Valencia Effelina Marthen (35/XII MIPA 1) Synopsis “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is an American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character. This film is a sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and SpiderMan: Far From Home (2019), and is the 27th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This film, directed by Jon Watts, tells the story of Peter Parker's secret identity which is revealed to the whole world. As a result of Mysterio's actions at the end of the previous sequel, everyone now knows that Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is Spider-Man. As a result, Peter's normal life was greatly disrupted. Desperate for help, Peter finally enlists the help of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to make the world forget that he is Spider-Man with the help of magic. This effort actually had bad consequences because the spell used actually damaged the multiverse, opening the door to other universes and bringing in many terrible villains who could destroy the universe that Parker inhabited.

Despite its shortcomings, Spider-Man: No Way Home remains a thrilling and entertaining film for fans.
