Everything You Missed From ‘No Way Home’ [SPOILERS AHEAD]
Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters this week and already fans are thrilled by the film. A culmination of the adventures of Peter Parker thus far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this film is very much an epic in its own right while being a very Spider-Man experience for the ages. The movie is jam-packed with all sorts of Easter eggs, cameos, and goodies beyond one’s wildest dreams. It may be easy to forget just happened in such an epic movie. Well, here is everything that one might have missed in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
SPOILERS AHEAD...

The Sinister…Five
Not hard to spot since they have been in previous Spider-Man films, but several classic Spider Man villains have appeared in No Way Home. We also know about them from the trailer and other media prior to the movie release.

Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Electro, Lizard, Sandman are all are classic villains for the webslinger to fight. However, what makes this appearance quite fascinating and fun is that the villains are being played by the original actors who portrayed them in the previous films: Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Jamie Foxx, Thomas Haden Church, and Rhys Ifans. It is a real treat to see the former Spidey legacies come back for one more round of villainous fun, and take on the webslinger, a common enemy shared by all these devilish threats.
J. Jonah Jameson
The honest voice of J. Jonah Jameson once again blasts through the MCU, bringing the tough but fair journalism that made his career in the comics. Well, that and mostly saying that Spider-Man is a menace to society that must be stopped and destroyed at all costs. But still. TOUGH but FAIR! For that is the J. Jonah way…kinda.
What makes this fun is the fact that an old face returns once again. J. K. Simmons himself reprises the role after over a decade since the first Raimi Spider-Man films. It a return of a great actor and great character.
The Mysterious Legacy of Mysterio
Mysterio might be dead since Far From Home, but boy does his legacy live on. In the background of many scenes you can hear people talking about how Mysterio was right. Many still believe Peter killed him and thus are against him throughout the whole film. You may miss it because it is in the background but the legacy of Mysterio remains intact throughout a good chunk of the film.
A Very Good Lawyer
The Daredevil has returned.
Or in this case Matt Murdock, the daily identity of the nighttime superhero. In the film, he appears to help get Peter Parker out of the murder charges in the death of Mysterio. While his scene is short and sweet, it is good to see this little snippet of MCU lore coming into play within Spider-Man.
Historically, Spider-Man and Daredevil are good friends in the comics, working against the Kingpin himself, Wilson Fisk. Both heroes have tangled with this common enemy before, and we may soon see them join forces against him in future movies.
Okay so the last one is a pretty big spoiler so if you wanna stop reading, dodge now.
Okay...
Ready...
Here we go...

The Spider-Men
Yep, that is right…Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire are in Spider-Man: No Way Home. This rumor had been going on for years, but when it happened, everyone in my theater was elated. The first and second Spider-Man coming to help out the last one is astonishing.
It is amazing to see the two previous Spider-Man come back after so many years, both helping Peter defeat the villains as well as get a bit of closure of their own as well.
But that’s all I’ll say for now. Go see the movie to find out a bit more
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a celebration of more than twenty years of Spider-Man in cinema.
Go see it, you won't regret it.
