Spider-Man: No Way Home
Warning : This article contains spoilers forSpider - human beings : No Way Home .
A few years ago , Marvel Studios ’ most ambitious franchise crossing wasAvengers : Infinity War , which brought together lineament from all of the studio ’s separate solo superhero flick in one big , larger-than-life squad - up . Now , Spider - Man : No Way Homehas topped that ambitiousness , teaming up not only characters from Marvel ’s own franchises , but rend in previous incarnations of characters from other versions of theSpider - Manfranchise , too .
From Alfred Molina ’s Doc Ock to Willem Dafoe ’s Green Goblin to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield ’s Spider - Men , No Way Homebrought back plenty of fan - favourite from other franchise .
The Lizard
Rhys Ifans reprises his office as the Lizard inNo Way Home . Ifans is a okay actor , but the Lizard was a dull , generic baddie inThe Amazing Spider - Manand he is n’t made any more interesting inNo Way Home .
The moving picture ’s most memorable moment call for the Lizard are when other persona are surprised to acquire that “ the dinosaur ” can blab .
The Sandman
Thomas Haden Church returns as the Sandman , one of the high-risk guys from the controversially overstuffedSpider - Man 3 . Along with the Lizard , the Sandman is one of the most sidelined returning villains .
With a familiar soundbite about wanting to reunify with his daughter , the Sandman ’s role inNo Way Homemight as well be a supercut of minute fromSpider - Man 3 . He has a abbreviated moment with Maguire ’s Spidey that feels like an hasten re - pace of a much more emotionally charged sequence from the notorious Raimi threequel .
Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy)
Topher Grace ’s Venom is nowhere to be seen inNo Way Home , but there ’s a fun cameo from Tom Hardy ’s Eddie Brock as he ’s whisked into the MCU and a bartender catch him up on the Avengers ’ antics before he ’s whisk off back into the Sony - verse line . It seems strange that the credits scene ofVenom : Let There Be Carnagewould plant Hardy ’s Eddie in the MCU only forNo Way Home ’s credits scene to push him back out of it .
Still , he allow behind some symbiotes , introducing them into the MCU , so Marvel is possibly setting up a different Venom for the MCU . Tony Revolori ’s Flash would make a hilarious Venom polar Tom Holland ’s Spidey . Either room , this mid - credits scene is mainly a sign that Sony ’s working relationship with Marvel is strong than ever .
Electro
Electro has an awesome vamp look inNo Way Homefollowing his disappointing appearance inThe Amazing Spider - Man 2 . Jamie Foxx is n’t hidden behind nerd makeup and Electro is surrounded by glorious yellow dash of electricity as oppose to glowing racy skin .
While Foxx knocks the comedic delivery out of the park , like roundly telling Ned , “ It ’s just a tree , ” Electro is one of the most underutilized characters in the movie .
Daredevil
Technically , Charlie Cox ’s Daredevil is an MCU eccentric , but there ’s been some debate about whether Marvel ’s Netflix show counting as canon after Disney unceremoniously canceled them so it could launch its own streaming service full of Marvel subject matter .
AfterNo Way Home , Matt Murdock is officially integrated into the mainline MCU . He only appears in one scene to tell Peter that he wo n’t face any serious sound troubles , but he experience at least one memorable moment when he catch a brick being throw through the window at Peter . Along with the Kingpin ’s return inHawkeye , Cox’sNo Way Homecameo is a promising sign .
J. Jonah Jameson
After being fluff inFar From Home ’s mid - credits prospect , J.K. Simmonsreturns as J. Jonah Jamesonwith a large role inNo Way Home . Simmons continues to raise he ’s the only actor who can effectively toy the motormouth editor in chief of the Daily Bugle .
The MCU ’s variation is characterize more like the podcasting Jameson from theSpider - ManPS4 games than the newspaper editor from the Raimi film ( and the comics ) . This Jameson is a mod take on a conspiracy - go around newsman – and a parody of InfoWars .
Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield)
Garfield ’s role inNo Way Homeestablishes all the dark ideas that would ’ve been search in his unproduced thirdAmazing Spider - Manmovie . Feelings of guilt feelings and rage hinderedhis crimefighting work as Spider - Manafter Gwen Stacy ’s end . Saving MJ in the finale pay off his worst misunderstanding . Garfield ’s Spidey gets a real arc and he wager all those emotion beautifully .
The Green Goblin
The Green Goblin from Raimi’sSpider - Mantrilogy smash his controversial Power Rangers - esque mask in an early picture inNo Way Home . Willem Dafoe ’s sinister portrayal of “ the benighted half ” of Norman Osborn is even creepy-crawly without the mask .
After the shameful midpoint at Happy ’s condo complex , the Goblin emerges as the big bad of the whole movie . This is fitting , give that the Goblin is widely regarded to be the ultimate Spider - Man villain .
Doctor Octopus
Alfred Molina repeat the role of Doctor Octopus seamlessly , working from a script that absolutely recharacterizes the complex villain fromSpider - Man 2 . Both Molina and the stuff he work with nail the Jekyll - and - Hyde moral force shared by Otto and his mechanical limbs .
He gets a honest redemption inNo Way Homefollowing his equivocal sacrificeat the oddment ofSpider - Man 2 . He even team up with the Spider - Men to facilitate defend the other tough bozo .
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire)
As exciting as Garfield ’s income tax return was , the definitive Peter Parker will always be Tobey Maguire . His reintroduction inNo Way Homehas a uproariously anticlimactical punchline when he steps through the portal in his civilian dress . The audience is filled with nostalgia and glee , but Ned has no idea who he is : “ Oh , large , it ’s just some guy . ”
WhileNo Way Homeis primarily focused on Holland ’s Spidey , it also allow occlusion on some Raimi trilogy storylines , like the fact that Maguire ’s version of Peter is still Spider - Man after all these years and the revelation that Peter and Mary Jane oversee to make it work .
