It wasn't Tom Holland who accidentally leaked precious secrets about an upcoming "Spider-Man" movie, but the 25-year-old actor did his part to hype the franchise's third installment before the official teaser dropped on Monday, following an alleged leak the day prior.
Taking to Instagram stories, Holland warned, "You ain't ready!"
Soon enough, Marvel dropped the official teaser-trailer for "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which picks up right after "Spider-Man: Far from Home's" cliffhanger, where Jake Gyllenhaal's villainous Mysterio unmasks Peter Parker as Spider-Man and wrongfully accuses him of his murder.

The situation weaves a tangled web for Peter, who's grappling with losing his secret identity while trying to prove his innocence to the world, which dubs him "public enemy #1."
Desperate, Peter seeks out the help of Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange and asks if there's a spell to make everyone forget he's Spider-Man.

Unfortunately, the spell goes haywire and sends the world plunging into chaos. Alternate multiverse realities begin to crash into one another, bringing back familiar faces from Spider-Man's past, including Jamie Foxx's Electro and Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus.
In addition, we can hear Willem Dafoe's chilling Green Goblin laugh.
