With the sheer mountain of hype enveloping Spider-Man: No Way Home, it should have been impossible to exceed expectations, but somehow, someway, it happened.
In Tom Holland’s third go as Spider-Man, the character grapples with the fallout from a public reveal of his identity as Peter Parker, formally an unassuming kid from Queens, now an international inflection point for the merits of vigilantism and superhero accountability. Desperate to stop his decisions from affecting his friends’ lives, Peter asks Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to magic away the memory of Spider-Man’s identity. But the spell goes wrong and opens pathways to other universes (and other villains), and Peter, with the help of MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon), must clean up his mess and grapple with what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
