My Revolution of PARTs

Marvel Studios and Sony's  Spider-Man: No Way Home  took the world by storm and webbed up the hearts and minds of millions of fans and critics alike. The 1.5 billion dollar-grossing film featured an assortment of Multiversal villains (like Alfred Molina's Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx's Electro) and also included special appearances from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of Peter Parker, from Spider-Man movies past. Teaming up with Tom Holland's MCU-native Web-Slinger, the three Spideys took on the bad guys and saved the day before depositing everyone back into their own universes. ADVERTISEMENT Fans might remember that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2  almost recast its Peter Parker due to back injuries suffered by lead Tobey Maguire on the set of  Seabiscuit . Of course, things ultimately went as planned and Maguire still starred in the sequel, but there was, in fact, a sly reference to Maguire's back issues in the film itself...

Spider-Man: No Way Home may have been the culminating event for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, but it also provided opportunities for the past generations of wall-crawlers to web up their loose ends.

For Garfield’s Peter, he’s not only left without the love of his life, but he sees her blood on his hands in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. ADVERTISEMENT This self-diagnosed accountability took a toll on his psyche as well. Garfield hints that his Peter “stopped pulling his punches” in No Way Home , suggesting The Amazing Spider-Man ’s hero developed quite the mean streak. Garfield’s Peter can’t ch...

Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye turned out to be a welcome surprise to many. The Disney+ series offered up an exciting, fun, and emotional Christmas tale which critics and fans seemingly adored. The world got to meet Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop, who teamed up with her childhood hero, Clint Barton, as the two tried to mop up their mess in time for the holidays. The cherry on top? The show paved the way for Vincent D’Onofrio’s return as Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin. The character was last seen on Netflix’s Daredevil , a series that was canceled back in 2018. The villain has been a fan favorite ever since his first appearance, and when his show was canned, audiences thought they’d never see him again. ADVERTISEMENT Yet, Christmas came early, and the Kingpin of crime returned to the fold. His reveal was teased throughout the show’s six-episode runtime. While he wasn’t officially unveiled until Episode 5, one of the biggest teases involved only his arm. D'On...
