Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Named Best Superhero Movie at the 2022 Critics’ Choice Super Awards and nominated for an Oscar for its VFX, Spider-Man: No Way Home sees Peter Parker turn to Doctor Strange for help after Spider-Man’s identity is revealed. When a spell goes wrong, dangerous foes from other worlds start to appear, forcing Peter to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
As Peter Parker, Tom Holland was nominated as Best Actor at the 2022 Critics’ Choice Super Awards, where he lost out to co-star Andrew Garfield as, well, Peter Parker. Willem Dafoe was named Best Villain as Green Goblin and Zendaya was up for Best Actress as MJ.
Also starring Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, No Way Home grossed over $1.9 billion worldwide, making it the biggest box office hit of 2021, the biggest Spider-Man movie yet, and the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time.
The movie has a 93% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus says, “A bigger, bolder Spider-Man sequel, No Way Home expands the franchise’s scope and stakes without losing sight of its humour and heart,” while Empire Magazine saying, “At the risk of getting cheesy, it won’t just make you cheer, it’ll make you want to hug your friends, too.”
