Are Electro and Sandman ghosts or from another dimension? Why is Doctor Strange acting weird? And who is the sixth member of the Sinister Six? The newly released
trailer is tantalisingly full of clues
Trying to guess the plot of a movie from the trailer is always a pointless exercise, especially given modern studios’ propensity for cheating. These days, there’s every chance that promo material will feature footage that doesn’t end up making it into the final movie … a situation further complicated by the smoke and mirrors regularly employed by reality-bending Marvel superheroes such as Doctor Strange.
Even so, there is so much to unpick in the new trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home that it’s worth suspending our disbelief all over again. Have the audio and video been edited to avoid giving too much away? Probably. Are there characters shown behaving in ways that will look different when given their final context? Almost certainly. Are the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield versions of Spidey being cunningly hidden from view? It is certainly starting to look like it.
