The film's runaway success is welcome news to the exhibition industry, which is still struggling to come back after Covid upended the theatrical landscape. Omicron, the highly contagious variant may prove to be another setback for the business, but it hasn't diminished interest in Spidey's adventures in the meta-verse.
Directed by Jon Watts, 'No Way Home' picks up after Peter Parker's superhero identity is revealed to the everyone, sending his world as well as those of his girlfriend MJ's (Zendaya), Aunt May's (Marisa Tomei) and best friend Ned's (Jacob Batalon) into spin.
In an attempt to return to normalcy, Parker confides in Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and asks the Sorcerer Supreme to cast a spell making the world forget that he is Spider-Man. The incantation goes awry, unleashing a multiverse of villains from the universes of other Spider-Men, including Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx's Electro and Alfred Molina's Doctor Otto Octavius.
