On Sunday, Sony had been on its toes in an attempt to take down what appeared to be a leaked trailer for its highly anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The upcoming superhero installment has been trending on the micro-blogging site since some users shared what appeared to be the trailer, others however, spent their time trolling Sony and warning the alleged leaker.
Sony did not immediately respond to a request for a comment from the aforementioned publication.
Some tweets sharing the video of the alleged trailer were also taken down with users being subjected to a copyright statement. “The media has been disabled in response to a report from the copyright owner,” a message read. The outlet, upon viewing the alleged leak, also dubbed the contents of the trailer legitimate but refused to share specifics, keeping in line with the ethics of reporting.
The studio, however, has been in a whack-a-mole situation, according to the news report, since the blocking of one video from a Twitter handle would prompt the posting of it from another. Spider-Man fans have been chomping at the first look of No Way Home since rumors swirled about who will appear from the previous Spider-Man films.
According to the BGR, the film will see a multiverse. The outlet alleges that Marvel is having a hard time trying to deny leaks, and an even harder time trying to convince fans that it won’t be a multiverse, since many have claimed they saw Loki in the unauthorized leak. The outlet also promises that No Way Home will feature villains from all of Sony’s old Spider-Man films, including Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), who had confirmed that he will be reprising the role from the Sam Raimi films. He had also detailed how his character will return to life.
Many have also alleged that both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will play their respective Spider-Man versions, since you can’t bring back the villains from other Spider-Man films without also restoring the heroes. But there are no guarantees for either one of these spoilers.
According to another Spidey-centric leak by Games Radar, a recent photo from the set of the film shows Doctor Strange meeting up with Holland’s Peter Parker. That crossover has been backed up by a series of No Way Home merchandise, which feature Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sorcerer Supreme and Wong (Benedict Wong) in the Sanctum Santorum with the webhead.
Spider–Man: No Way Home is currently slated to arrive in theaters in December 17.
