After being left with quite the cliffhanger at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, the wait is finally over and Spider-Man: No Way Home is starting to hit cinemas across the globe.

Before going any further, it's only fair to say that this article contains major spoilers for No Way Home. If you've clicked on this out of curiosity without having actually watched this third picture to be based around Tom Holland's Wall-crawler, it's likely best advised to turn back now. For those of you who have seen No Way Home, please continue on.

Here, it's all about exploring the characters featured in No Way Home and assessing who were the best - or not so best - of the bunch. It's only the significant players who are included in this list, mind, but that's still a pretty hefty number of characters when looking across the two-and-a-half-hour run time of this latest Spidey offering.

Again, there are significant spoilers from here on out, so don't say you weren't warned.

With that in mind, then, here are the key faces of Spider-Man: No Way Home ranked from absolute worst to absolute best.

17. Flash Thompson

It's always kind of the point for Flash Thompson, but Tony Revolori's character was incredibly annoying in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Flash is supposed to be a total douchebag in these movies, and that was absolutely the case here. Proclaiming to be Peter Parker's best friend, the Thompson act was initially mildly amusing but then quickly became a little much.

Thankfully, Flash was rendered a total background player once No Way Home properly kicked into gear.
