If you have information, feel free to DM me. #SpiderManNoWayHome," wrote a user.
Meanwhile, Tom Holland's Spider-Man will have many enemies to face, and many believe that he will have some help from some very familiar faces as villains such as Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin and what appears to be a new and updated version of Electro are confirmed to return.
