Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterDon’t underestimate Peter Parker.That’s the takeaway this weekend after Sony’s comic book adventure “Spider-Man: No Way Home” crushed box office expectations, generating a mammoth $253 million from 4,336 theaters in North America.It was easily the best domestic opening weekend turnout of any movie in pandemic times.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” has, in its various marketing materials, promised a kind of ultimate Spider-Man saga, one in which the latest iteration of Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) would face off against villains from the character’s past (and from other versions of the franchise). And as such some if does play like a kind of greatest hits compendium, where a new version of the character deals with bad guys we’ve already seen.

As his last villainous act before dying, Mercurio revealed Spidey’s secret identity as New York City high schooler Peter Parker (Tom Holland).Instantly, and thanks to online troll J.
