* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In August 2019, Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/SonyPictures initially declined to continue their agreement to keep ComicBook/SpiderMan in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and place him in Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse instead. However, due to Creator/TomHolland's vocal desire to continue negotiations and '''rabid''' fan backlash at the decision, the companies came to another agreement which allowed for the titular character to stay within the MCU for multiple films after ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''. The deal also allowed for Spider-Man to be shared with both franchises making them an [[SharedUniverse adjunct universe]], and to prevent such a level of backlash again, one of the producers confirmed that more MCU movies were in development before the film was released.
** The story of this movie was supposed to take place after ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', but delays caused by COVID-19 forced some rewrites to allow ''No Way Home'' to occur before that film.
** Seamus [=McGarvey=] was originally going to be the cinematographer for the film, making it the first Marvel film he had shot since Film/TheAvengers2012 in 2012. However, he was forced to depart the project due to testing positive for COVID-19, and was replaced with Mauro Fiore.
** The story of this movie was going to focus on Kraven the Hunter hunting down Peter Parker on the run as a "Plan B" if {{the Multiverse}} route didn't pan out, since it wasn't clear if key actors necessary to tell the Multiverse story were going to participate. It was ultimately dropped because [[ExecutiveVeto Sony refused to allow Kraven to appear in a Spider-Man movie before his solo film was released.]] Had the Kraven story been chosen, the multiversal villains would've only appeared in TheStinger for this movie.
*** One rumored version of this story had Peter arrested and sent to jail for Mysterio's death, where he would have been protected by the Vulture. While being transported to another prison, Peter's bus is attacked and he escapes, initiating the chase between him and Kraven. During this time, Norman Osborn, who is Mayor of New York City here, would be working to get Peter freed and exonerated. Peter and Kraven would have a climatic fight where Kraven reveals that he's dying and wants Peter to kill him. Peter spares him instead and learns that Mysterio is still alive and behind these events. Peter would confront and defeat Mysterio and help clear his name with Osborn's help, whose popularity would skyrocket because of it. The film would end with Peter going to Dr. Strange with the idea of erasing his identity, but would be left on a cliffhanger in case Sony or Marvel decided otherwise.
** The original plan for the film's marketing was to present the movie as if it were about the conflict between Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, keeping the multiverse aspect a complete secret up until the movie's release. But after the leaks started pouring out, Sony changed course and made the multiverse aspect the main selling point, although the "Spider-Man vs. Doctor Strange" angle was still used to an extent, since their confrontation is one of the film's biggest set pieces.
** Creator/KirstenDunst and Creator/EmmaStone were also planned to have cameos as Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy that were cut due to the pandemic and the latter's pregnancy. There were also briefly plans to bring back Creator/RosemaryHarris and Creator/SallyField as Aunt May.
** Rhino was apparently intended to appear in the film as well, so the multiversal villains could form a version of the Sinister Six, but Creator/PaulGiamatti was unable to join the production.
** The writers revealed that Eddie Brock was originally meant to join the final battle, until they realized that Peter Parker doesn't exist in his world, so it wouldn't make sense for him to battle Spider-Man.
** Apparently, [[https://www.instagram.com/reel/CXrPHlHJl2V/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=f89b8e2e-a4f5-4ed3-8822-de7b83d6e38b&ig_mid=F4D4ADAE-6A22-4604-8377-C87328A3B613 a scene involving Morgan Stark was planned, but got cut.]]
** Concept art reveals that Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez was apparently planned to make an appearance, most likely when ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' was meant to come out first instead of the other way around. It's possible that she could have used her powers to bring the other Spider-Men into the plot instead of Ned. The concept art in question also hints that larger roles were planned for Flash and Betty.
** Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin were initially going to team up during the bridge battle, and would've attacked innocent civilians who were there in order to make the battle more epic. The initial battle between Octavius and Peter was also going to be much longer, clocking in at around 15 minutes.
** If concept art is to be believed, [[https://twitter.com/BrandonDavisBD/status/1486043643093962759?s=20 Mysterio was going to make an actual reappearance in this film]], where he would've engaged in a WizardDuel with Doctor Strange at the Statue of Liberty. There were also early plans for him to have been the villain who would've murdered Aunt May before the climax of the film before he was excised, with his role being given to the Green Goblin in the movie proper.
** The possibility of Matt Murdock actually suiting up as Daredevil to help Spider-Man in battle was discussed, but ultimately discarded due to being narratively unnecessary.
** The Green Goblin wasn't initially planned to be the CrossoverVillainInChief of the film, instead merely being part of the BigBadEnsemble. However, as other plans for returning characters fell through, the writers realized that the Goblin was really the only option they had for an overall BigBad of the story.
** Concept art shows that Flint Marko was planned to appear in his human form with a new outfit at some point, notably replacing his striped green shirt with an orange vest. The final product only has him appearing in CGI and StockFootage from ''Film/SpiderMan3'' due to Creator/ThomasHadenChurch being physically unable to appear on-set due to COVID protocols.
** COVID protocols also affected [[spoiler:Aunt May's death scene]], which was originally conceived as happening inside of an ambulance rather than in the remains of Happy's condo.
** MJ and Ned were planned to be at Happy's condo for the scene when the Goblin reemerges and causes Peter's plan to go off the rails. However, the writers eventually decided to remove them as it would've been very difficult to figure out what to do with both of them in the chaos, on top of their presence taking attention away from the villains.
** Production briefly considered trying to reuse Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield's original suits before deciding to make new ones from scratch[[note]]Maguire's suits, at least, had all deteriorated too badly[[/note]] with slight modifications from the original designs to make them more comfortable for the actors.
** Early concept art for the Lizard showed that he would've had a more comic-accurate appearance in the film. He would look more beastly, have a more reptilian face complete with a elongated snout, and wear his signature lab coat and purple pants.
** At one point when trying to incorporate Eddie Brock and Venom into this film, the writers of this film tried to get him to appear earlier in the story, even considering an idea where he [[https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a39712421/spider-man-no-way-home-venom-alternate-role/ gets stuck in the Lincoln Tunnel]] on the way to the Statue of Liberty fight.
** VFX supervisor Kelly Port reveals [[https://youtu.be/6d8p-ls4MIg in a video with Corridor Crew]] that Matt Murdock originally caught a snow globe in his scene, which was changed to a brick in post-production. If you look closely, you can see that both Charlie Cox and Tom Holland's fingers are spread out as though gripping something spherical.
** Despite being DemotedToExtra in the finished film, Sandman [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-WVBlqV2VA was originally meant to have a subplot of his own]] about him and his daughter Penny, last seen in ''Film/SpiderMan3'' (it's unknown whether Perla Haney-Jardine was going to reprise the role or if Penny would have been recast), which would have explained why was Sandman stuck in his sand form for most of the film, but it was dropped from the film to not "overstuff" the story and because of Church not being able to be on-set due to COVID protocols.
** ''Spider-Man: No Way Home -- The Art of the Movie'' artbook revealed a number of discussed and drawn out yet discarded ideas. Among them were a possible belt/fanny pack for the Iron Spider armor, more comic accurate costumes for Doc Ock and the Lizard, various designs for Norman's final Goblin armor (including one that used pieces of the Iron Man Mark-VI armor, and one that used salvaged [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld Dark Elf]] armor with a more goblin-esque mask), Ned riding the Goblin Glider and holding a Pumpkin Bomb (as a nod to his comic role as one of the Hobgoblins) and alternate eye piece designs for Peter's [[spoiler:homemade]] Spidey costume with homages to Alex Ross' old discarded design, Creator/ToddMcFarlane's eye piece designs and Mark Bagley's eye piece design.
** At some point, MJ was going to be the one who cured Norman Osborne, with concept art showing her stabbing the Goblin with the cure in the neck just as he's stabbing Peter-1 in the chest with his blade.

** The Green Goblin wasn't initially planned to be the CrossoverVillainInChief of the film, instead merely being part of the BigBadEnsemble. However, as other plans for returning characters fell through, the writers realized that the Goblin was really the only option they had for an overall BigBad of the story.
** Concept art shows that Flint Marko was planned to appear in his human form with a new outfit at some point, notably replacing his striped green shirt with an orange vest. The final product only has him appearing in CGI and StockFootage from ''Film/SpiderMan3'' due to Creator/ThomasHadenChurch being physically unable to appear on-set due to COVID protocols.
** COVID protocols also affected [[spoiler:Aunt May's death scene]], which was originally conceived as happening inside of an ambulance rather than in the remains of Happy's condo.
** MJ and Ned were planned to be at Happy's condo for the scene when the Goblin reemerges and causes Peter's plan to go off the rails. However, the writers eventually decided to remove them as it would've been very difficult to figure out what to do with both of them in the chaos, on top of their presence taking attention away from the villains.
** Production briefly considered trying to reuse Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield's original suits before deciding to make new ones from scratch[[note]]Maguire's suits, at least, had all deteriorated too badly[[/note]] with slight modifications from the original designs to make them more comfortable for the actors.
** Early concept art for the Lizard showed that he would've had a more comic-accurate appearance in the film. He would look more beastly, have a more reptilian face complete with a elongated snout, and wear his signature lab coat and purple pants.
** At one point when trying to incorporate Eddie Brock and Venom into this film, the writers of this film tried to get him to appear earlier in the story, even considering an idea where he [[https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a39712421/spider-man-no-way-home-venom-alternate-role/ gets stuck in the Lincoln Tunnel]] on the way to the Statue of Liberty fight.
** VFX supervisor Kelly Port reveals [[https://youtu.be/6d8p-ls4MIg in a video with Corridor Crew]] that Matt Murdock originally caught a snow globe in his scene, which was changed to a brick in post-production. If you look closely, you can see that both Charlie Cox and Tom Holland's fingers are spread out as though gripping something spherical.
** Despite being DemotedToExtra in the finished film, Sandman [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-WVBlqV2VA was originally meant to have a subplot of his own]] about him and his daughter Penny, last seen in ''Film/SpiderMan3'' (it's unknown whether Perla Haney-Jardine was going to reprise the role or if Penny would have been recast), which would have explained why was Sandman stuck in his sand form for most of the film, but it was dropped from the film to not "overstuff" the story and because of Church not being able to be on-set due to COVID protocols.
** ''Spider-Man: No Way Home -- The Art of the Movie'' artbook revealed a number of discussed and drawn out yet discarded ideas. Among them were a possible belt/fanny pack for the Iron Spider armor, more comic accurate costumes for Doc Ock and the Lizard, various designs for Norman's final Goblin armor (including one that used pieces of the Iron Man Mark-VI armor, and one that used salvaged [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld Dark Elf]] armor with a more goblin-esque mask), Ned riding the Goblin Glider and holding a Pumpkin Bomb (as a nod to his comic role as one of the Hobgoblins) and alternate eye piece designs for Peter's [[spoiler:homemade]] Spidey costume with homages to Alex Ross' old discarded design, Creator/ToddMcFarlane's eye piece designs and Mark Bagley's eye piece design.
** At some point, MJ was going to be the one who cured Norman Osborne, with concept art showing her stabbing the Goblin with the cure in the neck just as he's stabbing Peter-1 in the chest with his blade.

** After Creator/JamieFoxx and Creator/AlfredMolina confirmed that they would be reprising their roles as Electro and Doctor Octopus, respectively, many fans predicted that Creator/WillemDafoe would also be returning as the Green Goblin, which the first trailer and teaser poster confirmed.
** This process later repeated for Creator/RhysIfans and Creator/ThomasHadenChurch as their respective iterations of The Lizard and Sandman.
** The idea of Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield appearing as their respective versions of Spider-Man was planted not only by the premise and trailers -- "Tom Holland's Spider-Man faces down villains from previous continuities, reprised by those actors" -- but by the existence of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', where a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover was one of the film's central conceits... but the one thing we never ''actually'' got was Multiple Peter Parkers.[[note]]There were only two, and they were NotAsYouKnowThem.[[/note]]
