Spider-Man 3 seems to have three different titles. Why?

What. Is. Happening?!

WARNING: This article includes rumors about the Spider-Man 3 movie. It also discusses plot points from Spider-Man: Into the Multiverse and Avengers: Endgame. If you aren’t interested in seeing that information, hit the exit button.

The Spider-Man 3 movie is going all in on playing with the number three. Not only is the movie rumored to include three different Spider-Men (Tom Holland, Tobey MaGuire and Andrew Garfield) but the film’s top three stars (Holland, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon) announced three different titles for the film.

I’ll let you soak that in for a second.

Yes, the movie has three different titles: Spider-Man: Phone Home (announced by Holland), Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker (announced by Batalon) and Spider-Man: Home Slice (announced by Zendaya). That’s pretty wild and, of course, unprecedented. Surely, Marvel will settle on one title. (And it may not even be any one of these.)

It’s hard to know, exactly, what Marvel is doing here. It’s a marketing ploy, for sure. (I’m writing about it, after all.) But it also seems to be a nod to the multiverse.
