Matt Murdoch is not a Spider-Man villain, nor has he ever appeared in any Spider-Man films. Charlie Cox as Matt Murdoch/Daredevil, Netflix’s Daredevil (2014-2018) ‘Inside’: Someone Please Save Willem Dafoe From This Messy MovieĦ. Sandman would perhaps be more impactful were he ever to cross over into the Star Wars universe to antagonize Anakin Skywalker, which is legally possible considering those franchises are owned by the same corporation now. The Sandman isn’t as striking a villain as the others because he felt like he was getting in the way of an already narratively inflated Spider-Man 3 (which had Peter Parker sympathize with him because of his sick daughter, despite the fact that he murdered Uncle Ben - a huge retcon considering Uncle Ben was killed by a completely different person in the first movie). Thomas Haden Church as Flint Marco/the Sandman, Spider-Man 3 (2007)Īll respect to Thomas Haden Church, who took his Marvel money and simply showed up, worked kind-of hard but not as hard as he could have, and ran home as soon as he heard the word cut. So who handled their great power and responsibility the best? Here, we rank their performances from meh-tastic to Oscar-worthy.Ĩ. No Way Home easily could have been a messy web of chaos, but thanks to all-in performances from returning actors who, quite frankly, did not have to go as hard as they did for this, it all holds together.
Does any of this make sense? Not really, but it doesn’t have to, because the emotional arcs track and we love Spider-Man.
SPIDER MAN NO WAY HOME CAST MOVIE
Most of the returning performers ham it up as much as possible, making this ambitious and absurd endeavor - basically, turning a meme into a bloated but fun, moving, and self-aware nostalgia trip of a movie - work. In 2012, Marvel made a run at a new trilogy with The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield, followed by a 2014 sequel, but those movies lacked the magic and sense of humor of Raimi’s a third film was never made. They created the blueprint for goofy supervillains with emotional weight and instantly became iconic cinematic bad guys. Years later, moments from the Raimi trilogy have become their own memes, like emo Peter Parker and “I’m something of a scientist myself.” Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina as Green Goblin and Doc Ock, respectively, added to the franchise’s heartfelt center with their campy but grounded performances. Besides 1998’s Blade, more of a vampire film than a standard superhero film, and 2000’s X-Men, a sprawling ensemble of heroes and antiheroes, Marvel hadn’t let one of its true heroes lead a movie to that point.Ĭarried by Tobey Maguire’s charmingly optimistic take on Peter Parker - a perfect complement to Raimi’s horror-influenced directing style - Spider-Man dominated the box office and permeated pop culture.
Superhero films and Marvel films had been made before Spider-Man came to theaters May 3, 2002, but for decades, DC heroes Superman and Batman dominated the live-action treatment of comics characters in major motion pictures. If you want to place blame anywhere for the existence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the current state of cinema - which is engulfed in superhero stories and dominated by Disney-owned IP - you can probably trace it back to San Raimi’s Spider-Man.
