SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Placeholder Runtime Has Seemingly Been Revealed Thanks To Theater Listing

We're all counting down the days until Spider-Man: No Way Home swings into theaters, and a new listing from a UK chain may shed some light on just how lengthy the wall-crawler's next adventure will be.

Filed Under: No Way Home

We waited what felt like forever for that first Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, but to say we need and want to see more from this one would be an understatement! Hopefully, the marketing campaign will swing into full effect as we near that December 17 release date, but it could be that we'll need to be patient for at least the next month or so.

There is, however, one interesting tidbit of information we can share with you today!

On UK theater chain Cineworld's website, they have Spider-Man: No Way Home listed as having a runtime of 150 minutes. It's possible, and highly likely, that this is just a placeholder. However, the site's placeholder runtime for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was 130 minutes, and the movie ended up clocking in at 132 minutes!

As a result, we definitely can't discount the possibility that this is based on tentative information shared by Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios. It also wouldn't be the first time a runtime has been revealed in advance this way.

If accurate, then Spider-Man: No Way Home looks set to be just as lengthy as Avengers: Infinity War, though that's arguably fitting when all the signs are pointing to it being a spectacular epic. Doctor Octopus, Electro, and the Green Goblin are among the confirmed villains, while we're also anticipating seeing a few other baddies and two familiar Spider-Men.

We'll be sure to keep you updated, so keep checking back here for the latest.

Click on the "Next" button below to check out our
breakdown of Spider-Man: No Way Home's Sinister Six!

6. The Lizard

Sam Raimi had tentative plans for years to introduce The Lizard in one of his movies, and he would have been introduced in Spider-Man 4 (with Curt Connors as a supporting villain to John Malkovich's Vulture). That obviously didn't happen, but Sony Pictures did revisit the idea with 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man.

Like his comic book counterpart, this Lizard desperately wanted to regrow his missing arm and ultimately fell into madness when he tried to transform all of New York City's inhabitants. Defeated by Spider-Man and returned to his human form, we last saw Curt in a cell where he was approached by Gustav Fiers and asked whether he'd told Peter the truth about his parents.

That subplot ended up being abandoned, and we never saw The Lizard again. Fans are convinced they've seen him in the trailer for No Way Home, and it makes sense to use the villain here based on action scenes alone. We're hoping for a redesign, of course, and there have been rumblings that this version will be more in line with his comic book counterpart (including the lab coat).

5. Electro

Jamie Foxx was the first actor to be cast in this threequel, and we assumed at the time Kevin Feige just wanted to give the Oscar-winner a shot at playing a decent version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2's big bad. Of course, Foxx later dropped a bombshell by sharing fan-art of the villain squaring off with three versions of the web-slinger (while confirming he won't be blue).

With that, the Spider-Verse theories were born, and a leaked image has since shown us a vastly different Max Dillon. As a result, we can't say for sure if this is the same Electro as the one we met in 2014, but the trailer pointed to his electricity being yellow - as it should be - instead of blue in the MCU.

The Amazing franchise's Peter essentially killed Electro when he defeated him, and while Foxx said in the years that followed that electricity can't truly die, we're not surprised this baddie is looking for vengeance. What he'll bring to the table beyond that remains to be seen, but Max isn't the smartest guy in the world, so it could be that he's primarily the muscle.

4. Sandman

The technology used to bring Sandman to life in 2007's Spider-Man 3 was jaw-dropping. Unfortunately, Flint Marko wasn't the most effective of villains beyond those visuals and a big part of that can be blamed on the bizarre decision to reveal him as the true killer of Uncle Ben.

Peter Parker ultimately forgave the villain, and it looked like his evildoing ways were then behind him. Of course, Sandman is a character who frequently jumped between hero and villain status in the comic books, so it probably wouldn't take much for him to be manipulated into being part of this version of the Sinister Six...if he's actually in the movie, that is.

If all those recent No Way Home theories sprang from the leaked trailer, then it's safe to assume those "scoopers" have been basing their assumptions on the Sandman-like figure we see in that sneak peek. As a result, we're putting Sandman in the "rumoured" category, but it would definitely be fun to see what he could add to the mix here.

3. The Mystery Sixth Member

Rumour has it that Paul Giamatti's Rhino will be the sixth member of this team, but we're not buying that. The actor seemed utterly baffled when he was asked about a possible return recently, and we're not sure what the point of bringing this character back would actually be.

The actor delivered a cringe-worthy performance in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and fans still can't believe the sequel ended by failing to show us his battle with the web-slinger. Given what a goofy "costume" he was wearing, we can live without a return, but that leaves us to wonder who the sixth member of this apparent team could be.

The Vulture may be off the table seeing as Adrian Toomes has a mystery role in Morbius, while transforming Mac Gargan into the Scorpion might be too much for an already busy movie. With that in mind, we're betting Mysterio makes his return as the one responsible for uniting these villains.

2. Doctor Octopus

The big reveal in the trailer we've talked so much about here is, of course, the return of Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus. The lead villain in 2004's Spider-Man 2, he fell under the control of those four arms and the advanced A.I. chip embedded in his spine and brain. However, he managed to regain his free will during the final battle with the wall-crawler.

Saving New York City, and perhaps the world, Doc Ock sacrificed himself to bury his dangerous fusion power experiment in the water surrounding the Big Apple. As his lifeless body sank into the depths below, the power in his arms shut down, but the light in them was red instead of white (signalling that they were in control of Otto at the time of his death).

That could explain why the character has reverted to his villainous ways, and if this Ock blames Peter for his demise, then it's really no wonder he's back and looking to kill any and all versions of Spider-Man! However, we're not expecting him to be the man in charge in this MCU movie...

1. Green Goblin

Yes, Doctor Octopus has traditionally led the comic book's Sinister Six, but it's Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin we expect to see take centre stage in No Way Home as the true mastermind. His familiar laugh - and a Pumpkin Bomb - featured in the trailer, and rumour has it he manipulates the MCU's Peter into freeing him and his fellow villains before embarking on a mission to escape his fate.

While his death was self-inflicted, a lunatic like Norman Osborn almost certainly blames Peter for jumping out of the way and leaving him impaled on his Goblin Glider (he probably isn't best pleased about what happened to his son, Harry, in Spider-Man 3 either).

Of all these bad guys, it's the Green Goblin we most want to see stick around in the MCU. He is Spider-Man's greatest villain and a character with almost limitless potential, so why not spend the next few years having him torment the web-slinger? Either way, something tells us Gobby could steal the show, especially when he's reportedly getting a new, more comic accurate costume.

Nice!

SpideyPuffsMJ - 8/30/2021, 3:33 AM

Probably skipping the next trailer if I can control myself. Rare opportunity to go in semi-fresh to such a crazy movie

DarthOmega - 8/30/2021, 4:42 AM

@SpideyPuffsMJ - I tried to do that with Endgame... I couldn't resist. I ended up watching every little T.V spot searching for any new footage. I was a weak WEAK man.

ymk700 - 8/30/2021, 5:45 AM

@DarthOmega - same here. I have no self control. Lol

TheWalkingCuban - 8/30/2021, 6:51 AM

@DarthOmega - I do pretty well if the first trailer is interesting.

Or boring.

Unless I’m bored at something I’m supposed to be interested in, then I will watch more. Eg: Eternals

ProudPatriot76 - 8/30/2021, 7:00 AM

@DarthOmega - I read every spoiler about the movie before I see it. I get it. It’s hard man!

MovieMonster - 8/30/2021, 7:01 AM

@SpideyPuffsMJ - My father and sister are like this. They avoid trailers, especially for Marvel movies, because they like to go in knowing as little as possible. I can’t resist and watch every trailer before the movie.

Just the other day, my father said something like “I hope the new Spider-Man isn’t some multiverse crap” most likely because he wasn’t a fan of the Loki series. Oh, are you in for a surprise, Dad.

Se4M4NSt4ine - 8/30/2021, 3:34 AM

This is a Spider-Man film that can be as long as it needs to be.

bkmeijer2 - 8/30/2021, 3:41 AM

With the amount of things this is seemingly gonna go through, than that runtime seems appropriate

Spidey91 - 8/30/2021, 3:42 AM

it could've been 3 hours and I wouldn't complain.

OmegaDaGrodd - 8/30/2021, 3:48 AM

Take your time pastor

KWilly - 8/30/2021, 3:53 AM

When the promotion for this movie is on full throttle, I need to see all 3 getting interviewed at once.

Se4M4NSt4ine - 8/30/2021, 4:26 AM

@KWilly - man I can’t wait for Tobey to be stepping back into the paparazzi spotlight, he hated it so much before, now he’s arguably gonna get it even worse lol

KWilly - 8/30/2021, 4:43 AM

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Yeah, Andrew's not gonna like it either lol.

DarthOmega - 8/30/2021, 4:53 AM

@KWilly - Yeah, I get it, these celebrities are rich. People kiss their ass all the time, but Paparazzi are scum. The only thing more annoying than entitled celebrity millionaires, is the idiots stalking, and harassing them for crappy pictures.

McMurdo - 8/30/2021, 5:18 AM

@KWilly - we deserve a good nude scene with all 3 spider boys and their spider bits. Full frontal or bust. Pun intended

TheWalkingCuban - 8/30/2021, 6:51 AM

@KWilly - by JJJ

QuietStorm - 8/30/2021, 8:07 AM

@KWilly - The whole thing is sh*tty but when the guy said "Why dont you take the subway?!" I would not have been mad at all if Andrew beat his azz

DarthOmega - 8/30/2021, 4:46 AM

We might see Tobey Maguire in a spider suit again. Also, we are seeing Michael Keaton in the Batsuit again... Sorry, I'm geeking TF out over here. It's like we don't even deserve this level of awesome. Rejoice!!!

WeaponXCII - 8/30/2021, 5:06 AM

It feels like this movie has a lot to set up, so this seems like a reasonable runtime.

marvel72 - 8/30/2021, 5:54 AM

2.5 hours, seems about right,lots to explain and show.

LeonNova - 8/30/2021, 6:12 AM

Sounds about right they got a lot of characters to reintroduce and a lot of ground to cover. I wouldn’t have minded if it was 3 hours long.

LSHF - 8/30/2021, 7:07 AM

Let's not forget Kraven:

I posted this once (sorry), but I love it.

MosquitoFarmer - 8/30/2021, 8:01 AM

I wouldn't be surprised. This is clearly one of their big deal films for Phase 4.

LukeCage2155 - 8/30/2021, 8:50 AM

Interesting runtime.

TheManWithoutFear - 8/30/2021, 8:55 AM

"though that's arguably fitting when all the signs are pointing to it being a spectacular epic."

I don't understand why you feel the need to justify the stories like this. This method of writing is really strange. Like, you are not starting an argument with anyone. Just relax.
