The Tom Holland-led Spider-Man: No Way Home is one of the hotly anticipated films coming from the stable of Marvel Cinematic Universe. Co-produced by Marvel Studios and Columbia Pictures and distributed by Sony Pictures, the big-ticket project is set to be the third outing for Holland as the titular wall-crawler, masked crusader.

Aside from the fact that Holland is fronting the lead cast, details on the film are scarce. However, several rumours have been floating around for months now regarding the return of most of the first two films’ cast, one of them being that the film will bring back actress Emma Stone.

Stone, who played Gwen Stacy in the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man and its 2014 sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2, was recently asked if she would feature in the Jon Watts directorial, which she denied. “I have heard those rumours. I don't know if I am supposed to say anything, but I am not. I don't know what you are supposed to respond as an alumnus," the actress told MTV News.

Her comments come after Golden Globe nominee Andrew Garfield also debunked his much-speculated appearance in the upcoming sequel, saying that fans should “chill” as he “ain’t got a call”.

On the big screen, Tobey Maguire had first played Peter Parker aka Spider-Man in filmmaker Sam Raimi's much-loved trilogy - Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).  He was later followed by Garfield, who starred as the superhero in two movies – The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Holland later took over the part and made his first appearance with Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, before going on to headline his stand-alone films.

It is rumoured that Alfred Molina will reprise his role of Doctor Octopus from Maguire's Spider-Man films, as well as Jamie Foxx, who is said to be returning as Electro, having last played the villain opposite Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Also starring Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to arrive in cinemas on December 17, 2021.

Meghan Markle's 'With Love, Meghan' renewed for season 2 despite critic backlash and ratings

Despite being panned by reviewers, Meghan Markle's 'With Love, Meghan'has managed to secure a second season, and it is almost true that controversy still fuels viewership. The eight-episode show, which premiered on Tuesday, features the Duchess of Sussex sharing cooking, gardening, and hosting tips from a stunning California estate. Despite being labelled “gormless lifestyle filler” by *The Guardian* and an “exercise in narcissism” by *The Telegraph*, the series has found its way into Netflix’s top 10 in 47 countries, including the U.S., Canada, and South Africa.

The show’s renewal was announced just hours after its debut, with Meghan sharing the news on Instagram in her signature playful style. Wearing a hat that read “lettuce romaine calm,” she posted, “Lettuce romaine calm… or not (!) because I'm thrilled to share that Season 2 of *With Love, Meghan* is coming!” She added, “If you're loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2!”

Women in their villain era: Ditching the ‘Good Girl’ act and owning unapologetic power

Let’s face it: the world has never been a safe space for women. It’s a place where we’re told to smile while being catcalled, to be polite while being undermined, and to shrink ourselves to fit into the tiny, suffocating box labelled “likeable.” In a world that often feels set against them with unsafe streets, glass ceilings, impossible beauty standards, and a relentless demand to be nice, women have had enough. They are done playing nice. The good girl act is out, and the villain era is in. And when they decided to break free? Oh honey, they did it with a bang.

This is the age of women flipping the script, ditching the nice girl manual, and embracing their inner bad guy. And why wouldn’t we? When the world is a dumpster fire of double standards, violence, and impossible expectations, sometimes the only way to survive is to become the villain they already think you are. And let’s be real: when women stop playing by the rules, it’s not a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough.
