The demand is a good sign for cineplexes, which could use a major blockbuster to end 2021 on high note after yet another challenging pandemic year.
While 2021 produced several comparative successes — including “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” “F9: The Fast Saga” and Venom: Let There Be Carnage” — those films were blockbusters of the pandemic era, and could have been bigger if not for the health crisis.
But now “No Way Home,” which is being released by Sony , could more closely resemble a blockbuster from the pre-pandemic era.
And rumor has it some of those previous Spider-Man actors, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, could join current star Tom Holland in the new movie.
