Top 5 Amazing Details In Spider-Man: No Way Home Trailer 2
#5: Did Green Goblin Just Make Us See Double?
After the first trailer just featured Willem Dafoe’s maniacal laugh and a familiar looking bomb, the second preview fully confirmed that Green Goblin would appear. The villain seems to be wearing the same costume he had back in the 2002 “Spider-Man” movie. But if Norman’s still rocking that classic suit, we have to wonder about the other Goblin we saw. In a blink-and-you’ll miss it moment, we saw a man with a hoodie and sharp glowing green projectiles riding a glider. We somehow doubt Norman is changing outfits mid-battle. However, there are other goblins out there. Although Harry Osborn didn’t have a hoodie or quite the same glider in “Spider-Man 3”, he did use similar looking projectiles. Maybe he’s the mystery man flying around the trailer. And even if he isn’t, the MCU’s Peter should prepare to meet more than one goblin.
#4: J. Jonah Jameson’s Back In the Field
The first Spider-Man: Far From Home” post credit scene famously brought J Jonah Jameson into the MCU. Now that he's part of this universe, it looks like he’s going to put himself in the middle of the action. During a hectic sequence, Jameson can be spotted looking up at what looks like either a bad guy or his favorite enemy, Spider-Man. This glimpse at the media mogul’s future is also a nod to his cinematic past. In “Spider-Man 3”, Sandman and Venom set a trap for Peter Parker. J. Jonah Jameson eventually arrives at the scene to witness the melee. Upon realizing he doesn’t have a camera on him, he’s forced to buy one from a kid...who immediately scams him. We hope Jameson is much more prepared to take photos in “No Way Home”.
#3: Doc Ock Looks Like the Enemy of Peter’s Enemies
We initially believed that Otto Octavius would be just another one of the many super villains that Peter would have to deal with. However, he seems to have more noble motivations. The villainous Electro appears to attack Doc Ock during a climactic battle. Otto is also seen talking to Peter and his allies calmly a couple of times during the trailer. Although Peter and his friends make fun of his name, Doc Ock still seems to be on their side. When we last saw this version of Doc Ock, Peter convinced him to renounce his evil ways. Otto proceeded to give up his life to save the people of New York City. If this Doc Ock remembers his last moments, he may be working with Holland’s Peter as a way of making amends for the rest of his wicked deeds.
#2: An Amazing Save
No matter what danger Peter faces in the preview, his girlfriend MJ is ready and willing to help him face the next threat. But there is a moment where her loyalty seems to be her literal downfall. When the scaffolding MJ is standing on crumbles, she’s sent hurtling towards the ground. Spider-Man’s hand comes extremely close to hers before the screen cuts to black. Seeing MJ fall gave us bad flashbacks to “Amazing Spider-Man 2”. During that film, Garfield’s Peter Parker watches his love interest Gwen fall from a great height. Although he tries to save her with a web, she ultimately perishes. While Holland’s Peter may coincidentally be trying to save MJ in a different way, there is another possibility here. If the rumors are true and Garfield’s Spider-Man shows up in “No Way Home”, maybe he’s the one diving to save MJ instead of using webs. Marvel’s been known to use CGI to hide the fact that certain characters would appear in future movies. It would be amazing if Garfield’s Peter got a second chance to save a falling character in the upcoming film.
#1: There’s Something Off About Doctor Strange’s Villain Claim
It was incredibly exciting to see how many villains are going to show up in the MCU in “No Way Home”. Outside of Green Goblin and Doc Ock, we know that Electro, the Sandman and the lizard will all antagonize Peter. It’s heavily hinted that all these villains arrived because they didn’t survive a battle with some version of the webhead. However, that isn’t the case for the antagonists we’re familiar with. The Lizard we saw in “The Amazing Spider-Man” was taken into custody at the end of the film. And Thomas Haden Church’s Sandman got away from both Spider-Man and police in “Spider-Man 3”s conclusion. Since these two rogues survived their bouts with the webhead, there are a couple of possibilities. Either Dr. Strange is wrong about why a few villains showed up or the versions of Sandman and Lizard aren’t the ones we’ve seen on screen before. Whether these two antagonists are new or not, they clearly have a score to settle with Peter. The question of why these sinister foes have assembled will only be answered when this long-awaited movie swings into theaters.
