The movie’s hype came from all the speculation about who would be in the movie. This speculation went on for a year showing leaks here and there of previous characters including Andrew Garfield’s spiderman, and Tobey Maguire’s Spiderman. While they rejected they were in the movie this just made fans even more eager to see the trailer for Spiderman No Way Home.

Junior Cali Hedland said, “My favorite part of it is the nostalgia brought from the use of the original actors.”
The plot for Spiderman No Way Home is about the identity of Spiderman getting revealed to the world by Mysterio, the main antagonist in Spiderman Far From Home. This identity reveal made Peter Parker’s (Spiderman) life really tough having paparazzi flood his home and school not knowing if he was a hero or vigilante. This discovery not only impacted his life, but those close to Parker making his best friend and girlfriend face punishments for associating with spiderman. Parker finally makes the decision to have Dr. Strange make a spell which causes people to forget he was ever Spiderman. In doing so however, the spell was botched and led to a doorway into the multiverse, a concept not previously introduced in the MCU. Parker is then left on to fight these villains from the other parallel dimensions. Parker was forced to make a sacrifice that let him finally grow into his own Spiderman.
What made this film so great was a variety of things. The movie brought back former Spiderman characters, putting the audience to feel a sense of nostalgia which left them astonished and lost for words. The movie also introduced new characters in an almost perfect fashion, not rushing the introduction and not taking too long on it. The movie’s pacing felt terrific as sure to not rush through scenes and develop the characters through the movie. The movie had some funny lines and scenes, but also had scenes that showed the true sadness the protagonist was going through making his character develop. This movie had the audience on the edge of their seats not knowing what to expect. This movie opened a lot of new additions and possibilities for the MCU in the future.
The movie will be available on Disney Plus sometime in July 2021.
