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.

Spider-Man: No Way Home will be out on digital tomorrow, Tuesday, March 15. The Blu-Ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release will follow on April 12.

Why you should watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Netflix

This month, Netflix has welcomed The Amazing Spider-Man 2 back to its lineup, and it has quickly become one of the most popular movies on Netflix. That makes this the perfect opportunity to tell you why you should watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Netflix.

Now, we would never argue that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the best Spider-Man film or even a great one. It's got a lot of problems, including a truly grotesque Green Goblin design, a very unconvincing performance by Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, and a take on Electro (Jamie Foxx) that feels like it was lifted directly from Batman Forever. This film also tries so hard to set up an MCU-style Spider-Man universe that it wildly underperformed at the box office and led Sony Pictures to partner directly with Marvel Studios for the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man flicks.

10 best Spider-Man stories ever, ranked
Spider-Man sticks to a wall in a Marvel comic.

There's no rest for Marvel's famous web-slinger. Spider-Man is, perhaps, the most popular superhero across the entire pantheon of Marvel heroes. For decades, the spunky young hero has been pummeling criminals with both his fists and comical wit. He's moved from the pages of comic books to headline several TV series and blockbusting cinematic adventures. Spider-Man's presence in the pop culture fandom simply can't be understated. And with recent storyline innovations and animated adaptations like Across the Spider-Verse, Peter Parker is just one of countless wall-crawlers who dons the title. Each Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, or uh, Spider-Rex (that's right, there's a T-Rex with spider powers) has their own story and individual capabilities.

Whether we're viewing the world from the Peter Parker lens or any of his countless inter-dimensional compadres, there's a wealth of Spider-Man stories at our fingertips across multiple mediums. In our multimedia age, Spider-Man is everywhere and some of the best stories featuring the iconic hero aren't always within the pages of comic books. So, if you're looking for a Spider-Man story oozing with thrills, character-centric story arcs, and enthralling conflicts, look no further than our handy list featuring Spider-Man at his best.
