The first reactions to Spider-Man: No Way Home are in following the film’s world premiere.
On Monday (13 December), the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie was unveiled in Hollywood, with spoiler-free reactions rolling in on social media soon after.
There has been a particular sense of excitement surrounding this release due to the secretive nature of its production.
After it was revealed that several non-MCU characters from previous Spider-Man films would be in the film (including Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Electro), many assumed that former Spider-Man actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would show up in some form.
While that detail is still unknown, it has been revealed that fans are extremely happy with the outcome of the film, which sees Tom Holland return as the web-slinger alongside Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange.
Journalist Scott Menzel called No Way Home “the best Marvel movie of all time”, adding that “fans of the web-slinger will absolutely lose their minds when they see this”.
Tessa Smith wrote: “Spider-Man: No Way Home didn’t meet my expectations, it EXCEEDED them. This movie is worth every excruciating moment we had to wait!”
“It’s hard to imagine topping this one,” Brandon Davis stated. “Like, genuinely, hard to imagine getting more than this movie gives you as a #SpiderMan fan.”
Drew Taylor said the film has not been ruined by all the rumoured leaks that have surfaced over the past year.
“Even if you’ve been following along with every leak, there are plenty of surprises,” he wrote, adding: “And the biggest shock is how emotional it ends up being.”
Spider-Man: No Way Home is released in cinemas on Wednesday (15 December).
