A public service announcement to all Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans out there, the official Spider Man: No Way Home trailer has just dropped.

But it doesn’t come without controversy after a trailer with unfinished CGI was doing the rounds across social media prior to the big release.

The much-anticipated trailer was leaked late Sunday night, American time, and was labelled as one of the most significant disclosures in the MCU.

Unlike previous leaks where fans cut, paste and put together segments of already available MCU films, this leak appeared to be the real-deal featuring real Sony and Marvel footage.

No time for spoiler alerts

Fans who came across the unofficial trailer spoiled some of the teaser’s surprises ahead of time, with Twitter and YouTube both in serious need of a spoiler tag for those who hadn’t viewed the trailer yet.

And while many fans weren’t phased about the sudden release, the unofficial teaser lacked visual effects components.

In fact, fans were urged by film and entertainment platform gamesradar to “start putting up filters and stop doomscrolling on Twitter” ahead of the trailer’s official release.

Alex Zalben, Managing Director of Decider, took to Twitter to warn fans that the real deal was more than worth it.

“Sorry I’m only going to watch the Spider Man: No Way Home trailer the way Marvel intends me to,” Zalben writes, before summarising the thoughts many other fans had on the trailer.

Usually, Sony is quick to put an end to unverified leaks in order to quash spoilers, but this time the official trailer followed shortly after it’s unofficial counterpart and it came without warning.

“You’ve waited long enough… I told you, you weren’t ready,” Tom Holland posted to Instagram alongside the trailer.

The film is expected to be released in theatres on December 17 this year.

PM Keir Starmer faces pressure over Epstein links and party unrest, with approval at 20% amid resignation calls.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under intense political pressure as he risks becoming the first UK leader linked to the Epstein scandal. His approval rating has plummeted to just 20 percent, leaving him vulnerable to criticism from within Labour and raising fresh questions about his leadership.

The party has faced further turbulence following the resignation of Peter Mandelson, who stepped down amid revelations over his ambassadorial appointment and an ongoing police investigation. This latest development has intensified scrutiny on Labour’s senior figures and added to concerns about instability at the top.

Opposition from Labour lawmakers continues to grow, with increasing calls for Starmer to resign despite support from cabinet members. Many fear that a leadership challenge could deepen divisions within the party and create wider economic uncertainty.

Protesters clashed with police in Sydney, resulting in 27 arrests amid tensions over Israeli President Herzog’s visit.

Tensions flared in Sydney on Thursday as protesters clashed with police during a rally opposing the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Authorities arrested 27 people, including 10 accused of assaulting officers, after crowds attempted to breach barricades near the city.

Hundreds of police were deployed to enforce new protest restrictions, introduced following recent violent demonstrations, and pepper spray was used as officers tried to maintain order. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried signs condemning the ongoing conflict in Gaza, voicing anger over the timing of Mr Herzog’s visit.

The unrest highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding international politics and local security measures, with authorities balancing the right to protest against public safety concerns.

Australia’s major parties restore Coalition unity after three weeks, with Nationals frontbenchers rejoining shadow cabinet and ministers pledging commitment.

Australia’s Liberal and National parties have agreed to restore their historic Coalition partnership after a three-week split, marking their second reconciliation in under a year. The deal ensures stability ahead of upcoming political challenges.

Under the agreement, Nationals frontbenchers will return to the shadow cabinet by March 1. This move signals a return to unified leadership as both parties aim to present a stronger front in parliament.

As part of the compromise, three senators who broke party solidarity during a recent vote face a six-week suspension. All shadow ministers will also sign an agreement to uphold cabinet unity and prevent future splits.
