Spider-Man No Way Home stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker and picks up where Spider-Man Far From Home left off. At the end of that film, J Jonah Jameson (J.K Simmons) has accused Spider-Man of killing the ‘heroic’ Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal), in cold blood. And Jonah has revealed Spider-Man’s secret identity. Naturally, this has thrown Peter’s life into complete chaos that has also engulfed his girlfriend M.J (Zendaya), his best friend, Ned (Jacob Battalon), and his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei).
The chaos that ensues from Peter’s identity being exposed costs Peter, M.J, and Ned their shot at going to M.I.T and perhaps college entirely; no college seems eager to bring them to their campus. There are also legal complications which require a lawyer, though I refuse to spoil the special appearance of a cameoing lawyer. All of this sets up Peter’s desperation and the reason why he goes to see Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). Peter asks the famed sorcerer if it were possible to make people forget that he is Spider-Man and it turns out that that is possible.
