The Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer has finally arrived, and it sure does look good when it's not footage of a phone filming a phone, filmed on a phone! Granted, there's no real difference between this and the leaked version - bar some improved visual effects, and you can actually see what's going on - but it's still good to finally get a look at what is to come. If you haven't seen it, or you just want to watch it again, check out the trailer below...
So after that shock ending to Spider-Man: Far From Home it seems that Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is struggling with his new found fame - or should that be infamy? Not only does the entire world know he's Spider-Man, but he appears to be in the frame for murdering Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) too. That would certainly explain why he needs a certain lawyer to help him. But the Web-Head is also considering more drastic options, courtesy of his old friend (and world saving colleague) Dr Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who he asks to make everyone forget his alter-ego. Maybe Strange has been to Hogwarts to learn about obliviating people. Naturally this doesn't go so well, and all of space time is jeopardised in a crashing multiverses kind of a way. This should be fun!
Tom Holland really nails what it is to be Spider-Man. I can't help feeling sorry for Pete. He has to deal with being a teenager and a superhero, he's recently lost his friend and mentor, and now his identity has been exposed to the world, he's facing murder charges, his loved ones are getting caught up in his web of troubles, and in the process of trying to fix it, things have got a million times worse. Which branch of the gazillion new timelines we saw in a certain Marvel tv show, does this fall?
The problem is; it's a little heavy on Doctor Strange's involvement. There's no denying Cumberbatch's awesomeness. He brings this perfect blend of cockiness and skill to the master of magic. But did we really need to see so much of the scene in which he conjures a spell to wipe Pete's secret identity from the minds of everyone? Probably not. They definitely couldn't have spoiled it any more! Maybe the good doctor should have shut Pete out of the room before attempting such a dangerous spell.
Of course it's not all bad, for us fans anyway. Because thanks to Strange's multiversal meddling, we're getting a plethora of Marvel villains from pre-MCU Spider-Man movies. Not only do we see what appears to be Electro (Jamie Foxx)'s lightning, there's also one of Green Goblin's pumpkin bombs - the arrival of which is signalled by a certain signature laugh - and the trailer ends with a greeting from Alfred Molina's Doctor Otto Octavius. So not only has our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man got to deal with those three goons (and potentially others), he's got to find a way to undo the damage he and Strange have caused before the multiverse apparently folds in on itself. The wall-crawler has definitely got his work cut out for him on this one!
Where are the Avengers when you need them? It seems odd that they wouldn't show up for something like this. Maybe they will. Maybe Pete and Steve are trying to keep this little issue to themselves. After all, they'd never live it down at the team barbeques. I'm sure Wong (Benedict Wong) will be happy to say; "I told you so!" But when cities start disappearing into black holes, it's time to swallow your pride and call for help.
Speaking of help... There's no sign - as of yet - of anymore Spider-People, and if Maguire and Garfield are to appear I hope Marvel and Sony keep it under wraps. With the spectacle of something like this, it should be saved for the big screen, and what a Christmas present that would be. Seeing the three Spids battling the forces of evil from countless dimensions, with the help of a couple of wizards, would be awesome. The three actors have all done a great job of bringing Peter Parker to life in their own way, but making them work together could be the spectacular. It certainly worked for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
This trailer is phenomenal. A little heavy on Doctor Strange's involvement, but phenomenal all the same. We have had a glimpse of Christmas future, and that's all we need! I'm talking to you Marvel and Sony; No More! Let the fans get caught up in the mystery and speculation.
Spider-Man: No Way Home hits cinemas on 17th December.
