Everything You Need to Know About Spider-Man: No Way Home

The Tom Holland-led film, which premieres on Dec. 17, will include characters from previous Spider-Man film series

Peter Parker is about to unleash the multiverse.

The release of Spider-Man: No Way Home is getting even closer and with that comes even more exciting details about the film. 

Starring Tom Holland, the third installment in the Spider-Man franchise is set to follow Peter Parker after the world finds out his superhero identity. 

Wishing to go back to the way things were before everyone knew he is Spider-Man, Peter enlists help from Doctor Strange to change the course of history. 

However, things eventually go haywire when the two unintentionally break open the multiverse and villains from alternate realities start coming after Peter. 

Based on the few glimpses we’ve gotten from the trailers, the film is expected to be a huge event for Spider-Man fans, both old and new. Not only will there be appearances from characters in past Spider-Man film series, but it’s rumored that Holland won’t be the only Spider-Man suiting up for the movie. 

Ahead of the film’s official release in December, read ahead for everything we know about the movie.

Which Spider-Man villains are returning for Spider-Man: No Way Home

The official trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home confirmed a handful of big villains will appear in the movie including Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin from Spider-Man, Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2, Thomas Haden Church as Sandman from Spider-Man 3, Rhys Ifans as Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man and Jamie Foxx as Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Don’t worry: this isn’t Holland’s final Spider-Man film! In an interview with Fandango, producer Amy Pascal confirmed Sony Pictures has plans to work with Marvel Studios on more Holland-led Spider-Man movies. 

“This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie,” Pascal said. “We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.”
