Sony releases first 10 minutes of Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider-Man: No Way Home is finally coming to digital outlets for the first time tomorrow. Sony Pictures hasn’t exactly been in a rush to bring the film out of theaters because it’s still No. 5 at the box office in its 13th week of release. So it’s not an exaggeration to say that this is Spider-Man’s biggest adventure to date, and easily the highest-grossing Spidey flick. Now, the first 10 minutes of the film have been released online.

No Way Home actually begins with the closing moments of Spider-Man: Far From Home‘s mid-credits scene. Mysterio may be gone, but he got his revenge on Spidey from beyond the grave by outing his secret identity. That means big problems for Peter Parker and his girlfriend, MJ, as well as anyone in their personal orbit. We even get to see how Peter’s rival, Flash Thompson, takes the news that his hero is also the guy he hates the most.

The opening 10 minutes are surprisingly dense, with a subplot about Peter’s Aunt May breaking up with Happy Hogan, Tony Stark’s former bodyguard and best friend. Regardless, Happy stands by the Parkers in their moment of need. There’s also a very crowd-pleasing scene in which Charlie Cox makes his MCU return as Matt Murdock, the alter ego of Daredevil. Matt appears only as Peter’s lawyer, but he can’t help exposing some of his extrasensory abilities when the need arises.

Tom Holland stars in the film as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, with Zendaya as MJ, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, Jon Favreau as Harold “Happy” Hogan, Marisa Tomei as May Parker, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson. Previous Spider-Man cinematic villains also returned for the film, including Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro, and Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus. For the benefit of anyone who hasn’t seen the movie, we’ll refrain from spoiling any of the other returns.

Kraven the Hunter goes for a punch.

After six years of flops and diminishing returns, Sony is saying farewell to its Spider-Man Universe (SSU).

According to a new report from The Wrap, Kraven the Hunter will likely be the final film in the polarizing SSU. Instead of building movies around characters associated with Spider-Man, Sony will now focus on projects directly connected to the friendly neighborhood superhero.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series at 30 — Did this show help create the MCU as we know it?

During the '80s, the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon was endlessly rerun long after the show was canceled. To a generation of kids, that was their Spider-Man, until 1994 when Fox Kids debuted Spider-Man: The Animated Series. That cartoon premiered 30 years ago this month, largely thanks to the massive success of X-Men: The Animated Series. Fox already had that show and Batman: The Animated Series for superhero fans, but the network was convinced to give Spidey a shot as well. That led to one of the best adaptations of Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko's signature creation.

Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) has not gone according to plan. Several SSU entries, including Morbius and Madame Web, have been either critically reviled or box office failures. The three Venom films have all been profitable but garnered a negative reception. J.C. Chandor is hoping his film, Kraven the Hunter, will turn the SSU in a positive direction.

While speaking with Comicbook.com, Chandor acknowledged the criticisms of Sony's previous Spider-Man films. Chandor is hoping that fans will watch Kraven with an open mind and not let the SSU's negative reception cloud their judgment.
