The highly-anticipated Sony and Marvel’s movie "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will release in the UK on Wednesday, December 15, two days prior to its release date in the United States.
This is a common release strategy for movies set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The previous Spider-Man movie, "Spider-Man: Far From Home" was released on June 28 in China, before the US premiere on July 2.
The latest MCU movie, Chloe Zhao's "Eternals", was released two days earlier in France, Germany, and Sweden, while September's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, was released in France, Korea, and Italy two days before its official release in the US.
Moreover, a brand-new poster for Spider-Man: No Way Home has been released to celebrate the impending release of the latest trailer on Tuesday.
The poster continues to tease the multiverse will unleash villains of the past while Spider-Man and Doctor Strange stand side by side.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is made by Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures and marks Tom Holland’s third movie as the web-slinging superhero.
The upcoming installment will feature Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) becoming Spider-Man’s mentor, a role that was previously occupied by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
Cumberbatch and Holland collaborated for the first time in 2018’s Marvel movie, “Avengers: Infinity War”.
The movie will also feature Jamie Foxx returning as Electro, who starred in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which starred Andrew Garfield as the web-slinging hero at that time, and Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2.
It will also feature most of the supporting cast from the previous installments, including Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Angourie Rice, Marisa Tomei, J.K. Simmons, Tony Revolori, and others.
The movie is directed by Jon Watts, who helmed the first two movies.
The new installment sees our friendly neighborhood hero unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange, the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
“Spider–Man: No Way Home” is currently slated to hit theaters on Dec. 17.
