Spider-Man: No Way Home still hasn't been entirely finished.
According to Collider's Steven Weintraub, the upcoming Spider-Man threequel has not fully been completed; the final VFX shots will be delivered nearly two weeks before No Way Home is set to premiere in theaters. This news comes with the confirmation of the film's final runtime, which will clock in at 150 minutes long.
Based on the footage that has been shown in the trailers and promotional material for No Way Home, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film will most likely be VFX heavy. This is especially with the inclusion of Spider-Man villains from previous franchises, such as Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin and Alfred Molina's Doctor Otto Octavius, whose tentacles will no longer be puppets like they were in the 2004 Sam Raimi film, but now entirely created using VFX.
Though the film hasn't been completely finished, it is known that the two-hour and 30-minute Spider-Man: No Way Home will be the third-longest film in the MCU, behind Eternals, a two-hour and 37-minute stint, and Avengers: Endgame as the longest, boasting three hours and 2 minutes. Overall, No Way Home is the longest Spider-Man movie so far, across franchises, with films like Spider-Man 3 clocking in at two hours and 19 minutes, and Amazing Spider-Man running for two hours and 16 minutes in total. Compared to the other Tom Holland-led Spider-Man films, No Way Home also comes to 26 minutes longer than Homecoming, and nearly 30 minutes longer than Far From Home.
No Way Home is also projected to have an equally massive box office in its opening weekend. Currently, it has been predicted that Spider-Man: No Way Home could not only be the first pandemic-era film to make $100 million in its first weekend but might also be the first film to earn $200 million in its opening weekend since Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Demand for tickets to No Way Home even caused several online ticketing services to crash for the day, with ticket presales also comparing to those for Endgame.
Though the film isn't completely finished, Marvel Studios and Sony Entertainment are still keeping details about the film as tight to the chest as possible. According to recent reports, press screenings will only show reporters 40 minutes of the 150-minute movie, which is said to give journalists just enough information for press junkets and other events.
Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives in theaters Dec. 17.
