The announcement of the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home It caused such an uproar that tickets for the preview were sold out worldwide and Ecuador was no exception. Those who managed to get tickets were able to see the film yesterday in our country and for the following days, the tickets are sold out. The rage was so great that the first trailer became the most viewed, receiving 355.5 million global views in its first 24 hours, beating the previous record of Avengers: Endgame, which garnered 289 million views.

The new film connects directly after the events of Far From Home, when Peter (Tom Holland) y MJ (zendaya) see how the world receives the news of Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). The false hero accuses Spidey as the main responsible for his death and, to top it off, reveals the secret identity of the Marvel superhero. Now that the world knows his secret and worse still they take him as a murderer, Peter goes to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) looking for help. The sorcerer of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) offers him a possible solution, but the situation gets out of control and instead of turning things in Spidey’s favor, he ends up ripping the Multiverse.

The opening of the Multiverse allows the villains of Spider-Man to congregate in this new universe. Now the hero will have to capture them and return them to his world since his presence is destabilizing the Multiverse. This story, added to the possibility that the Spideys of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield unleashed the madness in the fans.

It is the 27th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, originally intended to be the 28th in the series. Additionally, the film marks the first MCU trilogy directed by the same director, Jon Watts. All previous movie franchises like Iron Man Y Captain America they had only two consistent directors throughout their trilogies.

critics

Kate Erbland, from IndieWire He said, “The MCU isn’t always out to be really risky, particularly on the standalone features that will certainly shock the rest of the list, but No Way Home He is not afraid to launch something entirely new, with a truly reverential eye to the past and with the hope of a new future worth fighting for. The road to the final moments of No Way Home, they are affectionate as heartbreaking, may have had some obstacles, but the darkness is worth it ”.

Mae Abdulbaki, de Screen Rant wrote: “Thanks to Peter finally taking matters into his own hands, No Way Home can fly higher than any of the previous Spider-Man entries in the MCU. The film reflects on what kind of hero Spider-Man is and who he aspires to be – is he someone who takes charge of his decisions? Do you help people in need or do you leave them behind? These questions greatly influence your story, adding seriousness to your journey as a hero trying to carve a path for himself. No Way Home it looks more like a movie Spider-Man. It’s a bit cheesy, but endearing, sincere and incredibly funny, which is how it should be. “

Cast, villains and curiosities

According to the specialized site IMDb, the film is 2 hours 28 minutes long, including two post-credit scenes, so we recommend that you do not leave the theater once the film is over.

The cast The film includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, Benedict Wong (Wong), Willem Defoe, Marisa Tomei (Aunt May) and, as confirmed by Variety, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield appear.

In the first official trailer of the film, the appearance of Doctor Octopus was confirmed and a hint was given to the appearance of Willem Defoe’s Green Goblin, but it was until the second trailer that the appearance of five of the villains of the previous sagas was confirmed of Spider-Man.

The trailer shows the Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin, Electro, Sandman and Lizard. Regarding the post-credit scenes of ‘Spider-man: No Way Home’ with the MCU: According to some leaks, the first post-credit scene would only serve to confirm something that has already been known since Venom: Let There Be Carnage, since Tom Hardy and the symbiote would appear alongside Tom Holland. The second refers to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which opens next 2022, and some even say it would be the official trailer.

When Spider-Man stands on top of a car, there is a taxi behind him. The numbers on this vehicle say 1228. This is a reference to Stan Lee’s birthday, which is December 28th. And as usual, this will be the second Spider-Man film, after Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) in which co-creator Stan Lee will not have a cameo as he passed away on November 12, 2018; Avengers: endgame (2019) was his final cameo.

Fan testimonials

Héctor Castro, fan

“Year after year Marvel intends to break the market with its films, many of them with good sense, well made and closely based on the comic. Everything was going well for Marvel until the pandemic fell, his hit Avengers: Endgame closed a cycle for its classic heroes, that command had to be relieved and many found in the good Spidey the future “commander” of Marvel, however, there was a but beforehand: his two predecessors, remembering that the rights of Spiderman belong to Sony .

Marvel has an Achilles heel that it cannot solve with its economic might, and no matter how much money it puts in, Sony will always say no, because it is more profitable to make a movie with just good Spidey. In that conflict fell the third Spidey: Tom Holland who does not do badly his role in the movies but who would have to overcome the good performances of Andrew Garfield and the all-powerful Tobey Maguire, why? Because many of us really liked Tobey’s trilogy, because we saw him cry to Uncle Ben, and avenge him, and enforce his wise words (great power leads to great responsibility) something that his predecessors did not have in their films, and that In this new installment of Spiderman, Holland and Marvel could get to surpass. But if you can not with the enemy, join him, so they decided to share their net profits with Sony who very kindly lent his character to characterize him once again (which will come and go as long as he leaves profitability).

So what do I expect from this movie? Marvel had to turn to two good actors who played Spiderman, one who is needless to say is a legend to be part of this installment of the Tom Holland trilogy, why?

Because Holland alone, although he is a good actor, does not break the internet with a trailer. So you put in some villains from their predecessors and you have a beautiful moment all to yourself as a producer. But will the movie be a hit? Some saw it and say that it has very good scenes and that by not seeing more superhero movies this year it is a sure success, but that it had to resort to other details to ensure its success. Holland clearly has the bar still a bit high to be that Spidey we all want to see. He may have more movies ahead of him, but the suit is still bare. From the movie I hope its villains make our hair stand on end because by already having Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, it is already a good movie.

No Way Home for me it is the most awaited of all the films of Spider-Man To date, not only because of the expectation that it is rumored that Andrew Garfiled and Tobey Maguire will appear, but because the interaction of the Marvel Multiverse will finally be shown, in the trailers it has already been seen how villains of the other Spidey movies with the other two actors. The appearance of Alfred Molina, Willem Defoe and Jamie Foxx is confirmed, and this sample of the Multiverse opens the door to the hope of seeing the X-Men of FOX, to Defenders of Netflix (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc.) and it is even expected to see something of the new Spidey, Miles Morales, of which there was already a wink in the first Tom Holland film, when the character of Miles’s uncle, Aaron Davis, appears, played by Donald Glover.
