Last night, Marvel dropped the first full-length trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home movie - and it has created a swell of different emotions among fans.
No Way Home follows on from 2019's Far From Home, which ended with Mysterio and J. Jonah Jameson announcing to the world that Tom Holland's Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Mysterio also successfully framed Parker by using doctored footage to convince the world that it was Parker that was behind the drone attack in London.
The new trailer picks up from the previous movie's cliffhanger, with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) telling Peter that he had botched a spell he cast in an effort to make the world forget he was Peter Parker. This has somehow led to villains from other universes (and other Spider-Man movies), appearing and facing off with Holland's Spider-Man.
Check out the explosive new trailer below:We see Alfred Molina reprising his role as Otto Octavius from Sam Raimi's 2004 movie Spider-Man 2, as well as Jamie Foxx's Electro from Marc Webb's 2014 movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
However, Electro wasn't the only nod to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to feature in the trailer, as eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed an homage to Gwen Stacy's death in the same movie.
For those who may not remember, in the 2014 installment, Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy falls to her death following Spider-Man's battle with Electro and Green Goblin. After Stacy is thrown from the top of the clock tower by the Goblin, Parker - played by Andrew Garfield - is unable to save her.
Relive the heartbreaking moment below:Despite his web grabbing her just before she hits the ground, the sudden stop breaks Stacy's spine and she dies, leaving Parker to fall into a state of depression and abandon his Spider-Man duties.
And in the new No Way Home trailer, we see our new Spider-Man's love interest, MJ (Zendaya), fall from a platform, as Parker once again desperately reaches out to try and save her.
The eerily similar moment did not go unnoticed by social media users - with some fans being convinced that it will be Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker that catches MJ - as a way he can finally forgive himself for failing to save Gwen:
One fan went as far as to say: "I’m gonna be honest. If Andrew Garfield’s entrance in Spider-Man: No Way Home is him saving MJ as she’s falling because Tom Holland can’t, in an attempt to fulfill what he couldn’t do to Gwen… I’m gonna die in the theater. Physically die."
I won't lie, as a massive Spider-Man fan, I actually got goosebumps writing that.
Of course, despite rumors that both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will be once again reprising the role of Spider-Man in the upcoming No Way Home, Garfield has once again denied any involvement in the movie.
On a recent appearance on the Today show, Garfield continued to deny the rumors, saying: "Listen, I'm not in the film. I love Spider-Man, I always have. I was so happy to have played the part, and I'm so excited to see what they do with the third one, just like you guys are, to be honest. No, that's not a diplomatic answer. I really, really mean it."
Yeah, we'll see about that...
