Your Spidey senses are tingling!
We know, Mysterio revealing Peter Parker as New York’s friendly neighborhood superhero in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” feels like eons ago after a rather uneventful 2020 for Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films. But things are about to get wild this time with the coming of the third, and probably the last, film of “Spider-Man” franchise headlined by actor Tom Holland.
Last August, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures gave a first glimpse of the newest adventure of the young Avenger, and it featured many familiar faces from “Spider-Man” movies past. The latest installment follows the last events of “Far From Home,” and presents Peter’s life after his secret identity has been publicized. He now seeks Doctor Strange’s help in changing the reality to keep Spider-Man’s alter ego in the dark, but it comes with unintended consequences.

Rumored castings
While the coming of Spider-Man’s foes from past films tickled the minds of fans about actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who had portrayed the masked hero, joining the film, Tom sets the record straight saying to Total Film, “People don’t believe me when I say that are not coming back... But people are going to have to believe me at some point." Andrew also told Entertainment Tonight that he “closed the book” about donning the blue-red costume.

According to Sony Pictures, in the new movie, directed by Jon Watts and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, “for the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a superhero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.”
