The MCU’s third Spider-Man movie has been given not one but two titles thanks to stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon’s posts on Instagram, which have dubbed the movie Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker, Spider-Man: Home Slice, and Spider-Man: Phone Home, as well as teasing photos of Peter, MJ, and Ned from the movie. [Update: An official title and release date have been revealed: Spider-Man: No Way Home releases on Christmas Day.]
And it’s not just the subtitles that contradict one another–the logo treatment in either post is completely different with Phone Home boasting some very green (Green Goblin, perhaps?) and yellow colors, Home Slice having a more vibrant pinkish purple loo, and Home-Wrecker going for a much more understated grey with blue and red drop shadows.
The movie stills show Ned, Peter, and MJ in what looks like a dilapidated building, with one room at least partially covered in snow and another apparently some sort of basement.
Tom Holland may be a Marvel Cinematic Universe darling as Peter Parker, but he’s also notorious for “accidentally” leaking critical information about his projects on social media–so much so that Marvel Studios has made his infamously bad secret-keeping something of a bit for major announcements–but the added layer of Batalon’s contradictory post does make this something of a head-scratcher.
It could be a nod to the multiverse–a concept that the MCU is introducing through shows like WandaVision and upcoming films like Dr. Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness–after all, a movie with a multiversal spin could definitely have two (or more) completely different titles. This could make sense, given the casting rumors swirling around the project and potential returns for former Spiders-Men like Andrew Garfield and Toby McGuire–though Holland himself has spoken out against the buzz.
Tom Holland is scheduled to appear on Jimmy Fallon tonight at 11:30pm. These teasers could hint at the real title may be revealed during the show, so Spider-fans may want to keep their eyes peeled.
