Really, down the line, kids, parents, who knows, who really want to see this movie. I am one of them".## "I haven't seen this film. I don't know any more about it than the pages I've gotten. The character I play, the stories for him. The adventures he goes on, I'll tell you about that shortly. But seriously, I get it. It's so hard, you want to tell all your friends. I'm not going to tell any of my friends about it", he added.## Don’t worry, Benedict, we won’t say a word…🤫#DoctorStrange #SpiderManNoWayHome pic.twitter.com/t7B3UYgp2e— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) December 14, 2021 ## "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which brings to an end of the Home Coming trilogy, is on the track to earn $200M - $250M at the domestic and a potential $500 million at the global box office over the opening weekend.
