Vulture was already introduced in the previous film and Rhys Ifans Curt (Connors/Lizard). We can also include Venom, if the post-credit scene of ‘Venom – Let there be carnage’ is to be believed.

There is no clue on the “rumored” cameo of the other Spider-man; Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, but even without the 2 Spider-man, the trailer gave us peek on the scale of film, which Director Watts is comparing it to Avengers: Endgame.

Spider-man: No Way Home is Directed by Jon Watts, will star Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-man), Zendaya (MJ), Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Stephen Strange), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), Jon Favreau (Harold “Happy” Hogan) and Marisa Tomei as Aunt May Parker.

“I’ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I’m very grateful DC and Warner Bros. share this idea,” said writer Tom Taylor. “Superman’s symbol has always stood for hope, for truth and for justice. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics.”

Just like his father before him, Jon Kent has fallen for a reporter. After initially striking up a friendship with reporter Jay Nakamura, he and Jon become romantically involved in the pages of SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL #5 from writer Tom Taylor (DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL) and artist John Timms (HARLEY QUINN). Following a scene where Superman mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can, Jay is there to care for the Man of Steel.

“I’m incredibly honored to be working beside Tom on the SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL series showing Jon Kent tackling his complex modern life, while also saving the world from its greatest threats, villains and menaces,” said artist John Timms.

“We couldn’t be prouder to tell this important story from Tom Taylor and John Timms,” said DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee. “We talk a lot about the power of the DC Multiverse in our storytelling and this is another incredible example. We can have Jon Kent exploring his identity in the comics as well as Jon Kent learning the secrets of his family on TV on Superman & Lois. They coexist in their own worlds and times, and our fans get to enjoy both simultaneously.”

Superman: Son of Kal-El comes issue #5 is written by Tom Taylor with John Timms and Gabe Eltaeb for the arts and colors, it will comeout on November 9th.
