Put away those shaky, obviously booted from a malcontent’s cellular telephone trailers of Spider-Man: No Way Home that briefly made the rounds throughout internet land yesterday like a wave of dysentery at an open buffet. Yep, you know what we’re talking about: A very low-quality trailer sans most bells and whistles of Spidey’s latest cinematic outing was bootlegged onto social media before Sony, the film’s studio, put a beat down on the ragamuffins that snuck the brief snippets out in the first place. In a clever bit of one-upmanship, the studio then gave the big old middle finger to basement dwelling, mouth-breathing hackers worldwide by releasing a pristine print of aforementioned trailer at CinemaCon a mere twenty-four hours after the initial leak.
Revealed at CinemaCon alongside that controversial teaser for Spider-Man: No Way Home yesterday by Sony were trailers for other movies that fans are apoplectic to check out, including Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Bullet Train and Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
But, of course, it was Marvel’s famed Spider-Man that set tongues a’-waggin’ with that mind-bending, multiversal look at Peter Parker’s dalliance with some of the player’s from past iterations of that moneymaking franchise, including the likes of Willem Dafoe and Alfred Mollina, begging the Million Dollar Question – Can Maguire and Garfield be too far behind?
Sony Big Wheel – and President – Tom Rothman introduced the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, saying that “It deserves to be seen in the high-quality finished form in which it was made.”
And what a teaser trailer it is, True Believers! Filled with the subtle deadpan humor, widescreen eye candy and flowing endorphins that all Marvelites have come to expect from the Marvel film brand, this is indeed a movie that looks worthy of getting excited about: Not only does it elaborate even more on the crazy life of Peter Parker and his alter-ego of Spider-Man, it also rips the doors off what we know to be the MCU, making almost any storyline possible as the lines between one movie version of a character and another or completely blurred. Excited? You ought to be! Tip of the ol’ Mile High Collection hat to our buddies over at The Hollywood Reporter for providing us with this vastly improved and legit trailer!
Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to swing into neighborhoods worldwide on December 17. Check out the legal and Stan Lee/Steve Ditko approved trailer right here to whet your ever-lovin’ appetite! Excelsior!
