and it seems she is falling to her death, but Spiderman is there reaching out to save her. This is a parallel to Andrew Garfeild’s Spiderman movie, where he watches Gwen Stacey fall to her own death. This is a major reason why so many people assume Tobey Macguire and Andrew Garfield are going to have cameos in this movie, which is any Marvel fan’s dream. Unfortunately, it has not yet been officially confirmed.
Are you excited for No Way Home now that you’ve heard so many breakdowns and theories? I’ll definitely be watching this movie the day it comes out and it already looks like one of Marvel’s most memorable movies yet.
