Spider-Man: No Way Home has finally hit cinemas after what has felt like an eternity of waiting, and for the most part the ambitious superhero epic delivers on the promises of its multiversal concept.

Despite being the "finale" to the MCU's trilogy of Spider-Man movies, No Way Home leaves a lot up in the air, by way of hanging plot threads, unsolved mysteries, and the very future of the title character himself.

For the most part the unanswered questions are more enticing and intriguing than frustrating, thankfully, laying out exciting storytelling potential for the future with numerous enticing possibilities.

But in some cases, especially relating to characters and stories we're likely never going to see referenced again, it would've been satisfying to have a little more in the way of concrete answers.

Yet considering how impeccably No Way Home delivered jaw-dropping fan service, it's tough to feel too short-changed by these lingering questions, some of which will at least be answered in due course.

It's self-evident that MAJOR SPOILERS for the film will follow, so proceed with caution if you haven't yet seen No Way Home for yourself...

10. Who Were The Figures In The Multiverse Rift?

In No Way Home's climax, Doctor Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) job is to essentially hold the multiversal rift together with his powers and prevent any more malevolent entities from breaching this universe, all while the three Spider-Men are taking on the classic villains that made it through.

We never get a totally clear glimpse at exactly who Strange is keeping at bay, though from a single viewing of the film some of the vague, silhouetted figures appear to resemble Kraven the Hunter, Rhino, and Black Cat.

Given that director Jon Watts considered featuring Kraven in the film at one point, it makes sense that he'd include him and some of his other preferred supervillains in Easter egg form in this sequence.

Considering the many faint outlines we can see within the rift during the scene, there's likely to be a bunch of classic Spider-Man villains hidden in plain sight.

Needless to say, we can't wait to break it down frame-by-frame the moment the movie is out on digital.
