The Cast of Spider-Man: No Way Home Is Shaping Up to Be a Major Marvel Crossover Event

Following 2019's deal between Marvel and Sony, Holland's version of Peter Parker will continue to sling his webs in the Marvel universe for now, returning to headline his third solo film.

For the third film in the Spider-Man series, the "mentor" role previously filled by Tony Stark will be taken over by Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange. He'll appear in this movie ahead of his own sequel, 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Zendaya is back for the third movie as Michelle Jones, aka "MJ," Peter's classmate and love interest.

It wouldn't be Spider-Man without Aunt May, and Tomei is reprising her version of the character for the upcoming third movie.

Loyal BFF Ned has been right at Peter's side throughout the whole adventure so far, so it's no surprise that Batalon's character is in the upcoming third film.

Revolori has had a supporting role as Peter's classmate and rival Flash through the first two movies, but longtime fans know he has a complicated fate awaiting him if the movies follow his arc from the comics.

Back in October, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Foxx would be reprising his role as Electro. The mechanics of Foxx's return are still unclear since he was last seen as the villain Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 back in 2014, where he faced off against Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man in a different universe than the current version. However, it likely has something to do with Doctor Strange and Peter messing with the multiverse.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel is digging way into the archives for this bit of casting! Molina memorably played Doc Ock in 2004's Spider-Man 2, the second (and best-received) movie in Sony's original Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire. Like Foxx's character, it's unclear why this iteration of Doc Ock is back and facing off against a different version of Spider-Man, but we're not complaining.

Rice seemingly hinted at her return as Betty Brant in an Instagram post back in February. The official trailer, which dropped on Aug. 23, later confirmed her return, as she can be seen on the television screen while Peter is walking through the halls of Midtown School of Science and Technology.

After Marvel released images of a LEGO set called "Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop," fans were quick to notice the inclusion of Wong. Much like Betty Brant, the official trailer confirmed Wong's appearance in the film, as seemingly the only voice of reason for Peter and Doctor Strange.

In an interview on Sirius XM's The Jess Cagle Show back in June 2020, Simmons shared that he had already filmed scenes for the character as part of an upcoming project. "Well yeah, [I'll be back as Jameson] that's the short answer," Simmons said. "There is a future for J. Jonah Jameson after a several-year hiatus. He showed up very briefly for those who were wise enough to stay through the credits of Far From Home . . . There is one more JJJ appearance in the can, and from what I'm hearing there's a plan for yet another. So hopefully JJJ will continue now and forever."

The official No Way Home trailer revealed that Happy is back, although he looks far from happy in the footage we've seen. As Iron Man's former right-hand man and Peter's quasi-mentor/bodyguard, it'll be interesting to see how he navigates things now that the knowledge of Peter being Spider-Man has been wiped from his memory.

In an interview with The Illuminerdi, Smoove shared that he would be reprising his role as Julius Dell, one of Peter's teachers.
