The only movie to have done better in recent times is its spiritual predecessor Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The movie took a massive 85% of this weeks North American box office total taking, and it is already 3rd top movie of 2022.

This gives the movie a total North American gross of just $86 Million after 4 weeks of release, and with the movie being considered a flop the question must be asked as to the continuation of the series, it was supposed to be a 5 movie series!
The movie is the 7th top film of 2022 so far.

The trailer is just bonkers, and were not too sure what is happening, but you just have to see this and then hope that July 15th comes quicker than normal, simply put, we can't wait to see this movie!

Sony and Marvel have released a new, much anticipated, trailer for the new Spider-Man movie, and it has plenty of multiverse villains, but only one Spider-Man!

The trailer gives more hints to the story, but still leaves many, many question to what is going on.
It looks like there is still only one Spider-Man in the trailer, although there are many quick shots where its hard to see what is happening, but what is clear is Doctor Octopus played by Alfred Molina plays a large part in the movie.
We also get to see Jamie Foxx and Thomas Haden Church as Electro and Sand Man, but although we get a clearer picture of Green Goblin its not revealed who is playing the villain.
There are many many hints about universes coming together, and if Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield are not in the movie then if nothing else its a missed opportunity.
The end shot of the trailer which features Spider-Man and Zendaya's character MJ in a life and death situation is very reminiscent of the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which starred Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is released in the UK on 15th December 2021 and in the US on 17th December.
