No Way Home's Finale Needed Complete Changing To Release In China
Spider-Man: No Way Home's finale needed major changes in order for the film to be cleared for release in China, a new report claims. Marking the end of Tom Holland's Spider-Man trilogy, which began with Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, No Way Home saw the titular hero taking on his biggest challenge yet.
