As "Spider-Man" swings into theaters, there's almost "no way" to avoid spoilers

Swinging into theaters Friday is Sony's blockbuster movie "Spider-Man: No Way Home," in which Tom Holland reprises his role as the title character. 

But this time around, the web-spinning superhero seems to be facing battles on and off the screen. It began with COVID-related delays. The film was originally slated to hit theaters on July 16, but the pandemic forced that release date back five months. The extended hiatus seems only to have increased fans' excitement. 

Social media has become a tangled web of fan theories and speculations – with some coming dangerously close to spoiling the plot. Marvel and Sony have had to go the extra mile to keep the movie from leaking.
