It sounds like the next “Spider Man” movie will be a crowded affair.

Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker and Marisa Tomei, of course, as Aunt May. But now the word is that past Peters Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will appear as well. How about Sally Field and Rosemary Harris? Why not?

Announced today definitely is the return of the great Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius a.k.a Doctor Octopus. Jamie Foxx is returning as Electro from Andrew Garfield’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Tony Revolori are coming back from the Holland movies as well. There’s also supposed to be an appearance by Bendedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange from the Marvel Universe.

How will director Jon Watts make sense of all this? Leave it to producer Amy Pascal. She will pull the whole thing off with ease. She has the real Spidey powers!
