While even the Raimi Spidey movies tried to homage to that moment with various Mary Jane falls, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actually did the whole thing, and this shot of Zendaya mirrors that of Emma Stone’s fall to her doom almost exactly. The cinematic equivalent in The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Um…charitably we can say less so. OK, but seriously, the death of Gwen Stacy is one of the all-time most iconic moments in the history of superhero comics, and and defining moment in the life of Peter Parker. Peter! What did we tell you about bringing your romantic partners to high places? If you keep dropping them you won’t be allowed to play with them anymore! We have some more “evidence” (if you want to call it that)… MJ Falling
Wouldn’t it make sense for there to be a Spidey at Electro’s level and one at Lizard’s? In fact, at :55 in this international version of the trailer, Lizard clearly gets punched…by someone who isn’t there. This is kind of a weird framing, isn’t it? Three villains in different parts of the screen, with one hero in the middle…only leaping towards the baddie in the middle. In fact…check this out… Multiple Spider-Men Confirmed?
But c’mon, we all know there are other Spideys in this movie, right?
But since any/all hopes that we’d get confirmation that there are also multiple Spider-Men in this movie have been dashed by this trailer, we’ll just have to wait until they actually appear in theaters. Just in case you had any doubt about whether that was Sandman whipping up those sandstorms in the first trailer, it looks like Flint Marko is back! But wait…Marko most definitely survived the ending of Spider-Man 3, even having been forgiven by Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker (although none of us will ever forgive Spider-Man 3).ĭoes this mean that Sandman and Spidey had a rematch and things didn’t go well? That would sure require some explanation, perhaps one best delivered by the Spidey in question.
Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon in that weird Electro look that he had in The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Extremely regrettable. Or perhaps it’s James Franco’s version of Harry who did indeed take ye olde dirt nap at the end of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3? Nah…that seems unlikely for any number of reasons.ĭoes this mean that Dafoe’s Green Goblin finally gets a much-deserved makeover? After all, he wouldn’t be the only baddie in the trailer to get an upgrade… Electro Who’s this other handsome devil on a goblin glider? While the influx of villains seems to indicate that this could be Dane DeHaan’s best forgotten Harry Osborn, that character survived The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which would probably make him ineligible to appear here. Unfortunately he’s still wearing that ridiculous get-up…or is he? We heard his sinister laugh and witnessed a pumpkin bomb explosion in the first Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, but this time, Willem Dafoe is fully back in action as the Green Goblin from the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies.
The TV series would deal with James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) coming to the same conclusion and trying to shut it all down…could Doc Ock’s new arms be our first hint of that? Green Goblin In the comics, Armor Wars dealt with Tony Stark realizing that someone had been stealing his tech and using it to arm the armored villains of the Marvel Universe. What’s interesting is that last year, Marvel Studios announced that an Armor Wars series would be coming to Disney+. Check it out, and then we’ll take a close look at all the cool Spidey, Marvel Comics, and MCU references and Easter eggs we could find. And to be honest, we were expecting quite a lot right out of the gate, so that’s saying something.įirst of all, just in case you’re here and you haven’t even watched the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer yet, allow us to fix that for you. And it is perhaps even bigger, wilder, and weirder than anyone expected. And both Sony and Marvel Studios have done their level best to lean in to the fan anticipation in every possible way, with teases, secrecy, more teases, outright denial, and a marketing campaign that has left absolutely nothing to chance.īut the new (and final) Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer is finally here. The secrecy surrounding this movie has sent speculation (and some genuine leaks) to a fever pitch almost unheard of in recent times. Has there been a more anticipated trailer than this new one for Spider-Man: No Way Home over the last few years? We’re having serious trouble thinking of one.
