It might feel as if the multiverse is a relatively new concept; after all, Hollywood hasn’t been able to get enough of it over recent years. However, the concept actually dates back to 1950s quantum physics and has been appearing in popular culture ever since. It is, nevertheless, this past decade that has seen a boom in the multiverse’s popularity, most notably with the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the $1.9 billion blockbuster that stands as one of the highest-grossing movies of the 2020s.
In the film, fans were left picking their jaws up off the floor as Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker came face-to-face with a returning Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, with this no doubt a massive contributor to the film’s box office triumph. At the end of the film, Holland’s Parker is wiped from the memory of the world, leaving him to pick up the pieces on July 31 in Spider-Man: Brand New Day — “A forgotten Peter Parker lives alone as a full-time Spider-Man,” the synopsis for the movie reads, “until mounting pressure triggers a dangerous change and a powerful new enemy emerges.”
But before Brand New Day swings into theaters, the best multiverse movie of the decade is about to become available for free. Everything Everywhere All at Once, directed by the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), soared to success in 2022, with its bonkers, existential blend of multiple genres praised by both critics and audiences. In fact, so successful was the film that it earned a staggering 11 Academy Award nominations and won 7, most notably in three of the four major acting categories and the coveted Best Picture. Starting July 1, you’ll be able to stream Everything Everywhere All at Once for free on Plex.
