The first footage from the threequel reveals a returned Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man 2‘s Alfred Molina), now in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, alongside blink-and-you’ll-miss-it teases for foes like the Green Goblin (Spider-Man‘s Willem Dafoe), Sandman (Spider-Man 3‘s Thomas Haden Church), the Lizard (The Amazing Spider-Man‘s Rhys Ifans), and Electro (The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘s Jamie Foxx).
These returning villains, and confirmation of a Multiverse storyline expected to bring back Spider-Men played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, helped put all of Sony’s Spider-Man movies back on top of digital rental charts amid No Way Home mania.
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Sony and Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: No Way Home is scheduled to open in theaters on December 17.
