10 Genuine Concerns About Spider-Man: No Way Home

Again, No Way Home is by far the most anticipated blockbuster release since Avengers: Endgame almost three years ago, which combined with a vague-yet-tantalising marketing campaign, holiday season release, and many exciting rumours about what might go down, forms the perfect storm for hype overload.

While it's relatively unlikely that No Way Home pulls a Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and is a crushing disappointment, what if it scores a perfectly acceptable yet totally unremarkable 60-65% on the Tomatometer?

Many fans already have the movie mapped out in their own minds, such that if it falls short of their ideas of what No Way Home should be, there's going to be an intense hype backlash.

It's entirely possible Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield aren't in the film for more than a mere cameo, and that the multiverse villains are even a much smaller piece of the puzzle than expected.

Given the MCU's rather so-so cinematic output post-Endgame, and No Way Home's status as the next film to "save" theatrical cinema, there's a hell of a lot riding on it being both a critical and commercial smash.

The best thing you can do is just take a step back and accept the very real possibility that No Way Home ends up being a pretty good but flawed movie, rather than convincing yourself it must be great at all costs.
