Fan art jokes that it was John Cena who punched The Lizard in a recent ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ teaser. Peter Parker will certainly have his hands full in the newest ‘Spider-Man’ epic as the multi-verse explodes onto the screen, bringing with it a whole collection of bad guys culled from previous ‘Spider-Man’ cinematic adventures.
Of course what fans really want to know is whether Peter will have any help in taking on Doc Ock, The Sandman, Electro, The Lizard and Green Goblin. It seems only fair that if the ‘Spider-Verse’ is opening up, No Way Home would also include a visit from one or both previous movie ‘Spider-Man’ actors. Unfortunately there has been nothing but denials when it comes to speculation about Andrew Garfield and/or Tobey Maguire showing up to help Peter fight all those villains.
However, fans remain unconvinced and indeed more fuel was recently thrown on the fire thanks to a Brazilian teaser for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ featuring a strange moment in which The Lizard appeared to get punched by someone invisible. Fans couldn’t help but speculate that in the actual movie it’s a former ‘Spider-Man’ who punches The Lizard, and the people who made the trailer simply did an awkward job of cutting around this particular fact.
The mystery of who punched The Lizard will no doubt remain just that until ‘No Way Home’ finally arrives in theaters and clears everything up. In the meantime, fan artists are having their own fun guessing who might have roughed up the bad guy character in the trailer. One piece of art from Samuel Cheve went way outside the box in coming up with a culprit, blowing right past Garfield or Maguire and heading straight to someone who isn’t even in the MCU. -Screen Rant
