Watch the dramatic new ‘Spider-Man’ trailer as fan-favourites return

The new trailer for the upcoming ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ film has arrived – watch it below.

The dramatic trailer follows on from the first and sees Peter Parker struggling to deal with the unveiling of his identity.

Fan-favourites return in the trailer, including Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Willem Defoe’s Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx as Electro.

Lizard and Sandman were also seen, but it’s not yet clear if Rhys Ifans and Thomas Haden Church have formally returned to their roles, or whether they are contributing voices.

This trailer is far darker than the first, with scenes where Parker can be seen disagreeing with Benedict Cumberbatch’s Dr. Strange about the best way to deal with “visitors” from other universes.

There has been intense speculation that other Spider-Man characters from the series would re-appear in this film – specifically Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire.

Despite both saying they wouldn’t be returning, the multiverse structure of the film has nonetheless led to intense rumours that the two will return.

Tom Holland has recently called ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ “dark” and “brutal”, saying it is “not fun” to watch.

“What people will be really surprised about is that it’s not fun, this film,” Holland told Total Film. “It’s dark and it’s sad, and it’s going to be really affecting.”

He added: “You’re going to see characters that you love go through things that you would never wish for them to go through. And I was just really excited to kind of lean into that side of Peter Parker.

“Peter Parker is always someone who’s looking up. He’s always really positive. He’s always like, ‘I can fix this. I can do this.’ Whereas in this film, he feels like he’s met his match. He’s like, ‘I don’t know what to do.’ That was an aspect of the character that I’d never seen before, and I was really, really excited to try to tackle.”

The actor went on to say he hasn’t watched the film yet, but called it “the best ‘Spider-Man’ film that we’ve ever made”. He added: “I really don’t think fans are at all ready for what they’ve put together. I know that I’m not ready, and I know that it’s going to be brutal.”

‘Spider-Man: No Way From Home’ will be released in cinemas on December 17.
