Spider-Man: No Way Home - Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

1. Peter Parker

Tom Holland has made for a great Peter Parker and a great Spider-Man since he first turned up in Captain America: Civil War.

In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Holland delivered his absolutely best turn as Parker to date. This was a more complex Peter than seen previously, with the emotional upset of losing a loved one channelled into rage and vengeance - all delivered exceptionally by 25-year-old.

Peter has lost people before, but never such a high profile person in his life to outright murder. While the MCU's Wall-crawler is often a fairly cheery figure with a positive outlook and a quip to hand, No Way Home allowed for a darker, brooding side of Parker to emerge.

Now completely alone in the world, it's fascinating to ponder what's next for Peter Parker - particularly with an active symbiote now lurking somewhere within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
