'Spider-Man: No Way Home' breaks 'Avengers: Endgame' record

Spider-Man has taken the lead from Avengers: Endgame. Yes, you read that right! The trailer for the third installment in MCU’s Spider-Man series, No Way Home, raked in an incredible 355.5 million global views in its first 24 hours of release, reported Deadline.

Avengers: Endgame’s record stands at 289 million views. This feat makes the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer the most-watched trailer in the world. In comparison, the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer received 135 million views within 24 hours.

No Way Home marks the return of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, who is struggling with the new normal of having his secret identity exposed to the world by Jake Gyllenhaal’s supervillain Mysterio (just before his death) and JK Simmons’ J Jonah Jameson.

Fortunately, Peter has the support of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) this time. The trailer shows him trying out a dangerous spell in an attempt to make the world forget Spider-Man’s true identity.

The spell goes wrong and rips open the multiverse. “For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man,” reads the film’s official synopsis.

Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, J B Smoove and Benedict Wong return from previous films as well. Director Jon Watts and screenwriters, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers make a comeback in the third film in the Spider-Man series as well. Spider-Man: No Way Home will release on December 17.
