With Spider-Man: No Way Home available digitally, Sony has released the film’s first ten minutes. You can relive those harrowing opening beats of the film, including Peter Parker’s identity being revealed publically, MJ’s terrifying web-swinging journey through the Manhattan skyline, her even more disgusting escape through the sewers, Aunt May’s breakup with Happy, and of course, THAT cameo.
No Way Home was the biggest hit in years and is largely responsible for the mass return of audiences to cinemas. It was the first mega-hit since the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic and is now the third highest-grossing domestic movie of all time. In a pandemic!
On a budget of $200 million, it has now made $1.877 billion, $760.9M was generated in North America. No Way Home did not open in the lucrative China market, the second-largest territory for American movies.
Jon Watts returned, after helming the first two solo Tom Holland Spider-Man flicks. Holland was, of course, back under the cowl in the lead role. No Way Home also starred Zendaya as Michelle “M.J.” Jones (Jones-Watson?), Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, Marisa Tomei as May Parker, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Jamie Foxx as Electro, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin, Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson.
The plot centered on Peter attempting to wipe his memory from everyone on the planet… and beyond… like way beyond.
Oh, and they brought back the other two live-action cinematic Spider-Men! Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire returned as their versions of Peter Parker. No Way Home also included a cameo from Charlie Cox as Daredevil… well, Matt Murdock at least, as seen in the ten-minute clip above. Plus a cryptic post-credits cameo by Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock. We’ll have to see how that plays out in the future.
If you prefer physical media, Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released in the U.S. on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on March 22. Keep in mind, this is a Sony picture, so don’t expect it on Disney+ anything soon… if ever.
