Though already a heartbreaking moment, new Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art reveals an alternate version of Aunt May's death. The third installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise saw Tom Holland's Peter Parker breaking the doors of the multiverse open with the help of Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange in the hopes of restoring his secret identity after being exposed by Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio in the previous film.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Just over a year after the multiverse epic first hit theaters, artist Phil Langone has taken to Instagram to share new Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Phil Langone The storyboard reel reveals an alternate version of Aunt May's death, with Marisa Tomei's character meeting her end at the hands of Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio under an elevated train track near Peter's school. The concept art also sees a new side to Holland's webslinger as he unleashes his rage onto the MCU villain, which Langone dubbed to be "Berserk Spidey".
The other major downside to Mysterio killing Aunt May in Spider-Man: No Way Home was how it'd take away from the emotional arc Tobey Maguire's incarnation of the webslinger gets from having to square off against his first nemesis once more.
