History Trivia / SpiderManNoWayHome

* ActingInTheDark: Creator/TomHolland mentioned that numerous actors would hide themselves in cloaks during production to avoid spoiling their appearances in the movie. One of them was Creator/WillemDafoe, and Holland accidentally bumping into him while cloaked was how the two first met on-set. Meanwhile, Creator/BenedictCumberbatch admitted to not reading the full script, wanting to surprise himself with the final product.

** Creator/TomHolland's brother Harry originally had a cameo in the film as a drug dealer that Spider-Man catches before being "rewarded" with a splash of green paint on his suit from a Mysterio believer. The scene itself was cut, but a snippet of Spider-Man getting paint on him was kept in as a newsreel.

* DeletedScene:
** The movie had an UncomfortableElevatorMoment filmed, but it ended up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARXUHxI6BcA deleted]]. Aunt May, Peter Parker, Norman Osborn, Max Dillon, Flint Marko, and Otto Octavius are taking the lift together to Happy's apartment, making for quite the awkward ride. Especially since Doc Ock, front and center, is still wrapped in his own tentacles, and even ''one tentacle tip'' seems to be following the unspoken protocol. A fight with Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin on his glider was also filmed, but left out of the movie.
** Unfortunately, the home release of the movie doesn't contain ''any'' of the known deleted scenes other than using some footage of them in other special features for some reason. [[https://youtu.be/mc1s9SRA4L4 A "more fun stuff version"]] has been announced, whether or not it will have all the Deleted scenes remains to be seen.

** The original plans for the first ''Film/SpiderMan'' movie was to feature both Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin as major villains, but only Green Goblin made it to the final cut of the film. Now, this film features both Doc Ock and Green Goblin as major antagonists.

** Relatedly, there was talk of having Mysterio, the Rhino or even Tom Hardy's Venom appear as part of the VillainTeamUp in order to get a full Sinister Six roster together onscreen, but this was ultimately decided against.

** Jesse Conde, who has voiced Creator/StanLee in all of his MCU cameos, also reprises his role as Norman Osborn / The Green Goblin.

** Gabriel Pingarrón, who voiced Odin in all of his appearances, also reprised his role as Doctor Octopus.

** With the exception of those mentioned in TheOtherDarrin, the Brazilian Portuguese dub keeps the voice actors the characters above had in their previous appearances, even those who already voice other characters in the MCU (who don't appear in this movie, except for the one mentioned in ActingForTwo above), like Márcio Simões (Sandman and Nick Fury), Jorge Lucas (Norman and James Rhodes) and Eduardo Borgeth (Lizard and Vision).

** In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Doctor Octopus' voice in ''Spider-Man 2'', Roberto Macedo, is retired, so ''No Way Home'' has fellow BadassBaritone Mauricio Berger taking over the role. And like in ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'', J. Jonah Jameson has a new voice (Carlos Gesteira) because his regular dubber, José Santa Cruz, had injured himself and couldn't go to the studio (even if he's 92 and the studio would probably give him a chance to rest rather than endanger him in pandemic times).

** Unfortunately, the home release of the movie doesn't contain ''any'' of the known deleted scenes other than using some footage of them in other special features for some reason.

** Reportedly avoided with Creator/TobeyMaguire, as he's much more of a ReclusiveArtist in real life, and so never got many instances of being publicly asked about his appearance in the film. Some fans who took photos with him claimed that, when they asked about it, he hinted at his involvement in an off-the-record, NDA-friendly fashion.

** Raúl Anaya, who voiced the older Howard Stark, returned to his role as Flint Marko / Sandman.

** [[spoiler:Creator/TomHardy showing up as Eddie Brock/Venom was also highly anticipated, especially after TheStinger of ''Film/VenomLetTherBeCarnage'' had the two of them warping to the MCU inexplicably.]]

* ApprovalOfGod: Creator/SamRaimi was absolutely thrilled to see the actors he worked with on his own Spider-Man trilogy reprise their roles in this film, finding the experience of seeing them on-screen again "refreshing".

* BannedInChina: For this film to be released in their country, China demanded that all scenes that took place on the Statue of Liberty, or otherwise had it in frame to be removed. Understandably, Sony refused to comply, leading to the film to be banned there.

*** Likewise Daredevil is voiced by Sebastián Rosas, instead of Sebastián Plaza or Óscar Olivares who dubbed the character in the Netflix series, this being because the Netflix shows were dubbed in Chile, while this film was dubbed in Mexico.

** In the European French dub, Daredevil is voiced by Sylvain Agaësse instead of Bernard Gabay, as the latter already had a prominent role in the MCU (Tony Stark).
** The Hungarian dub had to recast [=Norman Osborn/Green Goblin=] as both his original voice actor and his replacement have passed away (in 2007 and 2015 respectively), as well as J. Jonah Jameson, whose original voice died in 2014. Despite their dubbing actors still being available, both Doctor Octopus and Daredevil were recast too for unclear reasons, though Octopus' original voice was used in the trailers.

** Unfortunately, the home releaase of the movie doesn't contain ''any'' of the known deleted scenes other than using some footage of them in other special features for some reason.

** The European Spanish Dub manages to get back ''literally all'' the voice actors from both the Sam Raimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' AND ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries''[[note]]The only exception being J. Jonah Jameson, who is voiced by Jordi Varela instead of Lluis Marco, albeit this change was made in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''[[/note]], starting with Roger Pera as Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, a.k.a. Peter 2, and Iván Labanda as Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, a.k.a. Peter 3. Funnily enough, this includes actors who had also voiced other characters in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse before[[note]]Mostly due to the fact that they are the regularly dub these actors in other movies as well[[/note]]. Pera himself voiced Bruce Banner / Hulk when the character was played by Creator/EdwardNorton, but more noteworthy would be Juan Antonio Bernal, AKA the Spaniard voice for Tony Stark / Iron Man, who voices Max Dillon / Electro. The cake though is taken by Salvador Vidal as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin, who also voiced Hank Pym and General Ross, being the only voice actor in the franchise thus far to have voiced ''three'' different characters (although, fortunately, never in the same movie).

** In the Brazilian dub, Philippe Maia voices both Mysterio and Matt Murdock.

** In the Brazilian dub, Doctor Octopus' voice in ''Spider-Man 2'', Roberto Macedo, is retired, so ''No Way Home'' has fellow BadassBaritone Mauricio Berger taking over the role. And like in ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'', J.

** The first Raimi ''Spider-Man'' film had Creator/AlexRoss coming up with some concept art for Spidey and the Green Goblin. It seems that ''No Way Home'' took heavy inspiration from Ross's [[https://preview.redd.it/f68me3guokb21.jpg?auto=webp&s=6db9e377c61c51bdd8a58c5751a1ea0070ee2807 design of Goblin]] because the [[https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/045/140/650/large/rob-brunette-snwh-portfolio-greensmall.jpg?1642009280 tattered hood look Dafoe's Goblin sports]] is remarkably similar.

** According to Creator/{{Zendaya}} and Creator/TomHolland, Creator/WillemDafoe's portrayal of the Green Goblin in this movie genuinely frightened ''everyone'' on-set, making the characters' reactions to the Goblin's appearance in the actual film all the more real.

** That both Creator/CharlieCox and [[spoiler:Creator/TomHardy]] would appear as Matt Murdock and [[spoiler:Eddie Brock/Venom]] respectively.

** Relatedly, there was talk of having Mysterio, the Rhino or even Tom Hardy’s Venom appear as part of the VillainTeamUp in order to get a full Sinister Six roster together onscreen, but this was ultimately decided against.

** Creator/JonFavreau is billed higher than Creator/JamieFoxx, Creator/WillemDafoe, and Creator/AlfredMolina despite Happy Hogan having a much smaller role in this film than those of the three villains.
