Spider-Man: No Way Home – Ursula Ditkovich and Elya Baskin Get Big Screen Debuts

If you’ve seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, you’ve likely heard the name Elya Baskin. This Latvian-American character actor gained a lot of attention for his role in Moscow on the Hudson (1984). The movie is about a teenage girl who works as a secretary at a newspaper. As a result, Baskin has amassed millions of fans worldwide.

Although Baskin isn’t the only character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to get a big screen debut, her role is probably the most important. Her lovable Eastern European accent and wide range of facial expressions make her a delight to watch. And she’s also an excellent comedic actress. So, if you’re planning on watching No Way Home, keep your eyes peeled for her.

Another character with a bigger screen debut is Ursula Ditkovich, the daughter of Peter Parker’s neighbor. She’s also played by Mageina Tovah. While she didn’t have much screen time, her character did become an important player in the Raimi trilogy. Not only does she help Parker through some tough times, she also helps him to mend his relationship with Mary Jane.

One of the more intriguing parts of No Way Home is the fact that it’s set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The trailer shows that a number of characters from the franchise will be returning. But what about Black Cat? Is she really a MCU character? Would she be a villain in No Way Home? In addition, would Betty Brant be a part of the movie?

Although he doesn’t have a huge role, the film is still a treat for fans. It contains a ton of Easter eggs. There are references to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as to some of Spidey’s most famous comic book stories. Additionally, it features a few surprising twists. For example, in the trailer, it is shown that Electro has a role in the film.

It’s also worth noting that Bryce Dallas Howard, the director, is a major fan of the series. He has even made his own videos dedicated to the character. His channel, r/MrDitkovichMemes, has more than 2,000 subscribers.

Even though he doesn’t have much screen time, Elya Baskin’s performance as Mr. Ditkovich helped the film stand out. His character is more than a friendly landlord. Though it’s hard to believe, he actually has a crush on Peter. During one scene, he asks him for advice on how to patch up his relationship with Mary Jane.

Another big fan favorite is Kraven, a founding member of the Sinister Six. Kraven’s Last Hunt is one of the most popular Spider-Man stories. However, it’s possible that the “No Way Home” version of Kraven will have a smaller role than the original. Still, it’s an interesting idea to have a movie about a legendary villain.

Aside from the aforementioned characters, other references to the Spider-Man series are also included in the film. Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin and Electro have all been teased in the movie’s trailers. Other Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes will also be featured, such as Black Panther, Daredevil, and the Avengers.
