From Raimi to Watts. Who are Spider-Man's enemies in No Way Home? if(typeof __ez_fad_position != 'undefined'){__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-alchimy_info-box-3-0')};<

Spider-Man: No Way Home will be the first true big-screen opening of the multiverse concept within the MCU. The appearance of familiar antagonists from other Spider-Man films will evoke nostalgia for some, while others may be a little puzzled. Let's remember who we are dealing with.

It's hard to find a Spider-Man-like character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who's been given so many on-screen incarnations. In 2002 Sam Raimi stepped behind the camera in the first major Spider-Man show and Peter Parker was cast as Tobey Maguire. The trilogy ended in 2007 with the movie Spider-Man 3, which unfortunately resulted in a conflict between the director and the studio, which not only affected the quality itself, but ultimately interrupted the work. on the fourth part. However, Sony had to continue the adventures of Spider-Man on screen years later, or risk seeing the rights to the character revert to Marvel. In 2012, they released The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield directed by Marc Webb, which received solid reception but no revelations. The film earned less than the first Spider-Man Raimi himself, but enough that it was decided to try again in 2014. even decides to use the famous comic book event that is the death of Gwen Stacy.

The third part was never made. Andrew Garfield later recalled that the collaboration with the studio was not going well, while the drop in box office for the first installment was not encouraging. Amy Pascal, the head of Sony at the time, decided to take the final step, fraternizing with Marvel Studios and somehow putting the character in the hands of Kevin Feige and his collaborators. For the first time on the big screen, Spider-Man will be able to rub shoulders with the emblematic heroes of Marvel, fight alongside Iron Man and face Captain America in… The War of the Heroes. The Russo Brothers only needed one scene to momentarily introduce Tom Holland and his Peter Parker into this world. The deal also included solo Spider-Man films, which were promoted by Sony's studio. In 2017, the films debuted on screens Spider-Man: Homecoming directed by Jon Watts, which was a completely different and more modern take on the character of Spider-Man. The production was warmly received, Tom Holland was hailed by many as the best Spider-Man, and there was no shortage of expansion projects. In 2019, the character took another major step, setting foot outside of New York in a production. Spider-Man: Far From Home. The trip through Europe ended with a fight against Mysterio in London, and the latter uploaded a video to the web claiming to have been killed not by his own drone, but in fact by Spider-Man. It also revealed the hero's identity, which came as a huge shock to the audience sitting in the movie theater. A great movie is followed by a cliffhanger, which in itself creates huge excitement ahead of the third installment.

August 2019 – Shocking news emerges: Sony's deal with Marvel Studios has come to an end, meaning Spider-Man is no longer part of the MCU. As fans eagerly awaited story solutions for the third installment, studios couldn't agree on financial matters. Many still believe today that it was a marketing ploy to show that the big companies are ready to do anything for the fans, because they finally managed to strike a deal for this. extra movie (at least, that's the official version for now) and some guest appearances. It's hard to imagine how Spider-Man: No Way Home would have looked without the involvement of Doctor Strange, who played an important role and wouldn't have been there without the re-signature. However, it wasn't Strange's presence that electrified fans, but the ever-present reports of the multiverse concept and the possibility of two earlier Spider-Men appearing onscreen. The internet went crazy, people started looking for pictures of Maguire and trying to prove that he was appearing on set in the production. Could he really have returned to comedy and resumed his iconic role? Not everyone could believe it, but the involvement of Garfield, who disagreed with Sony, seemed even less likely. Still, there's plenty of evidence that this is indeed going to happen….. Yet even with less than two weeks to go, no one has officially confirmed it yet. However, if the enemies are played by the same actors as in the previous two series, perhaps fans need not worry?

We've been treated to seven Spider-Man movies so far. Maguire's Parker battled for three films with antagonists such as Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman, while Garfield's Parker battled with the Lizard, also Green Goblin, and Electro. After the first Jamie Foxx began to suggest his participation, then Alfred Molina Without detour, there is no doubt that the circle of the multiverse has come full circle and the Holland trilogy that the Sony studio wanted to complete in the greatest possible way. On screen, if we are to believe the trailers, we will find all the characters above (except for the Green Goblin, who was the subject of a film on the theme of childhood ). TASM). Assuming, of course, that the MCU's multiverse concept manages to bring up the very incarnations that audiences have seen in previous films. After all, not every character depicted survived their encounter with the spiders, as Strange even mentions in one of the trailers. It is possible that we are dealing with variations of these characters, and that the choice of the same actors is only a flavor for the spectators who remember their performances.

The fans who grew up with the movies starring Maguire are now in their 25s and 35s. It is therefore easy to imagine that all the members of this group are not yet fans of superhero cinema. Perhaps the majority, driven by nostalgia, will buy a ticket and want to see Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin from Raimi's films back on the big screen, hoping for an appearance from their Peter Parker who started it all. It also has its The Amazing Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield fans, and the two films in the series aren't far apart in time and the recognition of the antagonists might be greater assuming most potential viewers have seen them. No Way Home. So it's important to know how the antagonists are presented in the film itself, which can elicit different reactions – if they're different variants, there can be a feeling of unease, and if it's are exactly the same versions, the explanation for their presence must be plausible. Perhaps the creators are brave and confident that fans are already so culturally competent that a character can be summed up in one sentence, or even that it is not necessary to say anything. precise, just enough to show it. However, if you feel the need to reminisce or get acquainted with the antagonists that appear in large numbers in the trailer, we can't wait to help. Remember. Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theaters on December 17, 2021.

One of Spider-Man's most important enemies, Norman Osborn and his alter ego the Green Goblin. Osborn is the founder of Oscorp, the company that researches a new super-soldier formula in the 2002 film. One of the top scientists warns his boss that the formula isn't stable, while a US Army General threatens Osborn to withdraw all military funding from them if things don't change. In a desperate move, Norman exposes himself to the serum, thus achieving his first human experience. Through this, he gains superhuman strength and agility, but he also descends into madness and kills his scientist immediately after leaving the tank. When he wakes up, he has no memory of the events of the previous night. Sam Raimi approached Osborn's plot in a psychological, sometimes very dark way. Norman hears a voice in his head. He doesn't really know what's going on. Oscorp's failure determines his next success, but the events that follow deepen Norman's anger and there is no doubt that at this point he has a split personality - a confused man and a murderer who will soon become the villain. known as the Green Goblin.

A first confrontation with Spider-Man takes place during Oscorp's Unity Day, but the superhero saves the day. Norman is manipulated by his evil side. He soon attacked the editorial staff of the Daily Bugle. Other clashes with Spider-Man also take place. We are witnessing Norman's slow decline, which is destroying relations with those close to him. Soon after, we witness the final showdown with Spider-Man. An attempt to kill Spider-Man fails, and the blade attached to his glider pierces Green Goblin. Before dying, the hero asks that his son Harry never learn of his father's misdeeds. Peter keeps his promise, of course, but Harry will long blame Spider-Man for the death.

In summary :

DOCTOR OCTOPUS (Alfred Molina)

For many viewers Spider-Man 2 is one of the best superhero movies ever made. The lack of a Spider-Man genesis was definitely a plus, allowing for a focus on action and character development. This was complemented by the use of Doctor Octopus, played very effectively by Alfred Molina. Its tentacles (supported by animators in green suits) or its confrontations on the skyscrapers of New York or on the roof of a train are still impressive.

Otto devotes his life to research (conducted jointly with his wife) at Oscorp under the direction of his new boss, Harry Osborn. To carry out his risky experiment, Octavius ​​developed special arms guided by artificial intelligence, which are additionally immune to temperature and magnetic fields. During the experiment, an overload occurs and the machine becomes unstable, but Otto does not stop his research. As a result, his wife dies, while her mechanical arms, guided by an artificial intelligence, are modified - he takes full control of them, and the mechanism merges with his spine. Octavius' failed experiment drives Oscorp into bankruptcy, angering Harry further. Otto seeks to reactivate the experiment, while the tentacles begin to slowly destroy the spirit of the antagonist, which still has good in him. To finance his experiments, Doc Ock tries to rob a bank where Peter Parker and his aunt May are. Earlier, Parker had made the decision to give up superheroism. However, the fight against the octopus reminds him that with great power comes great responsibility. The hero returns to work.

Spider-Man finds Doctor Octopus in an abandoned warehouse on the waterfront, where he has restarted his nuclear fusion experiment. After battling Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man manages to knock the hero out with electrocution, causing his mind to return to normal. Peter takes off his mask and begs him to stop the experiment. Having become himself again, Otto decides to use his mechanical arms to collapse the floor of the building, which breaks the device, but at the cost of his life.

Spider-Man 3 had a few good moments, but the desire to capitalize on the character of Venom really ruined the project. The most interesting thing the studio failed to spoil was the Sandman plot, which was also morally ambiguous, much like Spider-Man's early enemies.

For Flint, Marko had a sick daughter and wanted to heal her, regardless of the consequences. His story is directly linked to that of Peter Parker. Marko and Dennis Carradine robbed the very place where the young hero won a wrestling match. During his escape, he wanted to use Ben Parker's car, but Ben Parker, with a big heart, tried to convince him that he didn't have to. Carradine however appears and hurriedly shoots Uncle Ben, who dies. Flint is captured by the police, but quickly escapes from prison. During his escape, he comes across a place where - how could it be otherwise - experiments were being carried out, which in turn turns his body into a giant sandstorm. Peter learns of the Sandman's involvement in Uncle Ben's death and plots revenge in his new black suit. At the end of the confrontation, Marko explains the truth to Parker and explains to him that he never wanted Ben dead. The hero forgives him and the Sandman changes shape and leaves.

YASZHUR (Rhys Ifans)

If you remember the animated series on Spider-Man, broadcast in France on Fox Kids, then the character of the Lizard is surely not indifferent to you. Dr. Curtis Connors, as the antagonist, opens the new Spider-Man series, but in a way it also continues the themes associated with previous enemies in Raimi's films. We have a good guy who turns into a Lizard as a result of his own experiments. Connors was a surgeon, but having lost an arm, he couldn't function as he wanted. Interested in the physiology of reptiles and fascinated by their ability to regenerate their limbs, he began research that eventually made him change his mind. Peter Parker does not have an easy task, he ends up fighting against his friend. Doctor Connors has always been a kind person to him. Spider-Man must ultimately try to defeat the Lizard and save his friend.

ELECTRO (Jamie Foxx)

Jamie Foxx is definitely an actor who could afford to do more when it comes to superhero cinema. Here, unfortunately, he was given a nerd character built from stereotypes to play. After his transformation into Electro, he was painted all blue - his look just left something to be desired, as he looked more like the movie antagonists Batman and Robin.

Max has always had a desire to be appreciated by those around him. He developed a plan for a new power grid, which was stolen from him. Max suppresses his anger towards his boss. After being saved by Spider-Man, he begins to believe in him. After transforming into Electro, he is initially confused, but then he is happy that people have started noticing him in his new form. He goes from a docile type to a brash and dangerous criminal. One of his targets is Spider-Man.
