The bizarre events in WandaVision are fuelling speculation that Tom Holland’s Spidey will be a long way from
New York in his next big-screen outing
The titles of Spider-Man movies have not traditionally told us a whole lot about their storylines. It wasn’t until Marvel took over the franchise with Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) that we even got so much as a hint of what was about to take place in each forthcoming instalment. And yet this week’s announcement that Tom Holland’s third solo outing as the teenage superhero will be called Spider-Man: No Way Home has got the geekosphere buzzing.
Perhaps it’s because there are so many clues out there already that the next film in the series will go way off the beaten track. On the big screen, Spider-Man has always existed largely in his own New York back yard, bar the odd jaunt into outer space in the Avengers movies and his holiday to Europe in Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019). But, taken together with reports that the new film will delve deeply into the Marvel multiverse, along with the bizarre goings-on in the Disney+ TV series WandaVision, there’s a sense that it might be a while before we see Peter Parker hanging with Aunt May in Queens any time soon.
