The titles that were teased by the stars were Spider-man: Home Slice, Spider-Man: Phone Home and Spider-Man: Home Wrecker, as you can see 'Home' was clearly going to feature.

Now today Sony have released a video which gives the proper title a reveal and lets agree its better than the teased ones!

Its also worth remembering that "Home" has featured in all the Disney MCU Spider-Man movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and now Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The current rumours suggest that the movie will be set in the multiverse that WanderVision on Disney+ is currently teasing and the new Doctor Strange movie will feature, and as Benedict Cumberbatch's Strange will be in the movie is a fair guess.

There is also big rumours, although denied by Tom Holland, that previous Spider-Man actors Toby Maquire and Andrew Garfield could be in the movie as two previous generation villains feature in the shape of Electro and Doctor Octopus as played by Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina.

The movie is currently wrapping filming with Jon Watts directing and alongside Holland as Spider-Man is the returning Zendaya and Jacob Batalon.

The movie is set for a December 17th 2021 release and a trailer and official poster is sure to follow soon.

The Russo Brothers who directed the last 2 Marvel Avengers movies, the second of which is the top grossing movie of all time, have teamed up with Spider-man Actor Tom Holland for their new movie Cherry.

The story centres around a war veteran who is struggling to re-establish himself into society and starts robbing banks.

A hard hitting drama the trailer looks at the romance in the story before then hitting you with the horrors of war and the reality of coming home after seeing things you never dreamed of.

Along side Holland is Ciara Bravo who is the love interest in a movie which is far removed from the Marvel Universe for both Holland and The Russo Brothers.

The movie gets a March 12th release on Apple TV.

Jumanji: The Next Level moves up the chart to the top on its second week of release removing Frozen II while Sonic The Hedgehog is the top new film.

Sony had a runaway hit with Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse earlier this year, even winning the Oscar for best animated feature, so its no surprise they have announced a sequel for release in 2022.

The exact date of release is April 8th 2022, not much more is known about the sequel yet although I guess we will get drip fed information until the release date.

Its no surprise they are releasing a sequel, the first film made $375 Million globally, and as they are sharing profit for the movie franchise with Disney this keeps their hand in the Spider-universe.

They also have their Spider-villain franchise going with Venom for which their is a sequel due next year.

There was a rumour that Tom Holland would be in the Spider-Verse sequel as the real life Spider-Man who gets sucked into the animated world, that would be fun if true.
