Spider-Man: No Way Home is a 2021 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and the 27th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Jon Watts and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man alongside Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Benedict Wong, Tony Revolori, Marisa Tomei, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire. In the film, Parker asks Dr. Stephen Strange (Cumberbatch) to make his identity as Spider-Man a secret again with magic after its public revelation in Far From Home, but this breaks open the multiverse and allows supervillains from alternate realities to enter Parker's universe.

A third MCU Spider-Man film was planned during the production of Homecoming in 2017. By August 2019, negotiations between Sony and Marvel Studios to alter their deal—in which they produce the Spider-Man films together—ended with Marvel Studios leaving the project; however, a negative fan reaction led to a new deal between the companies a month later. Watts, McKenna, Sommers, and Holland were set to return at that time. Filming began in October 2020 in New York City before moving to Atlanta that month and wrapping in March 2021. No Way Home explores the concept of the multiverse and ties the MCU to past Spider-Man film series, with numerous actors reprising their roles from the Spider-Man films directed by Sam Raimi and Marc Webb. The return of previous Spider-Man actors Maguire and Garfield was the subject of speculation, and Sony, Marvel, and the cast attempted to conceal their involvement despite numerous leaks.

Spider-Man: No Way Home premiered at the Fox Village Theatre in Los Angeles on December 13, 2021, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 17, as part of Phase Four of the MCU. The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, direction, action sequences, and the cast's performances and chemistry. No Way Home has grossed over $1 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2021. It set several box office records, including records for films released after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is the only film released during the pandemic to cross the $1 billion mark. A sequel is in development.

Plot

After Quentin Beck frames Peter Parker for murder and reveals his identity as Spider-Man,[N 1] Parker, his girlfriend MJ, best friend Ned Leeds, and aunt May are interrogated by the Department of Damage Control. Lawyer Matt Murdock gets Parker's charges dropped, but the group grapples with negative publicity. After Parker, MJ, and Ned's MIT applications are rejected, Parker goes to the Sanctum Sanctorum to ask Stephen Strange for help. Strange suggests a spell that would make people forget Parker is Spider-Man. Parker repeatedly requests alterations to let his loved ones retain their memories, which corrupts the spell, but Strange contains it and makes Parker leave.

Parker goes to convince an MIT administrator to reconsider MJ and Ned's applications, but is suddenly attacked by Otto Octavius. Octavius rips Parker's nanotechnology from his Iron Spider suit, which bonds with his mechanical tentacles and allows Parker to disable them. As Norman Osborn arrives and attacks, Strange teleports Parker back to the Sanctorum and locks Octavius in a cell next to Curt Connors. Strange explains that the corrupted spell summoned people from other universes who know Spider-Man's identity, and orders Parker, MJ, and Ned to find and capture them.

As Parker captures Max Dillon and Flint Marko, Osborn reclaims control of himself from his split Green Goblin personality. He goes to a F.E.A.S.T. building, where May comforts him before Parker retrieves him. While discussing their battles with Spider-Man, Osborn, Octavius, and Dillon realize that they were pulled from their universes just before their deaths. Strange prepares a spell that will send the villains back to their respective universes, but Parker argues that they should first cure the villains' powers and insanity to prevent their deaths upon their return. Parker steals the boxed spell, traps Strange in the Mirror Dimension, and, with May, takes the villains to Happy Hogan's apartment. He cures Octavius, but Osborn's Goblin persona takes control and convinces the uncured villains to betray Parker. As Dillon, Marko, and Connors escape, Osborn injures May, who tells Parker that "with great power, there must also come great responsibility" before dying.

Ned discovers he can create portals using Strange's sling ring, which he and MJ use to try to locate Parker. They instead find "Peter-Two" and "Peter-Three", alternate versions of Parker who were summoned by Strange's spell. Ned and MJ find Parker and comfort him while the other Parkers share stories of losing loved ones; they encourage Parker to fight in May's honor. The three Parkers develop cures for the villains and lure Dillon, Marko, and Connors to the Statue of Liberty. Peter-Two and Parker cure Marko and Connors, while Octavius arrives to help and cures Dillon.

Ned frees Strange from the Mirror Dimension, but Osborn arrives and destroys the boxed spell, rupturing the barrier separating universes. While Strange maintains the barrier, an enraged Parker attempts to kill Osborn, but Peter-Two stops him. Peter-Three and Parker inject Osborn with his cure, restoring his sanity. Parker realizes that the only way to protect the multiverse is to erase himself from everyone's memory and requests that Strange do so, while promising MJ and Ned that he will find them again. The spell is cast, and everyone returns to their respective universe—including Eddie Brock,[N 2] who leaves behind a piece of the Venom symbiote. Two weeks later, Parker visits MJ and Leeds to reintroduce himself, but decides against it. While mourning at May's grave, he has a conversation with Hogan and is inspired to carry on, making a new suit and resuming his vigilantism.

Cast

Tobey Maguire (top) and Andrew Garfield (bottom) reprise their roles as their respective versions of Spider-Man. Their involvement was kept secret by Marvel and Sony and denied by Garfield, leading to fan speculation up to the film's premiere.
  • Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man:
    A teenager and Avenger who received spider-like abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider.[5] The film explores the fallout of Spider-Man: Far From Home's (2019) mid-credits scene, in which Parker's identity as Spider-Man is exposed,[6] and Parker is more pessimistic in contrast to previous Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films. Holland said Parker feels defeated and insecure and was excited to explore the darker side of the character.[7] The adjustment back to portraying Parker, including raising his voice pitch and returning to the mindset of a "naïve, charming teenager", was strange for Holland after taking on more mature roles such as in Cherry (2021).[8]
  • Zendaya as Michelle "MJ" Jones-Watson:
    Parker's classmate and girlfriend.[9][10] The character's full name is revealed in the film, having previously just been known as Michelle Jones, bringing her closer to the comics counterpart Mary Jane Watson.[10]
  • Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange:
    A neurosurgeon who became a Master of the Mystic Arts following a career-ending car accident.[11] Holland felt Strange was not a mentor to Parker, unlike Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), but instead saw them as "colleagues" and noted their relationship breaks down throughout the course of the film.[12] Cumberbatch felt there was a close relationship between Strange and Parker because both are "neighborhood superheroes" with a shared history.[13]
  • Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds: Parker's best friend.[14][10] Batalon lost 102 pounds (46 kg) for his role in this film.[15]
  • Jon Favreau as Harold "Happy" Hogan: The head of security for Stark Industries and former driver and bodyguard of Tony Stark, who looks after Parker.[16]
  • Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon / Electro:
    An Oscorp electrical engineer from an alternate reality who gained electric powers after an accident involving genetically-modified electric eels. Foxx reprises his role from Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).[14][17] The character was redesigned for No Way Home, foregoing his original blue Ultimate Marvel-based design in favor of a more yellow one similar to his mainstream comic appearance.[18]
  • Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin:
    A scientist and the CEO of Oscorp from an alternate reality who tested an unstable strength enhancer on himself and developed an insane alternate personality while using advanced Oscorp armor and equipment. Dafoe reprises his role from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.[19] Dafoe felt Green Goblin was "further down the line" with "a few more tricks up [his] sleeves" compared to his portrayal in Spider-Man (2002). The character also obtains upgrades to his costume to make him more closely resemble his comic book counterpart.[20]
  • Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius / Doctor Octopus:
    A scientist from an alternate reality with four artificially intelligent mechanical tentacles fused to his body after an accident. Molina reprises his role from Raimi's Spider-Man 2 (2004),[21] with this film continuing from the character's story prior to his death in that film. Molina was surprised by this approach because he had aged in the years since he made that film and no longer had the same physicality; digital de-aging was used to make him look physically the same as in Spider-Man 2.[22] The mechanical tentacles were created completely through CGI, rather than a blend of puppetry and CGI as in Spider-Man 2.[23]
  • Benedict Wong as Wong: Strange's mentor and friend who became the new Sorcerer Supreme during Strange's absence in the Blip.[24][16]
  • Tony Revolori as Eugene "Flash" Thompson: Parker's classmate and former rival.[25]
  • Marisa Tomei as May Parker: Parker's aunt.[26]
  • Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker / Spider-Man:
    An alternate version of Parker who is haunted by his failure to save his deceased girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.[27] Garfield reprises his role from Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man films.[28][29] The other Spider-Men refer to him as "Peter-Three",[30] while Marvel.com named him "The Amazing Spider-Man".[31]
  • Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker / Spider-Man:
    An alternate version of Parker who utilizes organic webbing instead of web shooters like his alternate counterparts.[32] Maguire reprises his role from Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.[28][29] The other Spider-Men refer to him as "Peter-Two",[30] while Marvel.com named him the "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man".[31]

Additionally, Rhys Ifans reprises his role as Dr. Curt Connors / Lizard, an Oscorp scientist from an alternate reality who attempted to engineer a regeneration serum to help regrow limbs and human tissue, but transformed into a large reptilian monster, from Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), while Thomas Haden Church reprises his role as Flint Marko / Sandman, a small-time robber from an alternate reality who received sand-like abilities following an accident, from Raimi's Spider-Man 3 (2007).[19] Tom Hardy appears, uncredited, in the mid-credits scene as Eddie Brock / Venom, reprising his role from Sony's Spider-Man Universe.[33]

Reprising their roles from previous MCU Spider-Man films are Angourie Rice as Betty Brant, Parker's classmate and Leeds's ex-girlfriend;[34] Hannibal Buress as Coach Wilson, Midtown School of Science and Technology's gym teacher;[35] Martin Starr as Roger Harrington, Parker's academic decathlon teacher;[36] J. B. Smoove as Julius Dell, Parker's teacher;[37] and J. K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, the host of TheDailyBugle.net,[38][39] while Jake Gyllenhaal appears as Quentin Beck / Mysterio via archive footage from Far From Home.[40] Charlie Cox reprises his role as Matt Murdock from Marvel Television's Netflix series.[41] Also appearing in the film are Paula Newsome as an MIT administrator,[36] Arian Moayed as Department of Damage Control Agent Cleary,[42] Mary Rivera as Ned's grandmother,[36] and Cristo Fernández as a bartender serving Brock.[33] Holland's brother Harry was set to make a cameo appearance as a drug dealer, after doing the same in Cherry,[43] but his scenes were not in the theatrical release.[44] Lexi Rabe, who portrayed Stark's daughter Morgan in Avengers: Endgame (2019), also had an appearance that was not included in the theatrical release.[45]

Production

Development

During production on Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), two sequels were being planned by Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures.[46] In June 2017, star Tom Holland said the third film would take place during Peter Parker / Spider-Man's senior year of high school.[47] In July 2019, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said the third film would feature "a Peter Parker story that has never been done before on film" due to the ending of the second film, Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), which publicly revealed that Parker is Spider-Man.[48] Homecoming and Far From Home director Jon Watts expressed interest in Kraven the Hunter being the main antagonist of the third film,[49] having pitched Holland on the idea.[50]

By August 2019, development on two new Spider-Man films had begun with Sony hoping Watts and Holland would return for both;[51] Holland was contracted to return for one more film, while Watts had completed his two-film deal and would need to sign on for any more films.[52][53] By then, Marvel Studios and its parent company The Walt Disney Studios had spent several months discussing expanding their deal with Sony. The existing deal had Marvel and Feige produce the Spider-Man films for Sony and receive 5% of their revenue. Sony wanted to expand the deal to include more films than had initially been agreed on while keeping the same terms of the original agreement. Disney expressed concern with Feige's workload producing the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) franchise already and asked for a 25–50% stake in any future films Feige produced for Sony.[51][54][53] Unable to come to an agreement, Sony announced that it would be moving forward on the next Spider-Man film without Feige or Marvel's involvement. Their statement acknowledged that this could change in the future, thanked Feige for his work on the first two films, and said they appreciated "the path [Feige] has helped put us on, which we will continue."[54]

Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers were writing the screenplay for the third film by the time of Sony's announcement, after also doing so for Far From Home, but Watts was receiving offers to direct large films for other studios instead of returning to the franchise, including potentially working on a different property for Marvel Studios and Feige.[53] In September, Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman Tony Vinciquerra said that "for the moment the door is closed" on Spider-Man returning to the MCU, and confirmed that the character would be integrated with Sony's own shared universe—Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU)—moving forward. Responding to backlash from fans following the announcement, Vinciquerra added that "the Marvel people are terrific people, we have great respect for them, but on the other hand we have some pretty terrific people of our own. [Feige] didn't do all the work ... we're pretty capable of doing what we have to do here."[55] However, after this fan reaction continued at Disney's biennial convention D23, and at the urging of Holland who personally spoke to Disney CEO Bob Iger and Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group chairman Tom Rothman,[56] the companies returned to negotiations.[57]

Sony and Disney announced a new agreement at the end of September 2019 which would allow Marvel Studios and Feige to produce another Spider-Man film for Sony with Amy Pascal, scheduled for July 16, 2021, keeping the character in the MCU.[5] Disney was reported to be co-financing 25% of the film in exchange for 25% of the film's profits, while retaining the merchandising rights to the character.[5][57] The agreement also allowed Holland's Spider-Man to appear in a future Marvel Studios film. Feige stated, "I am thrilled that Spidey's journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it." He added that moving forward the MCU's Spider-Man would be able to "cross cinematic universes" and appear in Sony's own shared universe as well.[5] This interaction was said to be "a 'call and answer' between the two franchises as they acknowledge details between the two in what would loosely be described as a shared detailed universe". Sony described their previous films with Marvel Studios as a "great collaboration", and said "our mutual desire to continue was equal to that of the many fans."[57] At the time of the new agreement, Watts was in final negotiations to direct the film.[58]

Discussing the new deal in October, Iger attributed it to the efforts of Holland as well as the fan response to the end of the original deal, saying, "I felt for [Holland], and it was clear the fans wanted this to happen." He added that while negotiating the deal both Sony and Disney had forgotten "there are other people who actually matter."[59] Rothman added that he felt the deal was a "win-win-win. A win for Sony, a win for Disney, a win for the fans." Speaking back to the August reports of the negotiating breaking down, Rothman said that revelations in the media of discussions such as the negotiations do not necessarily line up with the actual discussions taking place, and he felt that the final deal would have eventuated without the reports and fan discourse, saying, "We would have gotten there, and the news got ahead of some things."[60] Also in October, Zendaya was confirmed to be reprising her role as MJ from the previous films in the sequel.[9] By the end of the year, filming was expected to begin in mid-2020.[61]

Pre-production

In April 2020, Sony rescheduled No Way Home's release date to November 5, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[62] Although the film was originally meant to be set after the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), aspects of the plot were rewritten after the release date of the latter film was delayed.[63] In June, Marisa Tomei confirmed she would return as May Parker along with Watts as director. She was hopeful that May's work as a community organizer would be featured in the film.[26] The next month, Holland said production was planned to take place from late 2020 to February 2021,[64] and Sony shifted the film's release date to December 17, 2021.[65] Tony Revolori was also confirmed to be reprising his role as Flash Thompson.[25]

In early October, Jacob Batalon and Benedict Cumberbatch were set to reprise their MCU roles of Ned Leeds and Dr. Stephen Strange, while Jamie Foxx was set to return as Max Dillon / Electro from Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), with filming beginning later in the month.[14][11] Graeme McMillan from The Hollywood Reporter felt that Strange's inclusion was not a coincidence considering the character's connection to the multiverse and the casting of past Spider-Man film actors like Foxx.[66] Immediately prior to the beginning of filming, several other key actors in the film had yet to sign on. According to Holland, the film needed "all or none" of the actors in order to be produced.[63]

Filming

Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Jamie Foxx, Thomas Haden Church, Rhys Ifans, and J.K. Simmons reprised their roles as Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, Lizard, and J. Jonah Jameson.

Second unit filming occurred from October 14 to 16, 2020 in New York City,[67][68][69] under the working title Serenity Now,[70][68] to capture visual effects plates and establishing shots.[67] Filming occurred in the Astoria, Sunnyside, and Long Island City neighborhoods in Queens.[71][69] On October 23, filming occurred in Greenwich Village in Manhattan.[72]

The production moved to Atlanta by October 25, with Holland, Batalon, and Zendaya joining for principal photography,[73][74] after Holland finished shooting Sony's Uncharted (2022) two days earlier.[75][67][76] Mauro Fiore served as cinematographer on the film,[77] replacing original cinematographer Seamus McGarvey,[78] who had to leave the production after contracting COVID-19. McGarvey also had a conflict with the film Cyrano (2021) following No Way Home's pandemic-caused production delay,[79] with principal photography originally planned to start in July 2020.[80][81][64] Shooting in Atlanta occurred at Trilith Studios, with strict safety measures in place on the soundstages to prevent exposure to COVID-19.[82] To reduce interactions between cast and crew members on set during the pandemic and prevent further shut downs, the production reportedly relied on "innovative new technology" that scanned actors into a visual effects system that can apply make-up and costumes to actors during post-production.[83] A light system was also in-place to signal when the cast could take off their masks for filming and when masks would be required for the cast and crew members to wear while set work was being done.[84] Cumberbatch began shooting his scenes in Atlanta by late November, before beginning work on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness which began filming that month in London.[85][86] Filming ran for seven-to-eight weeks using the working titles Serenity Now and The November Project, before a break during the Christmas season.[87][76][88]

By December 2020, Alfred Molina was set to reprise his role as Otto Octavius / Doctor Octopus from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 (2004).[21] By then, Collider reported that Andrew Garfield would return as his Peter Parker / Spider-Man from Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man films along with Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson from Raimi's Spider-Man film trilogy, and that Tobey Maguire was in talks to return as his Peter Parker / Spider-Man from the latter films and Emma Stone was also expected to return as Gwen Stacy from The Amazing Spider-Man films.[89] Discussing the return of actors from previous Spider-Man iterations, Newby felt a crossover-style film could "lessen the impact" of Sony's successful animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018).[90] McMillan compared the "Spider-Verse" to the DC Comics comic event Crisis on Infinite Earths, saying "a multiversal storyline offers Marvel the opportunity to clean up some loose ends while setting up the future of its cinematic universe, and fulfill some fan dreams in the process". He felt it was possible for other Spider-Men to cameo in the film, including characters from Into the Spider-Verse, actor Nicholas Hammond from the 1970s television series, or Takuya Yamashiro, the Toei Spider-Man. McMillan also referenced the contract negotiations between Marvel and Sony when he suggested that the film could be used to separate Spider-Man from the MCU.[66] /Film's Hoai-Tran Bui feared the film was becoming "seriously over-crowded" and wished that Holland could "hold his own without a bigger A-list star showing him the ropes", but was not opposed to having "some good old banter between Holland, Garfield, and Maguire",[91] while Adam B. Vary of Variety noted these reports were not confirmed and raised uncertainty if the actors would appear outside of cameos.[92] Shortly after, Holland denied that Maguire and Garfield would appear in the film to his knowledge,[76] while Feige confirmed the film would have connections with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.[93] Many of the actors returning from previous Spider-Man films were brought to set in cloaks in order to help prevent their involvements in the films from leaking.[94]

Feige acknowledged in January 2021 that the film was being referred to by some as Spider-Man 3, and said that Marvel was internally referring to it as Homecoming 3 though that was not its actual title.[95] By then, Charlie Cox, who portrayed Matt Murdock / Daredevil in Marvel Television's Netflix series, had shot material for the film,[41] while an Atlanta set photo indicated the film would occur during the Christmas season.[96] Filming occurred at Frederick Douglass High School from January 22 to 24.[97][additional citation(s) needed] The next month, Holland described it as "the most ambitious standalone superhero" film,[87] and denied the rumors that Maguire and Garfield would appear in the film.[43][8] At the end of February 2021, the film's title was revealed to be Spider-Man: No Way Home, continuing the naming convention of the past two films of featuring "home" in the title.[98] Filming took place at Midtown High School from March 19 to 21.[97][99] The Atlanta Public Schools system had stopped allowing buildings in the district for use as filming locations because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but gave this film an exception since both the Frederick Douglass and Midtown schools were previously used as filming locations in Spider-Man: Homecoming.[97] Hannibal Buress was revealed to reprise his role as gym teacher Coach Wilson by then,[99] with Buress releasing a music video in August 2021 revealing he had filmed scenes in Atlanta.[35] Holland believed No Way Home had "more visceral" fight sequences than the previous two films, as well as more hand-to-hand combat.[23] Filming wrapped on March 26, 2021.[100][101] Filming was also expected to occur in Los Angeles and Iceland.[80]

Post-production

In April 2021, Molina confirmed that he was appearing in the film, explaining that he had been told not to talk about his role in the film during production but he realized that his appearance had been widely rumored and reported on.[22] Later that month, J. B. Smoove revealed he was returning as Julius Dell from Far From Home,[37] while Cox stated he was not involved with the film.[102] In early May, Garfield denied that he had been asked to appear in the film, but later said "never say never",[103][104] while Angourie Rice was revealed to return as Betty Brant.[34] Later that month, Emma Stone denied her involvement in the film.[105]

Also in May 2021, Sony Pictures Group President Sanford Panitch acknowledged that there had been confusion and frustration from fans regarding the relationship between the SSU and the MCU, but stated that there was a plan to clarify this and he believed it was already "getting a little more clear for people [as to] where we're headed" at that time following the announcement of the SSU film Kraven the Hunter (2023). He added that No Way Home would help reveal more of this plan, with Adam B. Vary of Variety commenting that the perceived notion of No Way Home introducing multiverse elements was believed to be what would allow Holland to make appearances in both the MCU and the SSU.[106] The official trailer confirmed the involvements of Jon Favreau as Harold "Happy" Hogan and Benedict Wong as Wong, reprising their roles from past MCU films,[16] as well as J. K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson from Far From Home, after playing a different version of the character in the Raimi trilogy.[38] It was also confirmed that the characters Electro and Green Goblin would appear in the film,[16][17][107] with the implication that this incarnation of Green Goblin would be Willem Dafoe's version from the Raimi films.[107] In September 2021, Garfield again denied he was in the film, saying, "No matter what I say... it's either going to be really disappointing for people or it's going to be really exciting".[108]

In early October, many commentators expected Tom Hardy to reprise his role as Eddie Brock / Venom from Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), after the Let There Be Carnage mid-credits scene showed the character seemingly transported from their universe (the SSU) to the MCU.[109][110][111] Feige noted there was "a lot of coordination" between the Let There Be Carnage and No Way Home teams to work on the Let There Be Carnage mid-credits scene, and that the full extent of the coordination had yet to be revealed.[112] Later that month, for Empire's issue on No Way Home, Watts said they were trying to be ambitious with the film by having prior Spider-Man film actors return, which Holland felt was awesome and crazy.[113] It was explained that the film would explore the worlds of those prior films, with Doctor Octopus and Electro, as well as Dafoe's Green Goblin, Thomas Haden Church's Flint Marko / Sandman from Raimi's Spider-Man 3 (2007), and Rhys Ifans's Curt Connors / Lizard from Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) identified as characters from those worlds in the issue.[114] A cover of the issue also featured visual references to some of those characters,[115][116] with many commentators expecting Church and Ifans to appear as Sandman and the Lizard.[114][116][117] The No Way Home team was said to be "in no hurry to confirm or deny appearances" of several characters, with Watts saying the speculation were unconfirmed rumors,[114] while Feige said rumors are fun as "many of them are true, and many of them are not true" and cautioned audiences' expectations from the rumors to be excited about the film that is made rather than focusing on what was not done.[118]

At the beginning of November, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. revealed he would be reprising his role as Jason Ionello in the film, and much like his appearances in Homecoming and Far From Home, would have "very little to do with the core" story.[119] By the middle of the month, additional photography had been completed for the film.[120] Arian Moayed revealed he had a role in the film by then,[121] while Dunst said she was not in the film,[122] but would "never say no" to reprising her role of Mary Jane Watson.[123] The film's second trailer confirmed the involvements of Dafoe, Church, and Ifans.[19] Pascal described No Way Home as "the culmination of the Homecoming trilogy".[124] Jeffrey Ford and Leigh Folsom Boyd served as the film's editors.[125] Hardy ultimately appeared as Brock in the film's mid-credits scene,[33] while a teaser trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was included as the post-credits of the film.[126]

Music

Main article: Spider-Man: No Way Home (soundtrack)

In November 2020, Homecoming and Far From Home composer Michael Giacchino was confirmed to be returning.[127][128] The film's score was released digitally on December 17, 2021 with a track titled "Arachnoverture" released as a single on December 9 and another titled "Exit Through the Lobby" released the following day.[129] Throughout the film, Giacchino references many themes from previous Spider-Man films by Hans Zimmer, James Horner, and Danny Elfman, as well as his own themes from Doctor Strange (2016).[130]

Marketing

In May 2020, Sony entered a promotional partnership with Hyundai Motor Group to showcase their new models and technologies in the film.[131] Hyundai released a commercial in November 2021, titled "Only Way Home", promoting the film and the Ioniq 5 electric-powered SUV, starring Holland and Batalon, with Watts directing. The Ioniq 5 and Hyundai Tucson are featured in the film.[132] In late February 2021, Holland, Batalon, and Zendaya released three stills featuring their characters from the film alongside fake logos with the titles Spider-Man: Phone Home, Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker, and Spider-Man: Home Slice, respectively.[133] The film's official title was announced the next day with a video showing Holland, Batalon, and Zendaya leaving Watts's office (where they supposedly received the fake titles). Batalon and Zendaya note that Holland could not be trusted with the actual title since he had "accidentally" revealed the second film's title. The video ends on a whiteboard showing the film's true title, among various other titles featuring the word "home" that were apparently considered.[98] Jennifer Bisset of CNET suggested the fake titles and logos could represent the villains in the film, including Foxx's Electro and Molina's Doctor Octopus,[133] while TheWrap's Umberto Gonzalez called them funny "bait-and-switch fakes", and noted the Phone Home title referenced a line from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982).[134] Gregory Lawrence of Collider felt the Home-Wrecker title could point to the film feeling like a 1990s thriller film, and said the fake titles were a "solid goof" to excite fans. He also compared the stills to the "terrifying/awe-inspiring wonder" of Steven Spielberg films and The Goonies (1985),[135] while Germain Lussier from io9 said they gave off "subtle National Treasure, Indiana Jones vibes".[136] In July 2021, Marvel revealed various toys and figurines for the film, including Funko Pops, Marvel Legends figures, and Lego sets.[137]

By the end of August 2021, when asked about the lack of trailer and official images or descriptions for the film, Feige believed the film was not being "any more or less secret than any of our other projects" and reaffirmed that a trailer would be released before the film's premiere in theaters.[138] Though Sony handles the marketing for the film, their marketing team is in coordination with Disney's to ensure each knows when the other is releasing MCU-related content so it is a "win-win for everybody".[139] On August 22, an apparent leak of the first trailer was shared on social media,[140][141][142] which The Hollywood Reporter deemed "legitimate", with Sony working to have various copies of the trailer taken down.[140] Adam Chitwood at Collider noted the built up online "fervor" surrounding the trailer, and felt regardless of when it was released and what was shown, it would not "live up to the hype fans have built up in their minds". Chitwood continued that the other 2021 film releases from Marvel Studios had not seen a similar level of demand as No Way Home, pointing out that all of the rumored castings had positioned the film to be "a once-in-a-lifetime moviegoing experience" if they were accurate. As well, he wondered if Sony was wary of committing marketing that noted the film's December 2021 release date amid the resurgence of the COVID-19 Delta variant.[143]

The teaser trailer was officially released on August 23 during Sony's CinemaCon 2021 panel.[17] Entertainment Weekly's Devan Coggan noted the trailer confirmed the multiverse's role in the film, including elements from the Raimi and Webb films,[6] while Ethan Anderton from /Film called the trailer "nothing short of thrilling" since it confirmed many of the previous rumors about the film.[144] Austen Goslin at Polygon conversely felt much of what had been rumored did not get revealed in the trailer, feeling then that the rumors were false or Marvel was still intending to keep them a secret.[145] Anderton's colleague Joshua Meyer called the trailer "a doozy... packed with jaw-dropping moments" and noted how the film would be adapting the "One More Day" comic book storyline;[146] Richard Newby of The Hollywood Reporter had previously noted the apparent adaption of "One More Day" and "One Moment in Time" storylines following the reveal of Cumberbatch's casting.[90] Many commentators noted the possible teases of Spider-Man villains Sandman and the Lizard in the trailer as an indication of the Sinister Six forming in the film.[38][107][147] Vinnie Mancuso at Collider was excited to see the return of Molina and the potential for Dafoe's involvement, but called it a "cheap pop" since it was doing "a disservice to the stories you're trying to tell in the present by reminding the audience how much better things used to be". He also felt the trailer played into "Marvel's ongoing reluctance to let Tom Holland's Spider-Man star in his own Spider-Man movies" since the trailer gave Parker "zero memorable moments" amongst all of its elements.[148] The trailer had 355.5 million global views in its first 24 hours, becoming the most viewed trailer in that time period, surpassing the record of Avengers: Endgame (2019) (289 million views) and more than double the views for the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer (135 million). It also generated the largest 24-hour social media conversation volume of all-time globally with 4.5 million mentions, made up of 2.91 million in the United States, and 1.5 million internationally; these both exceeded Avengers: Endgame's mentions (1.94 million in the United States, 1.38 million internationally).[149]

The second official trailer premiered at a fan screening at the Regal Sherman Oaks theater in Los Angeles on November 16, 2021.[150] Goslin felt that the trailer "reveals the full extent of Marvel's Spider-Man multiverse",[151] while his colleague Matt Patches noted the missing appearance of Maguire's or Garfield's Spider-Man in the trailer but felt that it was "entirely possible the actors appear in No Way Home".[152] Jason Robbins of Collider was disappointed by the trailer, saying it was "what we expected, but less", since there were no confirmation of Maguire or Garfield or "further insight into the multiverse; just straight-up villains from other Spider-Man incarnation movies that we expected to see".[39] Some commentators said parts of the trailer appeared as though Maguire and Garfield had been edited out of the footage, such as a shot in which the Lizard appears to be struck by an invisible force.[153][154] On November 24, 2021, Sony began releasing several videos on TikTok for TheDailyBugle.net featuring Simmons and Rice.[155] In December 2021, the one-minute opening scene of the film premiered exclusively on Late Night with Seth Meyers,[156] while a newsstand for The Daily Bugle was set up in New York City in partnership with Liberty Mutual to promote the film.[157] Other marketing partners include the video games Fortnite and PUBG Mobile, which featured special in-game Spider-Man themed props and costumes, Asus, whose Republic of Gamers (ROG) laptop is used by Ned in the film, Xiaomi, iQOO, Continental AG, and Tampico Beverages. All in all, the film had a total promotional marketing value of $202 million.[158]

Release

Theatrical

Spider-Man: No Way Home had its world premiere at Fox Village Theatre in Los Angeles on December 13, 2021.[159] The film was released in the United Kingdom and Ireland on December 15, 2021,[160] and in the United States on December 17 in RealD 3D and 4DX[161]. In the United States, it opened in 4,325 theaters, in IMAX and other premium large formats.[162] It was previously set for release on July 16, 2021,[5] but was pushed back to November 5, 2021,[62] before it was further shifted to the December 2021 date, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[65] It is part of Phase Four of the MCU.[163]

In August 2021, Sony and CJ 4DPlex announced a deal to release 15 of Sony's films over three years in the ScreenX format, including No Way Home.[164] In November 2021, the film was reported to be getting a theatrical release in China, making it the first Phase Four film to do so after Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Eternals were not released in the country,[165] though as of December 2021, there is no release date, in part because of diplomatic tensions between China and the United States, including the planned U.S. diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.[166]

Home media

Spider-Man: No Way Home is scheduled to be released on Starz following its theatrical and home media releases. It will be the last film released by Sony with an exclusive limited streaming video on demand (SVOD) release on Starz, as following films would be released on Netflix following their theatrical and home media release through 2026.[167][168]

In April 2021, Sony signed a deal with Disney giving them access to their legacy content, including past Spider-Man films and Marvel content in the SSU, to stream on Disney+ and Hulu and appear on Disney's linear television networks. Disney's access to Sony's titles to be released from 2022 through 2026 would come following their availability on Netflix.[169][170]

Reception

Box office

As of December 26, 2021, Spider-Man: No Way Home has grossed $470.3 million in the United States and Canada, and $587.1 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $1.057 billion.[3][4] It is the highest-grossing film of 2021 and the 36th highest-grossing film of all time.[171][172] No Way Home is also the first film since 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to gross over $1 billion,[173] becoming the third-fastest to reach that milestone and the first to do so during the COVID-19 pandemic.[174] It surpassed Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle to become Sony Pictures' highest-grossing film in North America.[171] Deadline Hollywood calculated the film's ultimate net profit at $610 million, accounting for production budgets, marketing, talent participations, and other costs versus box office grosses and home media revenues.[175]

In the United States and Canada, Spider-Man: No Way Home earned $121.85 million (which included $50 million from its Thursday night previews) on its opening day, becoming the second-highest opening film after Avengers: Endgame ($157.4 million) and the highest opening film for a December release. In its opening weekend, the film grossed $260 million, surpassing Avengers: Infinity War ($257.7 million) to become the second highest domestic box office opening of all time.[176]

The film earned $43.6 million from 15 markets on its opening day, with Sony holding the best opening-day record in South Korea, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Italy, and Taiwan. In South Korea, the film grossed $5.28 million on its opening day, thereby beating Spider-Man: Far From Home's opening day in the country by over 11% and the biggest day-one figure for any film during the pandemic. In the United Kingdom, the film beat No Time to Die's opening box office record at £7.6 million ($10.1 million).[177] In India, the film's box office on its opening day was ₹32 crore (US$4.2 million) to ₹34.50 crore (US$4.6 million), beating Endgame and the Indian film Sooryavanshi (2021).[178] In its five-day opening weekend, the film grossed $340.8 million from 60 markets.[179] As of December 26, 2021, the film's largest markets are the United Kingdom ($61.4 million), Mexico ($46 million), France ($31 million), South Korea ($29.9 million), Brazil ($28.4 million), Australia ($28.2 million), India ($24.9 million), Russia ($23.1 million), Germany ($17.2 million), and Italy ($17.1 million).[3]

Pre-sale ticket records

Tickets went on sale the midnight of November 29, 2021, with several ticket websites such as Fandango and AMC Theatres crashing due to the high influx of users attempting to purchase tickets.[180] Ticket sales on Fandango surpassed those for Black Widow in just two hours, and by the end of the day it became the best first-day advance ticket sale since Endgame,[181] while also surpassing the 24-hour ticket sales of Avengers: Infinity War, Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) and Rogue One (2016).[182] No Way Home had second-highest one-day ticket sales on AMC, with CEO Adam Aron attributing this to Spider-Man-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs).[182]

The film also set records in Mexico with $7 million in the first-day ticket sale, which was 40% above Endgame. In the United Kingdom, the film outsold No Time to Die three times in the same twelve-day span before their release, while Brazil's ticket sale was 5% above Endgame at the same point. The film also passed the presale records of The Rise of Skywalker in Poland and No Time to Die in Portugal. Other markets with the best presale records include Spain, Brazil, and Central America.[183]

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 93%, with an average score of 7.9/10, based on 338 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads: "A bigger, bolder Spider-Man sequel, No Way Home expands the franchise's scope and stakes without losing sight of its humor and heart."[184] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on 58 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[185] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a rare "A+" grade on an A+ to F scale, the first live-action Spider-Man film and the fourth MCU film overall to earn the score after The Avengers (2012), Black Panther (2018), and Avengers: Endgame.[176] PostTrak reported 95% of audience members gave it a positive score, with 89% saying they would definitely recommend it.[176]

Amelia Emberwing of IGN gave the film 8 out of 10, stating that its "impact on the universe as a whole, as well as the overall emotional beats, all feel earned" while praising the performances of Dafoe, Molina, and Foxx.[186] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood praised Watts's direction and wrote, "Holland, Zendaya, and Batalon are a priceless trio, and the various villains and 'others' who pop in and out make this pure movie fun of the highest order. Fans will be in heaven".[187] Peter Debruge of Variety praised Garfield's and Maguire's performances and felt the film "provides enough resolution for the past two decades of Spider-Man adventures that audiences who've tuned out along the way will be rewarded for giving this one a shot".[28] Writing for Den of Geek, Don Kaye gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, for its action sequences, performances and chemistry of the cast, stating that "No Way Home channels the entire spectrum of Spider-Man movies while setting the character on a course all his own at last".[188] Jennifer Bisset of CNET praised the action sequences, performances, and story, writing: "A Russo Brothers influence can almost be felt ushering Holland's third Spider-Man movie into new, weightier territory. If the character is to become the next Tony Stark, this is the way to etch a few more scars into a more interesting hero's facade. If you came for the biggest movie of the year, you'll definitely leave satisfied".[189]

Kevin Maher of The Times gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, saying that it was "As satisfying to watch as it is perilous to discuss", and described it as "a dynamite blast of smarty-pants postmodernism that never once abandons its emotional core."[190] Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, praising Watts for "bringing back numerous baddies from the previous Spider-Man universes, delivering a propulsive, slickly choreographed adventure that will appease a broad fanbase this Christmas" but feeling that the script "lacks the expected fizz, that sense of shaggy fun struggling to break through a more robotic plot".[191] Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film a "B–", feeling that Watts's work was "satisfying, emotional, and occasionally unsteady". She found that the script spent "far too long dwelling on the machinations of people and plans we already know, throwing in some awkward misdirection and simply delaying the inevitable".[192] The Hollywood Reporter's John DeFore felt that the inclusion of "multiversal mayhem" addressed the "Iron Man-ification of the character" that made Holland-centric films "least fun".[193]

CNN's Brian Lowry praised the humor and wrote, "What's already apparent, though, is that this movie was conceived to be savored and enjoyed. And in what has become an increasingly elusive phenomenon, that will include whoops and hollers from appreciative fans in theaters, where "Spider-Man" will first reveal its secrets, and then, more than likely, shows off its legs."[194] Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 out of 4 and praised the performances of Holland and Zendaya, writing: "There's nothing new or particularly memorable about the serviceable CGI and practical effects, but we remain invested in the outcome in large part because Holland remains the best of the cinematic Spider-Men, while Zendaya lends heart and smarts and warmth to every moment she's onscreen. We continue to root for these two to make it, even if the multi-verse isn't always on their side."[195] In contrast, Bilge Ebiri of Vulture called the film "aggressively mediocre," but praised Dafoe – whom he said "once again gets to have some modest fun with his character's divided self" – and Garfield, calling him a "genuine delight" and naming his the film's best performance.[196]

Future

By August 2019, a fourth film in the franchise was in development alongside No Way Home.[51] In February 2021, Holland said that while No Way Home was the final film under his contract with Marvel and Sony, he hoped to continue playing Spider-Man in the future if asked.[8][197] That July, Zendaya said she was unaware if another Spider-Man film would be made.[198] In October, Holland said that No Way Home was treated as "the end of a franchise" that began with Spider-Man: Homecoming, and that any additional solo films featuring the MCU Spider-Man characters would be different from this trilogy of films, building "something different" with a tonal change, in part due to Parker being stripped of his real-world identity at the end of No Way Home.[23]

The following month, Holland said that he was unsure if he should continue making Spider-Man films, that he is hoping for a film to be focused on Miles Morales instead of Parker, and that continuing to play the character in his thirties may have been a sign that he had "done something wrong". Despite this, Pascal stated that she hopes to continue working with Holland on future Spider-Man films[63] and later clarified that Sony and Marvel Studios were intending to make at least three more Spider-Man films starring Holland, with Marvel and Sony getting ready to begin on the first of these films by the end of November 2021.[124] However, The Hollywood Reporter noted that there were no official plans for a new trilogy, despite the strong working relationship between the studios.[199] The following month, Feige said that he, Pascal, Disney, and Sony were "actively beginning to develop" the next Spider-Man story, assuring that there would not be any "separation trauma" that occurred between Far From Home and No Way Home.[200]
