We.ve seen quite a few exciting Spider-Man: No Way Home leaks in the past few weeks, as people with access to the movie footage posted screenshots and clips online. Sony filed copyright notices against various images, practically confirming they’re authentic in the process. By attempting to remove the photos from the internet, Sony told us that the biggest No Way Home leak is accurate. TobeyMaguire and Andrew Garfield will be playing alternate Spider-Man characters in the film. They will appear in the MCU. Spider-Man multiverse action will also feature Doctor Strange, it is certain.
The same leaks also gave us a look at various Sinister Six villains who weren’t clearly shown in the first trailer. Unsurprisingly, the leaks say the Spider-Man villains from Sony’s older movies will join forces in No Way Home. But it’s not just the villains fighting against the heroes in No Way Home. We were already shown in the trailer that the two main characters might not always agree with each other, so we now have a glimpse of an Avenger vs. Avenger fight. A new leak now details that fight, but we’ll warn you that massive spoilers follow below.
Not all spoilers are equal
It’s one thing to know that No Way Home will be a Spiderverse film, and quite another to see more detailed plot elements. Most people interested in No Way Home are aware of the Maguire and Garfield rumors. Whether they like it or not, the biggest No Way Home secret out there hasn’t been a secret for quite some time. That’s why the leaks confirming the previous Spider-Man actors will return to their Peter Parker roles are hardly spoilers. Sony and Marvel are even rumored to feature the three Spider-Men in the next No Way Home trailer.
However, the details surrounding this Avenger-vs. Avenger battle is something entirely different. From the trailer, we know that Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), will want to help Peter hide from the world his identity. Even though the spell he uses can be very dangerous. Doctor Strange will chase Spider-Man after he robs a wizard of something.
The MCU is full of fun moments that see Avengers take on their fellow members. This trailer shows us what happens in the first trailer. It also shows us that Doctor Strange will do whatever it takes to catch Peter. Before we tell you what happens in that fight, however, we’ll remind you again that plot spoilers follow below.
How Doctor Strange defeats Spider-Man
Peter Parker, of course, has his Spidey senses on hand. Spider-Man is a very powerful antagonist. The new leak reveals how Doctor Strange defeated Spider-Man. The fact that Strange will win this version of the fight isn’t exactly a secret. Like many MCU trailers, this trailer is misleading. But we do see a scene where Strange stops Spider-Man, pushing Peter’s astral projection out of his body. We’ve seen this happen to Strange in Doctor Strange and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) in Endgame.
But The Cosmic Circus has learned how Strange prevails.
Peter is following the magician to retrieve the cube Spidey is holding in this scene. That cube appeared in some No Way Home plot spoilers, and some MCU fans might know what it’s aboutThis is the cloak. The blog teases that the cube is “actually original to the MCU and not something that has been seen in Marvel Comics before.”
The Cosmic Circus says that Strange will use the Cloak of Levitation to stop Spider-Man during the chase. This means we’ll see Peter Parker wearing the cloak, just like what we saw a few weeks ago in What If…?. In that episode, the cloak came to Peter’s rescue, helping the Avengers fight against the zombie Avengers. In No Way Home, however, the cloak will help Strange capture Peter. That’s assuming that Sony and Marvel did not create the Doctor Strange vs. Spider-Man scene above just for the trailer to mislead.
Spider-Man: No Way Home will premiere in theaters on December 17th.
