Spider-Man fans were in for an unexpected surprise on Sunday (August 22), after the trailer of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ leaked online. The video that claimed to be a trailer of the movie ended up on TikTok and was viewed by thousands.

Although the original clip has been taken down, several of its copies have surfaced on the internet. Now, Sony has been fighting tooth and nail to get all the videos removed from the internet although it seems to be a herculean task.

“When we were shooting it, we were all under orders not to talk about it, because it was supposed to be some great big secret,” Molina told Variety in April this year.
