- Spider-Man: No Way Home says NO SPOILERS 🚫 (@SpiderManMovie) December 16, 2021
Marvel and Sony ask viewers not to say too much, but they are the first to orchestrate their promotion, from trailers to posters, around the return of the iconic Spider-Man villains and their past performers.
Besides, how is this possible?
[Warning, the rest of this article contains spoilers for
Spider-Man: No Way Home
, come back to read the end after watching the film]
Welcome to the multiverse
No Way Home
begins where
Far From Home
ends
and sees Spider-Man unmasked. Everyone now knows that Peter Parker is hiding under the mask of the superhero, and this does not come without a series of consequences for his private life and that of those close to him. He therefore decides to rely on Doctor Strange, who with a wave of a magic wand, or rather the famous trick with his hands, must erase the memory that Peter Parker is Spidey. Except that the fate does not go as planned and disrupts the universe ... the universes. The multiverse, well known to comic book readers, already mentioned in
Far From Home
, explored in animation in
Spider-Man: New Generation
, is therefore becoming a reality within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and on the big screen.
So that the general public understands the concept well, the director Jon Watts summons several villains from the previous cinema adaptations of Spider-Man: Electro, but also Doctor Octopus, The Sandman, the Lizard and the Green Goblin.
They are of course embodied by the actors for whom the spectators know them, in the films of Sam Raimi and Marc Webb.
The disruption of the multiverse drew them into the universe where Peter Parker has the features of Tom Holland, the MCU, and inevitably, the question was whether they had come alone.
Crazy rooms
With all the rumors, leaks, trailer analyzes, there was little doubt that the two previous Peter Parker, and their performers Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, were in
No Way Home.
, but how and why. When Ned, Peter's geek buddy, is looking for him and opens a portal thanks to Doctor Strange's ring, a Spider-Man arrives, but it is, once the mask has fallen, Andrew Garfield. An anti-spectacular entry on the scene, in the familiarity of a small apartment, but the effect on the fans is immediate: a release and a rare communion in the cinema. Several testimonies speak of rooms in delirium at the Wednesday sessions, like the Grand Rex in Paris. All the more so since after Andrew Garfield, it is around Tobey Maguire to cross a multidimensional portal and “join” this universe and the film.
And no the @PSG_inside didn't just score a goal… it's just the fans setting the #GrandRex on fire in front of #SpiderManNoWayHome!

Fan service and real emotion
If their presence serves above all to ensure the fan service, with references to previous films and meta jokes between insiders, they do not make a simple cameo, but serve the evolution of Tom Holland's Peter Parker, as well as to settle some traumas. .
The film revisits the death of Gwen Stacy, played by Emma Stone in the franchise
The Amazing Spider-Man
and that Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker was unable to save.
While the scene could have been better done, the emotional impact on the audience is real.
Just the fact of bringing together the three incarnations of Spider-Man on the screen, without going so far as to recreate the famous meme, "disrupts" the habits of the public.
He's always seen one performer chasing another, be it Batman, Superman, or Spider-Man, and the films have remained impervious to each other.
It is therefore a paradigm shift for him and for Hollywood, a pandora's box open to the dreams of the wildest fans, and we must admit, the most nostalgic.
Marvel's competitor, DC Comics, was not mistaken, since the future
Flash
film
should bring together different versions of Batman.
But shhh, no spoiler.
