No Way Home is being credited for revitalising the box office amid a pandemic. The film has exceeded every expectation and is now the sixth-biggest grosser at the worldwide box office. This would have been impressive before the pandemic, but for it to happen now it is downright exceptional, even for an MCU movie.
Bringing back Tom Holland as the titular webslinger, the film also features the last two live-action Spidey actors, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
The story explored the concept of the multiverse, and addressed the fallout of Spider-Man’s real identity getting exposed to the world by JK Simmons’ J Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the last film in the franchise.
Supervillains from previous Spidey film franchises, like Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, crossed over to the MCU to face the three Spider-Men.
This is clearly good news for Sony, one of the studios behind it (the other being Marvel Studios), which enjoys majority of the profits from Spidey movies (75 per cent as per reports).
However, the company had issues with the way Holland was promoting the movie. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Holland explained that he got in trouble for using words like “emotional” and “brutal” while on the press tour.
