It's a clash of the multi-limbed Marvel characters as a new Spider-Man: No Way Home TV spot hits the airwaves.
The spot, titled "Competition," provides viewers with more scenes from the heavily-teased battle between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus from the trailers, as well as more dialogue from a returning Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius. Opening with Doc Ock's arrival, it cuts to Spider-Man quizzically asking "Do I know you?" prompting Ock to attack his alternate reality foe. Once Peter activates his Iron Spider legs, however, Ock comments on the eight-legged features to his own sentient arms, remarking, "Looks like we've got competition."
Molina, who played Octavius in 2004's Spider-Man 2, appeared at the conclusion of No Way Home's first trailer, but more of his role was revealed in the newly-released second trailer. The trailer confirms that Ock will continue to communicate with his tentacles, as he did following the destruction of the inhibitor chip in the 2004 film. While Sam Raimi's Spider-Man never donned any metallic spider legs, the MCU's Spider-Man received the legs with the Iron Spider suit -- inspired by the comic book costume of the same name -- he donned for the first time in Avengers: Infinity War. The spot teases a fight with both Spider-Man and Ock using their respective mechanical arms.
But the Iron Spider suit won't just be used against the likes of Ock. Spider-Man: No Way Home's second trailer also featured physical appearances from other multiverse supervillains, including Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin from Spider-Man and Jamie Foxx's Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While Goblin's appearance remains mostly the same from Raimi's film, Electro's has been heavily altered, with his blue-skinned appearance replaced with yellow electric powers. More than that, in one scene, his powers manifest a lightning bolt-shaped mask over his face, reminiscent of the classic Electro costume.
The trailer even featured a scene of Spider-Man battling not only Electro, but versions of Spider-Man 3's Sandman and The Amazing Spider-Man's Lizard as well. Joining these characters is J.K. Simmons as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's J. Jonah Jameson, seemingly reprising his Raimi trilogy role as the Daily Bugle owner who revealed Peter's identity in Spider-Man: No Way Home's mid-credit scene.
Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives in theaters Dec. 17.
