No Way Home's Jacob Batalon Reflects On What Spider-Man Movie Taught Him
After years of gaining experience in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: No Way Home actor Jacob Batalon has reflected on what those films have taught him. For five years, the young actor has portrayed Peter Parker's best friend and sidekick, affectionately known as the «man in the chair.» He appeared in all three Spider-Man films, as well as having brief cameos in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. In No Way Home, Batalon played a crucial part of the story in which he was instrumental in uniting Parker with alternate multiverse versions of the hero in an attempt to return their respective villains back to their own universes. That film proved to be Batalon's biggest Spider-Man film, pulling in over $1.8 billion at the box office.
Batalon's first major acting role was opposite Tom Holland's Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming as Ned Leeds, Parker's closest friend and eventual sidekick. Ned ends up being the only person Parker can turn to during his journey becoming the hero Queens, NY and the world needs him to be. By the end of No Way Home, Ned along with the rest of the world had their minds wiped of any knowledge of Parker's existence, leaving the titular hero alone but able to begin a brand new chapter as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
