New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Trailer Reveals the Origin of Doc Ock’s Stark Tech Upgrade
The latest Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer has finally arrived. It offered a clearer look at the returning villains from across the multiverse that’ll make the life of Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker a living hell. Alfred Molina‘s Doc Ock took most of the focus in the earlier promotion and we even had a tease that he might get an upgrade to his iconic arms at some point. Well, the latest trailer may have given us a clear insight into how he got his hands on it and it’s actually been in our voice the entire time.
When we first saw the upgrade, its red and golden lighting made everyone make the connection to Tony Stark’s Iron Man. So, we thought that perhaps he stole technology from Stark Technologies, but the answer may have been simpler than we assumed. It actually was in our face the entire time since the first trailer’s release. When Peter faces off against Doc Ock, he is wearing his Iron Spider suit from Avengers: Infinity War.
In a brief sequence, we see the suit’s nanotech reveal his face. It turns out the reasoning is simple, part of his chest piece was ripped out. So, just like with Iron Man’s suit, it had to adapt, or else he would’ve broken more than just a few ribs. There’s also a great detail of his tie also hanging out as we know he was wearing a suit before he put on the armor.
The way it also spreads in the trailer hints at the fact that it is the same nano-technology. It’s unclear how exactly he manages to take over the technology so the suit adapts to him, but we get a hint that his arms have regained their sentience. So, they might’ve “hacked” into the suit and managed to steal some elements while Peter was wrapped by his arms, which we saw in some of the promotional material. It’ll be interesting to see how his upgrade might tie into the film’s overarching narrative.

Tom Holland Open to Pass the Torch in a Miles Morales Film After ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’
Actor Tom Holland has been quite vocal about playing the role of Spider-Man for as long as he can. He’s already been playing the character for six years across three solo films and other franchises, such as Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Not every actor can play a character forever but it seemed like he was certainly open to it. In an interview with GQ, he seemed to have opened up on his future in the role and passed the torch after Spider-Man: No Way Home to someone playing Miles Morales at one point in the MCU’s future.
Maybe it is time for me to move on. Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film. I have to take Peter Parker into account as well, because he is an important part of my life. If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong
The statement is a bit ironic if you consider that Tobey Maguire played the character in Spider-Man 3 when he was around 31 years old and Andrew Garfield was 30 during the production of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2013. So, it’s not too uncommon someone played the character in their 30s. Especially with their rumored return in the upcoming film, perhaps he’s also taking a little jab at the actors for fun.
Still, the potential of Miles Morales taking over the role of Spider-Man isn’t unreasonable. He was briefly teased in a past film, but it would be hasty to rush out a production right after No Way Home. It would be great to take the route from the Insomniac games, as Spidey takes on the mentor role and passes on everything he learned rather than just a quick farewell. We’ll see what they might have planned for the character once the third entry finally releases.

What Was Missing From the Latest ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Trailer
The Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer arrived last night and what was NOT in the trailer is probably as noteworthy as what is. Yes, we got a great look at the film’s villain, including looks at upgraded Electro, Green Goblin and Doc Ock costumes. What we didn’t see, however, is probably just as big of a story. Notably absent from a trailer that featured the villains from previous big screen iterations of Spidey were the Spideys from those iterations.
Fans were hoping Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire would show up not only in the trailer but, perhaps, in person at the trailer event. Neither of those things happened for either of those actors, unfortunately. Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock didn’t show up either and so it looks like we’ll spend the next month continuing the debate as to whether or not these characters are actually going to appear in the film.
While having that debate, make sure to analyze a ridiculous piece of footage that Sony CHOSE to include in the trailer. In the footage, seen below, Tom Holland’s Spidey jumps into action against 3 villains: Electro, the Lizard and Sandman.
In the U.S. version ,as @owenwithoutfear so deftly points out, bro, it’s clear enough that while Spidey is jumping out, not all the villains are reacting to him. It seems incredibly likely that, in this clip, a couple of other characters may have been edited out to be saved for the film as a “surprise.”
But wait, there’s more. To make matters worse, Sony chose to keep an EXTENDED version of the same scene in an international version of the trailer. In the extended clip, Lizard clearly reacts as if being struck in the face.
Much like we can only infer the presence of a black hole by how it effects the matter around it, we can infer that Lizard just got hit in the mouth. Was it Hawkeye? Was it Ant-Man? It is far more likely that what we see here is a scene in which 3 Spidey villains take on 3 Spider-Men and one of them swings out and punches or kicks Lizard in his newly designed mouth.
Of course the absence of something cannot be considered evidence of something, so fans are going to keep on debating whether or not Garfield and Maguire will show in the film. Fortunately, we don’t have much longer to have to find out for certain.

Some Key Actors Hadn’t Signed On Yet Ahead of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Production Start
There are countless rumors surrounding who may or may not appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The latest trailer at least confirmed the appearance of the various villains that have been hinted at for over a year. Of course, we can’t forget the rumors of former Spider-Man actors, Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield, having a role in the story.
While enough has leaked and hinted at it, Sony still is playing coy on their appearance. In a new interview with GQ, Tom Holland shared that production was extremely dependent on everyone signing on without confirming who exactly he is referencing.
Some people were trying to figure out whether they wanted to do it, and we needed all of them or none.
Tom HollandHolland highlighted that a lot of the film had to be rewritten, especially with the pandemic postponing the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Still, they somehow managed to pull it off and the actor is certainly extremely excited for everyone to see what they managed to put together. We might not know how many of the rumors are true until the film finally releases in around a month, but the teases we got does seem quite promising for what the future has in store for the MCU’s version of Spider-Man.

New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Trailer Reveals Electro’s More Comic-Accurate Design
The second trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home has finally arrived. Ahead of its release, there was quite a few discussion on what it may include. Would we finally get confirmation on the long-rumored appearances of Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield? Are they going to tease Charlie Cox‘s return as Matt Murdock? Well, those appearances are still kept in the shadows, but we did get our official look at the film’s main villains beyond just a Green Goblin tease and Doc Ock. Among them, was our first look at Jamie Foxx‘s return as Electro, but he got quite the redesign.
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we get introduced to Max Dillon. He’s a shy engineer that works for Oscorp that ends up falling into a small aquarium filled with genetically-engineered eel. Once they bite him, his entire body is filled with electricity and his body turns into a blue conduit. Why he also can completely dissolve his body throughout the movie. In No Way Home, they took a more comic-accurate route. He seems to have a normal look with what seems like a green jacket, but his lightning went back to the original yellow. The best part, they even added in his original headgear through the lightning.
His design looks great and the headpiece is a nice touch. We probably haven’t seen the full extent of his ability and we’ll see if he can also turn his entire body into electricity. It’s uncertain how big of a role he’ll have due to how many characters are already planned for the project, but it’s great to see Foxx‘s return to the role and here’s hoping he’ll have fun with it.

Murphy’s Team-Up, Volume 7: ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Trailer Thoughts
Mary Maerz
Was it worth the dramatic wait? Not really. Was it worth some kind of wait? Sure. By (unsurprisingly) not giving away any of the BIG reveals, it still kind of feels like a bit of a let down to me. Even though not much will actually be a surprise at this point, I still would have liked to see a bit more of a tease to the other Spider-People. I do really like the more sinister tone going on, and the references to all the villains’ fates being death by other Spideys (and Peter presumably not wanting to send them back to their deaths) gives it a bit more of a plot, BUT it’s still very fluffy and vague since they are avoiding a lot. But yay, action action. Doctor Strange is weird to me still. It bothers me more than anything, but his at least partially-antagonistic role is cool.
Hunter Radesi
The first full length trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home delivers on all the promises the studio already made, but none that the fans had been holding out hope for. It’s definitely a good time, and I found myself grinning like an idiot when all the villains of Spider-Man past made their big debut, but something about it almost felt a little less grand than expected. I’m hoping that simply means Sony has learned to save the good stuff for the actual movie.Oh, and that quick look at Electro has me buzzing more than anything else. Bring on the goofy comic book goodness!
Charles Murphy
Since finding out what this movie would be all about, I haven’t really been excited. I really wanted this film to be a showcase for Tom Holland as Spider-Man, exploring parts of the character that we haven’t seen so far. I’ve been worried that we wouldn’t get that. This trailer does seem to indicate that we will get a much bigger dose of that than I thought. I’m still not super hyped up to see the movie (though I absolutely loved the Foxx’s new look as Electro), but I do have more hope for it being a story about the MCU’s Peter Parker than I did before.
Joao Pinto
I have just two major takeaways after watching the trailer. One is an interesting development where Doc Ock appears not to be an outright villain and even though he’ll play Peter’s antagonist he might also play a part in helping him both understand and get through the situation he finds himself in. The other one is the omission of all the characters that will help to even the playing field in Peter’s favor. The trailer already does explain a lot of what’s going on: the reason why so many characters from other franchises show up, who’s to blame for that and why they all seek Peter so it’s good to still have a few things to look forward to. Other than that, it does do a good job hyping up the movie. See you in a month’s time.
Filip Manka
I was looking forward to the second trailer of NWH because the first one left me unsatisfied. And the second one… also. I’m not a fan of this trailer. It lacks structure and there is a lot of narrative chaos in it. The CGI and the teaser for the 3rd act looks pretty weak and I hope it looks better in the movie itself. The parallels to “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” on the other hand are cheap nostalgia bait for the fans. On the other hand, there are some nice shots and it feels like it will be an emotional culmination of the trilogy. I am once again confused and wish the movie itself would positively surprise me.
Anthony Canton III
The two biggest things about this trailer are firstly Tom’s Peter Parker story. We have something to grasp on now as he tries deal with the idea of letting these villains die. How that plays into the conflict with Dr. Strange will be incredibly fascinating. The other is the fate of one of Peter’s loved ones. It feels like by Peter interfering with destiny he’s going to be responsible for a death, and it’s going to be heartbreaking for him, and heartbreaking for us.
Arlyn Murphy
The trailer made me overly excited for the movie to come out. I really liked that they brought in different characters that are from the other two universes. Seeing them tie in the previous Spider-Man stories into the MCU is very exciting for me. With all the villains from the previous movies in the film I expect Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to show up too.
Nathan Miller
I’ve seen mixed responses to this trailer, which I think I share. In some ways it’s a perfectly Peter Parker scenario that Spidey finds himself in. Feeling obliged to try and save antagonists from their fate, that he, or his variants, may be responsible for. I like the Alfred Molina content in this trailer. In that sense, it’s a brilliant trailer for casual viewers who don’t know what else might be coming and will be truly surprised in the cinema when they see it. On the other hand, with all the hype surrounding the film the lack of freshness means more waiting for the excitement to be pushed forward, in which case it might be best to check-out of paying attention to the marketing for now, until tickets go on sale. -
‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Releasing 2 Days Earlier in the UK
It looks like UK viewers are in luck, as Digital Spy has confirmed that the next Sony-Marvel Studios collaboration will hit UK theaters early. Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to release on Wednesday, December 15th while the US and other territories are still scheduled for a December 17th release. The announcement comes at a perfect time, as we’re about to get a second trailer tomorrow that’ll be revealed in a fan event. It’s uncertain what exactly we can expect and when it might find its way online, but there is hope we get an announcement sometime today.
It’s not uncommon for a Marvel film to release early in the UK or even Europe. There’s no word if this will also expand to other European countries, but it’s not uncommon in these countries to have an early preview on Wednesdays. Austria generally has early blockbuster releases on Wednesday to better split viewership over a few days, especially with fan screenings. They even timed the release of Avengers: Endgame that Infinity War ended on midnight of the US release to start the film. So, it’s not too uncommon but great to see it openly confirmed by Sony.

Danish Synopsis for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Teases “Previous Versions of Spider-Man”
A listing by the Danish film site Nordisk Film Cinemas now lists “previous version of Spider-Man” in its description of next month’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The first part of the synopsis is in line with what’s been seen around the web before; it’s unclear if the Danish theater system is working with official information that might be revealed at this Tuesday’s fan event in Los Angeles or if they’re simply basing the description off of rumors about the film. A second trailer for the film, which is set to go to theaters on December 17th, will debut at the fan event along with promised “big surprises.” It’s possible that among those surprises, Sony could reveal the return of actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as the Spider-Men of their respective universes.
The return of Maguire and Garfield, known as the worst kept secret in Hollywood, is still a topic of debate among fans with some refusing to believe the two actors are back. It is known that villains from both previous Spider-verses will appear with Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx’s Electro having been confirmed by the actors themselves. The film’s first trailer also heavily teased Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and seemed to feature a quick shot of the Lizard, played by Rhys Ifans in The Amazing Spider-Man. As you can see, it’s easy to see why one wouldn’t believe the actors who played the Spider-Men in those films would not return. True Believers!

Kirsten Dunst Backtracks, Open to Return to the ‘Spider-Man’ Franchise
Spider-Man: No Way Home has been filled with theories and rumors that it’s hard to know what is real anymore. It especially got heated when it seemed like actors from previous Spider-Man films were making a comeback. Early rumors included not just the main stars Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, but also some of their supporting cast like Kirsten Dunst‘s Mary Jane.
In an interview with Total Film, she had openly denied being involved with the film. She also highlighted that she doesn’t actively watch superhero movies, including the latest renditions from Marvel Studios and Sony. So, she didn’t seem to show any active interest in these projects. Yet, in a new interview with Variety, she suddenly changed her tune and seemed open to reprising the role of MJ in a Spider-Man project during a screening at AFI Fest.
I would do it. Why not? That would be fun. I would never say no to something like that. I’d be old MJ at this point with little Spidey babies.
Why would this be a curious way to discuss the film? Well, Andrew Garfield did something similar some time ago. At first, he outright denied his involvement with the project only to suddenly leave the door open about potentially returning to the franchise. So, as they continue to get asked about the film, they tend to backtrack from their definite denial.
It’s also not uncommon for actors involved with these projects to openly deny any involvement. Paul Rudd, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeremy Renner, and even recently Tatiana Maslany proclaimed their castings as nothing but rumors, which Dunst also openly did in the interview with Total Film. With the confirmed return of Alfred Molina, it’s still quite the possibility and the upcoming release will give us our definite answer.
