There has been a lot of speculation about which characters are set to appear in Spider-Man. No Way Home, beyond the previously confirmed appearances of Benedicts Cumberbatch and Wong as Doctor Strange and his sassy partner Wong.

We've also heard that a number of actos from classic (read: non-MCU) films would be returning to their roles, including Jamie Foxx as Electro and Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus. Early rumors also speculated that Charlie Cox might reprise his role as Matt Murdock, and mark the first time the character has appeared on the big screen since the disastrous 2003 Daredevil movie.

More recently those rumors changed, and suggested that both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would be reprising role as Peter Parker from previous Spider-Man movies. We're not going to spoil anything here, but the big topic at hand right now is the fans demand for Amazing Spider-Man 3.

Those rumors also claimed that Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone may also be returning as Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacey.

But rumors are rumors, and should be treated as such until Marvel and Sony confirms or denies their legitimacy. Here's who we know is going to star in the movie, based on official announcements and the newly-released teaser trailer.
Speaking of Zendaya and Batalon, Holland's been quoted as saying "We've been making these films for five years now ... We've had such an amazing relationship, the three of us. We've been with each other every step of the way. We've done every single film, every single press tour. So this one scene, [we didn't know] if this would be the last time [we were all working together,]" — which makes us wonder if one of them isn't making it to another Spider-movie.

In the Venom 2 post-credits scene, we saw two huge things, one more subtle than the other. The more obvious moment came as we saw J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, yelling about how Peter Parker is Spider-Man. This ties things directly into the end of Far From Home, and when Venom licked the screen (with Spidey on it), we got the distinct impression that Eddie Brock and his symbiote may appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

But, before that, we saw a gigantic explosion in the sky. It seemed as if the timeline-shattering events from the Loki finale may have been what triggered this dimensions-shattering event.
