Spider-Man 3 Has a Title & It Doesn’t Sound Very Optimistic

Spider-Man has gotten himself trapped somewhere in the multiverse, and judging from this title he may not make it back.

Yesterday the cast – Tom Holland (Peter Parker), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), and Zendaya (Mary Jane Watson) – threw out a bunch of comical red herrings along with a first looks at the next movie.

Phone Home?

Nah… that can’t be it. This isn’t an E.T. sequel. Home Wrecker?

This isn’t part of the Hangover franchise. Home Slice?

That’s pretty retro, by not nearly depressing enough…

No Way Home, it is.

While Marvel hasn’t released information about the plot, it looks like they are putting out some hints. The whiteboard has a bunch of hexes on it (spoiler warning) that might tie into WandaVision and there are some bits and pieces that point toward some sort of scientist(s) and other parts of the Marvel universe we’ve seen before. There’s a neuron, a diagram of a planetary system, what looks like a cell with a nucleus, some representations of quantum physics concepts.

Far From Home introduced the multiverse. I’m betting he’s going to be stuck on another plane in this one. Doctor Strange is reported to be taking over Tony Stark’s role as a mentor in No Way Home, which makes that more plausible (the title of the next Doctor Strange movie). Add that to the rumors about Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire, Alfred Molina, and Jamie Foxx joining the cast and you’ve got what could be a slide through time and universes.

Where do you think phase four is going? Everything is pointing toward the multiverse and the weird occult magic realm of the comic book universe. The Infinity Saga was as much Tony Stark’s story as Thanos’s, this looks to be Stephen Strange’s story – but who is the big bad?

Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theaters in December.
