The three-minute-long teaser, released by Marvel and Sony on Aug. 24, took over the internet after the iconic villains of Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” films with Tobey Maguire were teased, namely Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” will be released in theaters on Dec. 17 and will be the last Marvel film for this year. A month prior, Chloe Zhao’s “Eternals” will be released.
The Russo brothers are known for directing critically acclaimed films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including “Avengers: Endgame,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
Outside of the last two “Avengers” films, the directors have also worked with Holland in the movie “Cherry,” which they describe as their “most personal film” yet. /ra
