We know our friendly neighborhood wall-crawler is going to be pushed to his limits in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and it sounds like having a cabal of ruthless Multiversal villains to contend with his going to bring out a side of Peter Parker we haven't seen before.
Up until now, Tom Holland's take on Spider-Man has always done his best to be a hero in every situation he's found himself in, but we know from the comics that the Webhead has lost control on occasion and done things he wasn't proud of while attempting to protect the people he cares about. Will we see Peter cross the line in No Way Home?
Holland and Zendaya were both asked if this threequel would allow them to do things with their characters that they hadn't been able to previously during an interview with CBR, and the former gave a very interesting response.
"We see so many more sides of Peter. All the characters, you know? We get to emotionally put them under a certain situation we've never cinematically seen," said the MJ actress. "So you see them deal with different kinds of pressure, different kinds of scrutiny, different kinds of..."
"Yeah, and also Peter Parker's ability to be bad," Holland cut in. "There's something that happens in this film which I think fans will be very shocked by, which is really exciting and, for me, was something I loved bringing to the screen."
We can't see Parker going down a full-on villainous route - though that would certainly be a ballsy move - but he may be forced to take some drastic actions in order to defeat his enemies. Could Holland be hinting at Spidey taking a life, perhaps?
We'll find out in just over a week's time when No Way Home swings into theaters.
