Finally, the long-awaited first look at Spider-Man: No Way Home is here. The official trailer for the forthcoming Marvel flick dropped on Wednesday. Stream the official clip below.
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero's identity is revealed, bringing his super hero responsibilities into conflict with his normal life and putting those he cares about most at risk.
When he enlists Doctor Strange’s help to restore his secret, the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who’ve ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe. Now, Peter will have to overcome his greatest challenge yet, which will not only forever alter his own future but the future of the Multiverse.
Tom Holland returns as Spider-Man, once again teaming up with director John Watts. Other familiar faces returning are Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, and Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange.
Last December, it was reported that Alfred Molina and Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx would be returning to the franchise to reprise their previous roles.
