It's hard to write about the Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) latest installment starring your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man without spoiling anything. I promise I won't. Spider-Man: No Way Home opens in theaters this Friday, Dec 17, and takes upward direct where things left off in the mid-credits scene from Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).
Jake Gyllenhaal'southward Mysterio makes a imitation confessional video broadcast by the sensationalist outlet The Daily Bugle in which he reveals Spider-Man's hole-and-corner identity and falsely accuses him of the attack in London and his death.
With his reputation ruined and Peter Parker (Tom Holland) no longer an anonymous citizen, the teenager embarks on his last twelvemonth in high school. Peter, his girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) are all applying to colleges in Boston and dream of going to MIT. When their public image problem threatens to thwart their dream, Peter makes a bargain with magician Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) so that people forget Spider-Man's identity.
Strange's spell doesn't but not work though; it also opens the door to villains from the Spider-Man multiverse — which means some of the antagonists fought by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in their iterations as Peter Parker over the years. Alfred Molina returns here as Dr. Otto Octavius from Spider-Homo 2 (2004), Willem Dafoe dons the appearance of Green Goblin from Spider-Man three (2007), Thomas Haden Church is Sandman likewise from Spider-Human being 3, Rhys Ifans is The Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and Jamie Foxx electrifies in one case again every bit Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man two (2014).
This third installment from the Kingdom of the netherlands Spider-Man era introduces the multiverse with the many narrative implications that it could accept in future MCU movies and shows — non for nothing, Marvel'due south adjacent movie, which debuts on May six, 2022, is titled Doctor Foreign in the Multiverse of Madness, and this year'southward show Loki already gave us an idea of how out of mitt things can get when the unmarried timeline gets divided.
Merely the best parts of this bloated and uneven 2-and-a-half-hour movie are precisely those cameos and connections to by Spidey versions. And considering that only in the final nineteen years nosotros've had eight live-activeness Spider-Man features, at that place'south a lot of material to draw from.
Spider-Man: No Way Dwelling house's master asset comes from its commitment to Marvel's multiverse. As with well-nigh MCU films, not merely is it a prerequisite to have watched the 26 MCU films that precede this i but too all the other Spider-Man adaptations — the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) included — and even some of Marvel's previous Television set forays. Charlie Cox has a cameo equally the superpowered lawyer Matt Murdock, from the Netflix bear witness Daredevil, that had the audience at the press screening I attended cheering and clapping in delight. And that doesn't happen often.
Every time I felt No Way Home was derailing — its action sequences also big and CGI-heavy, its rhythm bumpy, its plot too anecdotal yet triggering dreadful consequences, its tone veering from tragedy to buddy comedy — one of the big marquee names I mentioned from No Way Home's ensemble (and some others I won't divulge for the sake of non ruining the movie) would pop up and salvage things. Jon Favreau, returning as Happy Hogan, would be listening in on a Peter and MJ FaceTime conversation supposed to exist private. Doc Foreign would be garbed in sweatpants, a hoodie, a down jacket and the cloak of levitation. Wong (Benedict Wong) would rightly ask to be left out of any Strange spell attempts. MJ would teach Strange 1 very important magic word: "Delight." The Lizard would say in that location'due south no manner MJ could actually be Peter's girlfriend…
The guest appearances and cameos are the but elements that continue No Mode Dwelling unexpected and dynamic. And they manage to make up for virtually of the picture show's flaws.
The puns aren't sectional to the all-encompassing ensemble bandage though. Kingdom of the netherlands still makes for a very compelling and fun Peter Parker when he sports a collection of T-shirts with messages ranging from "I survived my trip to NYC" to "The physics is theoretical just the fun is real." At ane point he outsmarts Foreign with the i thing cooler than magic: math. The actor seems so suited as the Queens native that the flick's producers are already talking most making a new Spider-Man trilogy with him in the titular role.
If you're a Marvel fan, No Way Abode is mandatory watching for its many narrative implications. But for the nearly part, I was more interested in knowing whether MJ, Ned and Peter would get accepted into MIT than the actual saving of New York Metropolis and fighting of villains that was going on for most of the picture.
As is customary with Marvel fare, stay for the mid-credits and post-credits sequences. They simply farther the connection betwixt this movie and Marvel's rich multiverse. I of them, in particular, is also the kind of easter egg-heavy fare that only the true-blue super-fans will be able to appreciate and completely decipher.
