Fans largely disagree with that sentiment, but it seems the architect of cinema’s most lucrative franchise is doing anything in his power to see Spider-Man: There’s no way home shortlisted in at least a few major categories. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the company’s main creative offering compared Tom Holland’s third solo outing to The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
“In a way The return of the King is a celebration and culmination of all the great work done on that trilogy, There’s no way home is a memory of both of us Come home trilogy and other incarnations of Spider-Man. ”

However, The Return of the King is the end to a pair of ‘unpredictable’ fantasy epics that have reinvented big-budget cinema, both of which have received numerous major Oscars and more than a few wins.
