| 11 | * ActingForTwo: |
| 12 | ** In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Philippe Maia voices both Mysterio and Matt Murdock. |
| 13 | ** In the Japanese dub, Nakamura Shidō II voices both Max Dillon/Electro and [[spoiler:Eddie Brock/Venom in TheStinger]]. |
| 14 | ** The European French dub has Jérémie Covillault voice both Doctor Strange and [[spoiler:Eddie Brock/Venom in TheStinger]]. |
| 15 | * ActingInTheDark: |
| 16 | ** 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. |
| 17 | ** Meanwhile, Creator/BenedictCumberbatch admitted to not reading the full script, wanting to surprise himself with the final product. |
| 18 | * ActorInspiredElement: |
| 19 | ** It was Creator/TomHolland's idea that Peter's suit would get wrinkled beneath the Iron Spider suit when he arrives on the freeway to look for the MIT vice chancellor. |
| 20 | ** Creator/TobeyMaguire requested that very little be revealed about the events of his Peter's life since the end of his trilogy. Thus, while Creator/AndrewGarfield's Peter speaks of who he became in the aftermath of his duology, Raimi-Verse Peter offers only one personal detail: that [[EarnYourHappyEnding he worked things out with Mary Jane]]. |
| 21 | ** Creator/BenedictCumberbatch suggested Dr. Strange stumble over his words, saying "We" when he mentions everyone who knows and loves Peter (which, naturally, would include Strange himself). In response, Jon Watts plainly said, "That's gonna be in the film." |
| 22 | * ActorSharedBackground: The film reveals that Ned is of Filipino-descent, much like Creator/JacobBatalon himself. |
| 23 | * AllStarCast: MCU mainstays like Creator/TomHolland and Creator/BenedictCumberbatch reprise their roles as superheroes Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, respectively. Actors who played integral supporting roles in previous MCU-set Spider-Man films like Creator/{{Zendaya}}, Creator/MarisaTomei, Creator/JonFavreau, and Creator/JacobBatalon also reprise their respective roles. And of course, actors who played roles in previous Spider-Man film continuities – like Creator/AlfredMolina, Creator/JamieFoxx, Creator/WillemDafoe, Creator/ThomasHadenChurch, Creator/RhysIfans, and Creator/JKSimmons – reprise their characters in this film too. Previous Spider-Man actors Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield return too, and to put the cherry on top of it all, Creator/CharlieCox cameos as Matt Murdock and [[spoiler:Creator/TomHardy returns as Eddie Brock and Venom]] in TheStinger. |
| 24 | * 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". He also was impressed with Creator/TomHolland's portrayal of Peter Parker, which reaffirmed his love for Spider-Man overall. |
| 25 | * AwesomeDearBoy: |
| 26 | ** Creator/AndrewGarfield (who has been [[https://uproxx.com/movies/andrew-garfield-spiderman-pressure-canning-coke/ vocal about his disdain]] towards the way production was handled for ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'') openly jumped at the chance to portray Peter Parker again, as he was genuinely excited at the notion of sharing the screen with both Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/TomHolland as Spider-Man while also eager to tie up loose ends left at the end of [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 his last solo film]]. |
| 27 | ** In regards to Creator/TobeyMaguire, who's generally stayed away from the big screen in recent years, he agreed to portray Peter Parker again as he was intrigued by the pitch to play Spider-Man alongside two other versions of the character and that the movie would be one giant celebration towards what makes the character so beloved. |
| 28 | ** Creator/AlfredMolina, Creator/JamieFoxx, and Creator/WillemDafoe were very excited to get to come back and play their respective villains again. |
| 29 | *** Foxx in particular was pleased that Electro wasn't going to retain the blue appearance he had in ''[=TASM2=]'', [[PromotedFanboy and that he got to share the screen with some of his all-time favorite actors]]. |
| 30 | *** Dafoe was excited that he would get to play a large role as the Green Goblin once again after only appearing in cameos after the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' film, as well as being able to do as many of his own stunts as possible. |
| 31 | *** Molina, in the meantime, joked that he was [[MoneyDearBoy only in it for the paycheck]] before confirming that he genuinely liked the story a lot before signing on. |
| 32 | ** Creator/JKSimmons had enjoyed playing J. Jonah Jameson in Creator/SamRaimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'', and admitted to being heartbroken that he wouldn't be able to revisit the character in a fourth movie. Naturally, when Marvel approached him to reprise his role in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'''s stinger and this film, he jumped at the chance. Simmons also expressed excitement in adapting Jameson to the modern-day era, describing him more as a media blowhard than a newspaper editor. |
| 33 | * BannedInChina: For this film to be released in their country, China demanded that all the scenes that took place on the Statue of Liberty, or otherwise had it in frame, to be removed. Understandably, Sony refused to comply as the entire last quarter of the film takes place on the landmark, leading the film to be banned there. |
| 34 | * BillingDisplacement: |
| 35 | ** 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 that of the three villains. |
| 36 | ** Creator/BenedictWong is included in the closing credits despite only appearing in a single scene, and is even billed higher than MCU Spider-Man mainstay Creator/TonyRevolori. In contrast, both Creator/ThomasHadenChurch and Creator/RhysIfans are ''not'' in the credits despite being two of the film's antagonists, nor is Creator/JKSimmons, despite having more screen time than Revolori, who is DemotedToExtra. |
| 37 | * CashCowFranchise: The movie smashed the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic era opening weekend record, and it ended up the ''second-highest of all time'' globally behind ''Film/AvengersEndgame''. It then reached $1 billion worldwide by Christmas (the first to do so since ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' back in 2019-early 2020) and surpassed both of the first ''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers]]'' [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron films]] by mid-January 2022, as a testament to the enduring popularity of Franchise/SpiderMan. It's especially significant since, up to this point, 2021 had been quite middling for Creator/MarvelStudios films outside of the domestic performance of ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings''. This time, though, it's Creator/SonyPictures that reaps most of the benefits (and, indeed, the film became Sony's largest ever both domestic and worldwide), though a new deal struck between Disney and Sony in 2019 means that Disney reaps a much larger percentage of the profits than they did for ''Homecoming'' and ''Far From Home'' (25% vs. 5%). Even more notably, ''No Way Home'' didn't make a penny from China, which had helped push ''Far From Home'' across the $1 billion mark, but still became the highest-performing ''Spider-Man'' film to date. |
| 38 | * ColbertBump: |
| 39 | ** Due to the premise of having villains from previous ''Spider-Man'' films appearing, numerous fans began watching them to understand the context of the films for a better understanding. Sony anticipated this and rereleased all of the films, including the extended ''Spider-Man 2.1'' and the Editor's Cut of ''Spider-Man 3'', on 4K Blu-Ray for the first time for those who wanted them in that format. |
| 40 | ** Thanks to their song "The Magic Number" being used in the end credits, Music/DeLaSoul gained a huge amount of recognition from this film. |
| 41 | * ContentLeak: ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' is a serious contender for the dubious honor of being the leakiest superhero movie ever, much to the stress of the cast and crew who had to regularly dance around or falsely deny certain elements that they were asked about pre-release. To wit: |
| 42 | ** Creator/JamieFoxx's involvement was revealed in October 2020, with it being confirmed that he'd return as Electro and starting the trend of people learning things that they weren't supposed to know ahead of the release of the film. Creator/AlfredMolina and Creator/WillemDafoe's involvement as Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin were also reported by the fansite [[https://thegww.com/alfred-molina-returns-as-doctor-octopus-in-spider-man-3/ Geeks]] [[https://thegww.com/willem-dafoe-spotted-on-set-for-untitiled-spider-man-3/ WorldWide]] before later being confirmed by trades, while fellow fansite [[https://www.theilluminerdi.com/2020/12/14/spider-man-3-willem-dafoe-church/ The Illuminerdi]] also confirmed the return of Dafoe and Creator/ThomasHadenChurch as Sandman. Creator/RhysIfans was eventually revealed to be involved as the Lizard through later leaks, but his and Church's involvement were only directly confirmed by trades just after the final trailer arrived, about a month out from the film's release. |
| 43 | ** Following the announcement of his involvement, Foxx jumped the gun by revealing fan art of the ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse''-inspired crossover with his character, along with the three live-action Spider-Men, included in the picture. This, of course, gave away Marvel's [[CrisisCrossover real intent with the film]], and he quickly took it down. |
| 44 | ** The involvement of Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield was first reported [[https://collider.com/spider-man-3-cast-doc-ock-alfred-molina-andrew-garfield/ a full year before the release of the film]]. |
| 45 | ** The teaser trailer leaked a day before its intended release date, albeit in poor quality and with unfinished visual effects. Weeks before that, a plot leak describing details from the first act -- which were later verified by the trailer -- got out. |
| 46 | ** Photos of Norman Osborn, Otto Octavius, and Max Dillon's new character designs also leaked out around the same time, albeit without digital enhancements. (Octavius, for instance, has four blue bulbs on the back of his trenchcoat where his metal arms would be and no digital de-aging "makeup" applied.) Later, a pre-vis shot of the aforementioned characters, plus CGI versions of Sandman and Lizard, leaked out to the internet. |
| 47 | ** Behind-the-scenes footage of Creator/AndrewGarfield in front of a bluescreen -- along with a tiny bit of Creator/TobeyMaguire's costumed hand -- leaked out at a later point. While some attempted to pass the video off as a deepfake, a number of elements in the video were impossible to fake, and the leak was very much real. ''That very shot'' was completed months later, and appears in the finished film, as Andrew's Spidey asks Tobey's Spidey if he's ever had a "web block". |
| 48 | ** John Campea leaked out a shot of Tobey, Andrew, and Tom as their respective Spider-Men on the scaffolding of the Statue of Liberty, and a shot of Matt Murdock meeting with Peter Parker, Aunt May, and Happy Hogan, believing them to be fanmade images. They instead turned out to be ''very'' real and got a copyright takedown, and Campea fell into hot water with Sony. |
| 49 | ** The film's full soundtrack leaked about two weeks in advance of the release date. The audio that leaked was verified shortly afterward when users tried reuploading music from it to other sites and faced copyright takedowns. It was further verified when some of Creator/MichaelGiacchino's score was released as singles on Spotify, which proved to be identical to the leaked OST. This doubled as a MusicalSpoiler for those still doubting the involvement of Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield, given that both Music/JamesHorner's "Promises" and Music/DannyElfman's "Responsibility" {{leitmotif}}s appear in track 19. |
| 50 | * CreatorBacklash: Not so much towards the film itself as the film's publicity tour. Creator/TomHolland stated that he, along with other members of the cast, were annoyed about having to lie about the content of the movie for the sake of artificially preserving secrets that had already leaked onto the Internet and were more or less common knowledge to the fandom at large. Holland has also expressed frustration with the [[TroubledProduction unpredictable filming process]] caused by both the previously mentioned on-set secrecy and the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, particularly the constant changing of the third act. |
| 51 | * DeletedRole: |
| 52 | ** 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. The full scene was restored in the More Fun Stuff Version, and features various passersby giving Spider-Man comments of both criticism and support after he webs up the dealer. |
| 53 | ** Lexi Rabe revealed on [[https://www.instagram.com/reel/CXrPHlHJl2V/ her Instagram]] that she filmed a scene as Morgan Stark that didn't make it to the final cut of the movie. |
| 54 | * DeletedScene: Several, some of which were restored in the More Fun Stuff Version. |
| 55 | ** 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. This was restored in the More Fun Stuff Version. |
| 56 | ** A second scene with Matt Murdock representing Happy while he's under investigation was also deleted from the original cut. This scene also featured Happy seeing the villains enter his condominium via doorbell camera footage on his phone, which leads to him calling Peter about it later in the movie. |
| 57 | ** Betty Brant's interviews with her fellow classmates and high school faculty on the revelation of Peter's secret identity were originally slated to be in this film as well, as a montage. Most of them ended up being repurposed as episodes of Brant's "Burning Questions" series on the Daily Bugle [=TikTok=] account. |
| 58 | ** 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, this was one of the scenes that ''wasn't'' restored in the More Fun Stuff Version. |
| 59 | ** 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, the aforementioned "More Fun Stuff Version" likely being the reason. |
| 60 | * DemandOverload: Minutes after tickets went on sale on "Spider-Monday" (November 29, 2021), multiple major movie chains and ticket distributors were completely overwhelmed, with queue lines lasting hours set up moments after sales began, on a scale not seen since ''Film/AvengersEndgame''. This is particularly impressive considering the fact that the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, which took a huge toll on the film industry, was very much still a notable threat dampening the overall box office at the time -- especially with the rise of the more contagious Omicron variant. |
| 61 | * DescendedCreator: Jon Watts himself did much of the motion capture for Sandman whenever the character appeared. |
| 62 | * DevelopmentGag: |
| 63 | ** Sony's backup plan was a smaller-scale film with Kraven the Hunter as the main threat. [[spoiler:When other ''Spider-Man'' villains from the multiverse start to show up in silhouette form, Kraven is the first to appear. Scorpion, who was also rumored to appear in that pitch for the film, appears alongside him.]] |
| 64 | ** Creator/SamRaimi intended to eventually use Curt Connors/The Lizard as a villain for his [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy film series]] back in the day. Here, Raimi's Spider-Man is mostly fighting the Lizard (from ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'') during the beginning of the FinalBattle. In fact, Raimi's Spider-Man is Lizard's infamous invisible attacker in the Brazilian trailer. |
| 65 | ** Creator/TobeyMaguire suffered a back injury while shooting ''Film/{{Seabiscuit}}'' that caused problems with shooting ''Film/SpiderMan2'', enough so that serious debates were had over recasting the role. Apart from Raimi including a bit in ''2'' where Tobey's Peter hurts his back, it receives another nod here when his Peter discusses the back issues he's developed over the years with Garfield's Peter. |
| 66 | ** When Electro sees ''his'' Peter unmasked, he briefly remarks that he assumed Spider-Man was black and is a little disappointed to find out he's white, and remarks that a black Spider-Man has to exist somewhere. Besides being a MythologyGag towards Miles Morales, it also calls to attention the fact that, prior to Garfield's casting, an online campaign started calling for Marvel/Sony to cast an African-American actor for the role, with Creator/DonaldGlover being singled out specifically, and it was this that inspired the creation of Miles in the comics in the first place. |
| 67 | ** Back in TheNineties, when Creator/JamesCameron was working on a ''Spider-Man'' movie, the main antagonists were supposed to be Sandman and Electro (which resulted in the characters being AdaptedOut from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'', until the movie was scrapped and a different version of Electro appeared in the final season). This movie has Electro and Sandman chatting and exchanging their respective origins stories in Happy's apartment, seemingly getting along with each other. |
| 68 | ** 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. The Goblin also wears a pair of goggles in the climax of this film, which look [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_MdoyMGmQ remarkably similar]] to Otto's goggles in ''Film/SpiderMan2'', which Creator/WillemDafoe also wore while pranking Creator/AlfredMolina on the set of that movie. |
| 69 | ** The way the movie lingers on Peter 3 (Andrew Garfield) saying that creating an antidote for the Lizard is "no big deal" since he's done it before has led some to believe that the line was a reference to Sony wanting his Spider-Man to have the phrase as a [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]] in an attempt to make him YoungerAndHipper, as revealed in the 2014 Sony data hack. |
| 70 | * DyeingForYourArt: |
| 71 | ** Creator/JacobBatalon lost a staggering 102 pounds for his role in this movie, although he's indicated that shedding that weight was also a lifestyle choice. |
| 72 | ** Creator/WillemDafoe has commented that, before there was even a script, when he was approached to reprise Osborn, he agreed -- [[NoStuntDouble if he could be allowed to perform his own stunts again]], as he felt that his performance as the Goblin needed a physical connection to the on-screen image for him to better embody the character. Creator/JonWatts and Amy Pascal had little choice but to agree.[[note]]Keep in mind that while this wasn't as much of an issue two decades before, by 2021 Dafoe was in ''his mid-sixties'' and still eager to go.[[/note]] |
| 73 | ** As usual, Creator/TomHolland had to get back in [[HeroicBuild Spider-Man shape]] after portraying a heroin addict in ''Film/{{Cherry|2021}}''. |
| 74 | ** Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield had to put in a lot of work in order to look good in their suits. Both noted that it was harder for them to get in shape as they're no longer in their 20s. |
| 75 | * EnforcedMethodActing: |
| 76 | ** According to [[https://youtu.be/DdhLBZpIq2c this video]], the VFX crew actually built a rig for suspending Creator/PaulaNewsome in her car mid-air in the Alexander Hamilton bridge fight scene, where Doc Ock tosses the MIT Assistant Vice Chancellor’s car away and Spider-Man catches the car with his webbing. The look of fear and discomfort on her face is very real. |
| 77 | ** According to Creator/{{Zendaya}}, Creator/TomHolland and Creator/JamieFoxx, 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. |
| 78 | ** MJ's crying upon realizing [[spoiler:that she has to forget her Peter at the film's climax]] did have some authenticity to it: Creator/{{Zendaya}} admitted to have been in tears during much of the filming process because of [[spoiler:how tragic the ending was.]] |
| 79 | ** Creator/AlfredMolina admitted that Doctor Octopus's joy upon reuniting with his incarnation of Peter Parker was reflective of his own feelings on seeing Creator/TobeyMaguire again for the first time in over a decade. |
| 80 | * ExecutiveMeddling: |
| 81 | ** The scene where [[spoiler:Andrew Garfield's Peter saves MJ]] originally had a choir providing background music. Tom Rothman requested that the background music be muted entirely during the scene instead, allowing it to be much more impactful. |
| 82 | ** The writers were not allowed to use Kraven the Hunter in this film as originally planned, as Sony was adamant that his solo film be released before he confronts Spider-Man. |
| 83 | * FakeAmerican: |
| 84 | ** This film has quite a number of British actors portraying New Yorkers. In particular, Creator/TomHolland, Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, Creator/AlfredMolina [[note]]As of 2004, he's an American citizen and he maintains it alongside his British nationality.[[/note]], Creator/AndrewGarfield, Creator/CharlieCox, and [[spoiler:Creator/TomHardy]] all put on American accents as MCU Peter Parker, Doctor Strange, Doctor Octopus, Webb-verse Peter Parker, Matt Murdock, and [[spoiler:Eddie Brock]] respectively. |
| 85 | ** Australian Creator/AngourieRice put on an American accent [[DemotedToExtra in her sole scene]] as Betty Brant. |
| 86 | * FlipFlopOfGod: Around the time of the release of ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', Creator/KevinFeige (and even Creator/{{Zendaya}} herself) confirmed that Michelle "MJ" Jones was not the MCU's version of Mary Jane Watson, but an original character with her nickname serving as a MythologyGag. His perspective seems to have changed significantly since then, given that it's revealed that her full name is Michelle Jones-Watson in ''No Way Home'', and the denizens of the other universes seem to recognize MJ as this Peter's equivalent of Mary Jane Watson or Gwen Stacy. |
| 87 | * HeyItsThatSound: |
| 88 | ** The trailer occasionally uses the web shooter sound effects from ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' rather than the MCU web shooter sounds. |
| 89 | ** Tobey and Andrew's Peters in the film also notably use the web shooter sound effects from ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' and ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' respectively. |
| 90 | ** It's subtle, but when the Goblin makes his appearance at the Statue of Liberty, the spider-sense sound effect from ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' plays when Tobey's Peter reacts. |
| 91 | * LyingCreator: |
| 92 | ** Poor Creator/AndrewGarfield was flooded with questions about his involvement in the film, which he consistently denied even as they overshadowed the press tours of ''Film/TheEyesOfTammyFaye'' and ''Film/TickTickBoom''. He even had to lie to Creator/EmmaStone when she asked him if he was in the film during their private conversations. Creator/TomHolland eventually lied by claiming that he and Creator/TobeyMaguire would not be returning when pressed for details, [[TrollingCreator noting that he would hope to make a film with them one day]]. (And he said this only three days after the soundtrack leak featured their character themes.) |
| 93 | ** 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 during the lead-up to the film claimed that, when they asked about it, he hinted at his involvement in an off-the-record, NDA-friendly fashion. That said, in a behind-the-scenes interview, he said he had to keep the extent of his involvement under wraps and had to hide the fact that he did wirework and stunts, too. |
| 94 | ** When asked of whether Matt Murdock would appear in this film, Creator/CharlieCox claimed that it was not the case, and speculated that an appearance from the character might be detrimental to him, as it would mean he would have to portray a LighterAndSofter version of Daredevil than what fans were familiar with on Netflix. And yet, Mr. Murdock does appear in this film, [[SmallRoleBigImpact albeit only as a brief but meaningful cameo.]] |
| 95 | * MemeAcknowledgement: The marketing team released an image of the film's three live-action Peter Parker actors (Creator/TomHolland, Creator/AndrewGarfield, and Creator/TobeyMaguire) recreating the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/508cd06a_dd09_47c4_bbea_d21bae30ff68.jpeg Spider-Man pointing meme]] by posing similarly to it while in costume. |
| 96 | * MilestoneCelebration: |
| 97 | ** Though it's slightly early, the film was released in December 2021, which was a few weeks before 2022 -- the year of the 60th anniversary of the ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' franchise, the 20th anniversary of the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' film, and the 10th anniversary of ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''. In some markets, the film was first released in the 2022 proper. In any case, the film makes a big show of the occasion by going all-out with [[CrisisCrossover featuring cast members from those respective film continuities]] [[RoleReprise reprising their roles]]. |
| 98 | ** This film was also released in 2021, the 5th anniversary year of Tom Holland's Spider-Man's debut in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' back in 2016. |
| 99 | * MissingTrailerScene: |
| 100 | ** The original teaser features Wong telling Strange point-blank not to cast the spell, saying it's too dangerous. Strange assures him [[BlatantLies he won't]], only to wink slyly at Peter once Wong's left through the portal. This was replaced in the movie proper with Strange sincerely pleading to cast the spell on Peter's behalf, saying he's been through enough. Wong relents and tells Strange to leave him out of it before exiting through the portal. |
| 101 | ** When Peter asks if he can call Strange "Stephen", the final film is missing the [[{{Beat}} awkward pause]] from the teaser trailer before Strange agrees. |
| 102 | ** The line of Jameson saying of the Lizard "Was that a dinosaur?" is not in the final version of the film. In the final film, he says instead "Did you see that?" |
| 103 | ** Peter and MJ's video chat is missing the back-and-forth "How do you tell someone that you're Spider-Man?" portions featured in the trailer. |
| 104 | * NewbieBoom: |
| 105 | ** The movie's synopsis having the appearance of villains from the previous ''Spider-Man'' films has caused a rise of viewers checking them out to get them caught up with who's who. Tellingly, all five of Raimi's and Webb's Spider-Man films filled the top searches on Creator/{{Netflix}} in certain regions at the time of release. |
| 106 | ** It also gave ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}'' a boost in interest with its Matt Murdock cameo, in combination with [[spoiler:''Series/{{Hawkeye|2021}}'' featuring Kingpin in two episodes that aired within a week of ''No Way Home'''s release]]. |
| 107 | * NoStuntDouble: Creator/WillemDafoe was adamant to Amy Pascal and Creator/KevinFeige that he wanted a significantly beefy part if he were to reprise his role as the Green Goblin. He was also just as passionate as he was in the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' movie about performing his own stunts despite now being in his mid-sixties, and he insisted on doing as many of them as possible. |

| 110 | |
| 111 | [[folder:O-Y]] |
| 112 | * TheOtherDarrin: |
| 113 | ** In the Latin Spanish dub: |
| 114 | *** Creator/LuisDanielRamirez does not reprise either of his past roles (Creator/TobeyMaguire's Spider-Man from the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' or Creator/JakeGyllenhaal's Mysterio), due to being banned from the dubbing studio, VSI Mexico City, following several accusations of sexual harassment. Both roles were recast with Creator/VictorUgarte and Daniel del Roble, respectively. |
| 115 | *** Christian Strempler, who also had conflicts with VSI Mexico City, did not reprise his role of Mr. Harrington, being replaced by Roberto Salguero. |
| 116 | *** Likewise, Matt Murdock is voiced by Sebastián Rosas, instead of Sebastián Plaza or Óscar Olivares who dubbed the character in the Netflix series, which was dubbed Chile, while this film was dubbed in Mexico. |
| 117 | ** In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Doctor Octopus' voice in ''Spider-Man 2'', Roberto Macedo, is retired, so ''No Way Home'' has 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 was 92 at the time and the studio would probably give him a chance to rest rather than endanger him in pandemic times). |
| 118 | ** In the European French dub, Matt Murdock is voiced by Creator/SylvainAgaesse instead of Creator/BernardGabay, as the latter already had a prominent role in the Creator/MarvelStudios side of the MCU, that of Tony Stark/Iron Man. |
| 119 | ** In the Russian dub, Peter-3 was voiced by Evgeny Rubtsov instead of Sergey Smirnov while Doctor Octopus was voiced by Igor Staroseltsev instead of Sergey Parshin. In the case of the former, it's because Smirnov passed away in 2020. |
| 120 | ** In the Canadian French dub of the Sam Raimi trilogy, the Green Goblin was voiced by Guy Nadon while Doctor Octopus was voiced by Luis de Cespedes. Here, they are instead voiced by Sébastien Dhavernas and Creator/ManuelTadros respectively. In the case of the latter, it's because de Cespedes passed away in 2013. |
| 121 | ** 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 Matt Murdock were recast too for unclear reasons, though Octopus' original voice was used in the trailers. |
| 122 | * PopCultureUrbanLegends: As a result of certain leaks that claimed [[spoiler:Raimi-verse Peter would be KilledOffForReal in the final battle]], some people believe that [[spoiler:he was originally supposed to die from the Goblin stabbing him]], only for it to be changed after negative reactions from test screenings. The leaks themselves are the only ones supporting this claim, and every one that stated this plot point in particular was proven false -- for instance, the leaks incorrectly claimed that [[spoiler:Ned would also die in the final battle]], and while they did accurately predict Matt Murdock's return, not only was this predicted anyways by more accurate leaks, they also incorrectly placed his appearance at the ''end'' of the film as opposed to the beginning (and most noticeably [[spoiler:completely left out the mass memory wipe that occurred at the end of the film]]). All in all, there is nothing that indicates [[spoiler:Raimi-verse Peter getting stabbed was ever meant to kill him]]. |
| 123 | * PromotedFanboy: |
| 124 | ** Creator/JamieFoxx had long been a fan of both Creator/WillemDafoe and Creator/AlfredMolina, and was nothing short of ecstatic to co-star alongside them in this movie. By his own admission, Foxx would constantly bow every time he would meet up with Dafoe behind the scenes. |
| 125 | ** Both Creator/AndrewGarfield and Creator/TomHolland were huge fans of Creator/TobeyMaguire and his portrayal of Spider-Man, making their excitement to be onscreen together all the more genuine. By his own admission, Garfield calls Maguire "my Spider-Man." |
| 126 | * RealitySubtext: |
| 127 | ** When meeting MCU Peter after [[spoiler:May's death]], the Webb-Verse Peter confesses that he became bitter and disillusioned with his life as Spider-Man after [[spoiler:Gwen's death]], and doesn't want his younger counterpart to go down the same path. In interviews following the cancellation of the ''Amazing Spider-Man'' series, Creator/AndrewGarfield frequently expressed [[CreatorBacklash sadness and disappointment]] with how he and those films [[ExecutiveMeddling were treated by the studio]], and hoped that Creator/TomHolland would not have to endure the same negative experience with his own films. |
| 128 | ** Meanwhile, the Raimi-Verse Peter telling the Webb-Verse Peter that he is [[TitleDrop amazing]] is this, too, as when Creator/AndrewGarfield was officially cast as Spider-Man, Creator/TobeyMaguire [[https://collider.com/tobey-maguire-andrew-garfield-amazing-spider-man-interview/ interviewed Garfield]] and said he thought Andrew was "[[ApprovalOfGod fucking perfect]]" for the role. |
| 129 | ** When Webb-Verse Peter bemoans that his counterparts have had much more interesting exploits than he has, Raimi-Verse Peter assures him he's still more than worthy of the mantle, with the subtext that while ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' movies aren't as revered as the iterations that sandwich it, Creator/AndrewGarfield is still part of the fraternity nevertheless and is treated as such. |
| 130 | ** Likewise, Webb-Verse Peter comes off as the most enthusiastic of the three, extremely fascinated by the multiversal situation he had found himself in and super-jazzed to be meeting the other Spider-Men, especially Raimi-Verse Peter. Creator/AndrewGarfield, being a longtime PromotedFanboy of Spider-Man, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gStihpTR0SM revealed]] on ''Series/TheGrahamNortonShow'' that, while he was in drama school, he watched the Raimi films and often practiced Creator/TobeyMaguire's lines -- and is now given the chance to not only return as the character, but act alongside the Spider-Man of his young adulthood. |
| 131 | ** Creator/AlfredMolina revealed that he really got emotional upon meeting Creator/TobeyMaguire again after decades, and their characters have a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming reunion]] of their own. |
| 132 | * RealLifeRelative: Creator/TomHolland's little brother Harry was supposed to cameo as a drug dealer in this movie, much like he did in ''Film/{{Cherry|2021}}'', but shortly before the film was released Tom revealed in an interview that [[DeletedRole the scene had been cut]]. |
| 133 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: According to [[https://thedirect.com/article/spider-man-no-way-home-actor-sandman-set The Direct]], Creator/RhysIfans and Creator/ThomasHadenChurch were only able to reprise their respective roles as the Lizard and Sandman as voice actors due to COVID-19 protocols preventing them from physically being on set. This is why Curt Connors and Flint Marko only appear in their transformed states for much of the film, with their reverse transformations into their human forms consisting of StockFootage from their previous appearances. |
| 134 | * RealSongThemeTune: "The Magic Number" by Music/DeLaSoul plays over the end credits. |
| 135 | * ReferencedBy: |
| 136 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'': While Gwen Stacy and Miguel O'Hara fight a displaced variant of the Vulture from another universe, the latter mentions [[Characters/MCUStephenStrange Doctor Strange]] and "[[Characters/MCUPeterParker the little nerd back on Earth-199999]]", referencing the events of this film. |
| 137 | ** ''Series/WheelOfFortune'': On the March 23, 2022 episode, this movie is the featured prize and a trailer is shown. |
| 138 | * RefittedForSequel: |
| 139 | ** Creator/TomHolland, Creator/AndrewGarfield, and Creator/TobeyMaguire were all considered to have cameos in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', where the three live-action Spider-Men would briefly interact, but this idea was scrapped with Sony executives reasoning that it was "too soon". Three years later, the three iterations of the character are properly brought together for a CrisisCrossover in ''No Way Home''. |
| 140 | ** The original plans for the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' 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. |
| 141 | ** There were prior plans to integrate the Sam Raimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' universe early in the MCU, with Stark Industries being involved in the creation of Octavius tentacles in early drafts of ''Film/IronMan'' and there was an attempt to include a cameo of Tobey's Spider-Man in ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'', but rights issues prevented them from doing so, but this film finally gets to incorporate the Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy into the MCU |
| 142 | *** Likewise there were attempts to integrate ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' as part of the MCU with an EarlyBirdCameo of Oscorp Tower in ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', but the film was far ahead in post-production that it was too late to integrate the tower into New York's skyline. |
| 143 | * ReleaseDateChange: |
| 144 | ** One of the countless victims of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic in this regard. Initially slated for July 16, 2021, the film's release shifted twice: first to November 5, and then to the final date of December 17. In the UK this changed for a fourth time, as the release date was moved to December 15 just weeks beforehand. |
| 145 | ** Got significantly worse for Filipino fans (who had to wait until January 8,) as the movie's worldwide release meant that, not even counting the effects of the Pandemic itself, the initial theatrical release ran in conflict with the movie schedules related to the Metro Manila Film Festival. |
| 146 | * RoleEndingMisdemeanor: In the Latin-American dub, Creator/LuisDanielRamirez doesn't return to voice Tobey Maguire's version of Spider-Man due to being banned from various dubbing studios after sexual harrasment accusations from other voice actresses. He is replaced by Creator/VictorUgarte, who already voiced Spider-Man in ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2018''. |
| 147 | * RoleReprise: Tons. |
| 148 | ** From Sam Raimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'': |
| 149 | *** Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/WillemDafoe return as Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Norman Osborn / Green Goblin, from all three films. In doing so, they break the record previously held by Creator/HughJackman and Creator/PatrickStewart for the longest run playing a Marvel character in film. |
| 150 | *** Creator/AlfredMolina returns as Otto Octavius / Doctor Octopus from ''Film/SpiderMan2''. Notably, he confirmed his role in an interview months before the first trailer came out. He too breaks a record, for the longest gap between appearances. |
| 151 | *** Creator/ThomasHadenChurch returns as Flint Marko / Sandman from ''Film/SpiderMan3''. |
| 152 | ** From ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'': |
| 153 | *** Creator/AndrewGarfield returns as Peter Parker / Spider-Man from both films. |
| 154 | *** Creator/RhysIfans returns as Curt Connors / The Lizard from ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''. |
| 155 | *** Creator/JamieFoxx returns as Max Dillon / Electro from ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''. |
| 156 | ** 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). |
| 157 | ** 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 Creator/MarcioSimoes (Sandman and Nick Fury), Jorge Lucas (Norman and James Rhodes) and Eduardo Borgeth (Lizard and Vision). |
| 158 | ** Likewise, while Peter 2's original voice didn't come back, the Latin Spanish dub brought back the voice actors for all the villains, as well as Javier Olguín as Peter 3, and Creator/HumbertoSolorzano as J. Jonah Jameson. |
| 159 | ** In the Japanese dub, Manabu Ino and Creator/TomoakiMaeno reprise their respective roles as Peter-Two and Peter-Three. Creator/NaoyaUchida returns as Dr.Connors/The Lizard. |
| 160 | ** Every single European French voice actor from the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' and ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' reprised their role, with the addition of [[spoiler:Eddie Brock/Venom from ''Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse'']]. |
| 161 | ** The Canadian French dub featured nearly all of the voice actors from the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' and ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' (as well as [[spoiler:Eddie Brock/Venom's voice actor from ''Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse'']]), with the only exceptions being the ones for Doc Ock and Osborn. Although in the case of the latter, it still counts as a role reprise given that his voice actor in this movie, Sébastien Dhavernas, also voiced Creator/ChrisCooper's Osborn in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''. |
| 162 | *** The same happens in Russian dub, but instead of Osborn, the voice of Peter-3 was replaced. |
| 163 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/TomHolland and Creator/{{Zendaya}} began dating at some point during this film's production. This means that all three Spider-Man actors have been involved with their respective leading ladies.[[note]]Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst dated for a short while after filming ''Spider-Man'' (and when Maguire injured his back, Jake Gyllenhaal was briefly considered for the role, who was dating Dunst at that point), while Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone had an on-off relationship over the course of five years after meeting on the set of ''The Amazing Spider-Man''.[[/note]] |
| 164 | * ScullyBox: At 5'10", Creator/{{Zendaya}} is taller than both Creator/TomHolland and Creator/TobeyMaguire (both 5'8") and only slightly shorter than Creator/AndrewGarfield (who is 5'10½"). The movie makes her look closer to Maguire's height and shorter than Garfield in the high school lab scenes. |
| 165 | * SequelGap: Being a crossover between multiple versions of Spider-Man, it comes fourteen years after ''Film/SpiderMan3'', and seven years after ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''. |
| 166 | * SpoiledByTheMerchandise: The film revolving around the multiverse was meant to be a closely guarded secret, but listings for some tie-in toys that used phrases like "Blast your way into another universe" and "potentially multiversal consequences" made their way onto retail sites a few weeks before the first trailer dropped. |
| 167 | * TeasingCreator: |
| 168 | ** When asked about his possible involvement in ''No Way Home'', Creator/WillemDafoe refused to confirm or deny whether he was reprising his role as the Green Goblin from the original ''Spider-Man'' trilogy. His return was confirmed with the film's first trailer and teaser poster. |
| 169 | ** After TheStinger of ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' saw [[spoiler:Eddie and Venom transported into the MCU, witnessing Spidey's identity being exposed in ''Far From Home'']], Creator/KevinFeige did clarify that the ''No Way Home'' team collaborated on that particular scene, hinting at [[spoiler:Venom's]] possible involvement. [[spoiler:Sure enough, Eddie puts in an appearance proper -- albeit in a short post-credits scene teasing a Black Suit arc for the MCU.]] |
| 170 | * ThrowItIn: |
| 171 | ** The line where Webb-verse Peter spontaneously tells the other Spider-Men that he loves them was not scripted. |
| 172 | --->'''Andrew Garfield:''' That was just me loving them. |
| 173 | ** Garfield also revealed that MJ throwing bread at him to test his spider-sense was improvised by Zendaya. |
| 174 | ** In an interview with Creator/TobeyMaguire, Creator/AndrewGarfield and Creator/TomHolland, Holland confirmed that [[SustainedMisunderstanding the three Spider-Men]] [[MemeAcknowledgment pointing at each other]] was Garfield's idea. Garfield himself noted that the scene was initially meant to shorter and more sardonic, with Peter-1 originally lampshading the OneSteveLimit trope, but he tweaked it to what we got in the film because he thought the moment was "adorable". |
| 175 | ** Creator/JamieFoxx improvised Max admitting to Peter-3 that he thought the latter would be black, per Creator/TomHolland's words. |
| 176 | * TrollingCreator: |
| 177 | ** While the involvement of Creator/TobeyMaguire or Creator/AndrewGarfield had not been confirmed at the time, Creator/JBSmoove has stated [[https://heroichollywood.com/jb-smoove-tobey-maguire-spider-man-no-way-home/ he is excited to see Tom Holland's version of Spider-Man team up with Tobey Maguire's version in this film]]. |
| 178 | ** During a Website/{{Reddit}} AMA session, Creator/TopherGrace, who played Eddie Brock/Venom in ''Film/SpiderMan3'', was asked if he will be in the movie, and [[https://screenrant.com/spiderman-no-way-home-topher-grace-return-response/ this]] was his response. Keep in mind that he wasn't involved in the movie in any capacity. |
| 179 | --->[[JustBetweenYouAndMe Please keep it between us]] [[BlatantLies but yes]], I am in it. The plot starts with Peter Parker (Creator/TomHolland) bummed that everyone knows his identity and then some crazy shit happens with Dr. Strange and Dr. Octopus (Creator/AlfredMolina) comes into his dimension. Then Electro and the Green Goblin hop out of one of those "energy circles" and they're like [[LargeHam "It's spider stompin time"]]. Then Creator/TomHardy and I pop out and battle each other and I win [[BadassBoast (obvi)]], it's like [[CurbStompBattle not even a fight I just kick his ass immediately]]. Not to give too much away but there are also some actors from the original '70s ''[[Series/TheAmazingSpiderMan1978 Spider-Man]]'' show, [[Film/Aquaman2018 Aquaman]] and Batman ([[Creator/BenAffleck Affleck]], not [[Creator/MichaelKeaton Keaton]]) crossover, and thanks to Creator/{{Disney}} Han Solo's ghost from ''[[Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker Rise of Skywalker]]'', and that Eve robot from ''WesternAnimation/WallE''. Again, please keep between us. |
| 180 | ** [[spoiler:The mid-credits scene -- pulling Eddie Brock and Venom back into their universe before they can actually do anything -- feels like a gigantic {{troll}} on the part of Marvel Studios for fans anticipating Venom being a CanonImmigrant into the MCU, as hinted at in ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' -- although it does set up a Symbiote story arc for the MCU proper.]] |
| 181 | * UncreditedRole: [[spoiler:Creator/TomHardy]] was uncredited for his appearance in the mid credits scene as [[spoiler:Eddie Brock]]. |
| 182 | * ViralMarketing: In the lead-up to this film, ''The Daily Bugle'' created a [=TikTok=] account, with Betty Brant running it. |
| 183 | * WagTheDirector: |
| 184 | ** To make up for the fact that his character was now bald, Creator/JKSimmons insisted on keeping J. Jonah Jameson's cigar and mustache for this film, due to wanting to have some aspects from his portrayal in Creator/SamRaimi's trilogy to carry over in the MCU. |
| 185 | ** Both Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield gave input on their characters' respective journeys after their previous onscreen appearances, with Maguire specifically requesting that "very minimal" backstory be given on what happened to his Peter Parker after ''Film/SpiderMan3''. |
| 186 | ** While details weren't elaborated, it is reported that Creator/TomHolland fought for elements in the ending to be included in the final product. |
| 187 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/SpiderManNoWayHome See here.]] |
| 188 | * WordOfGod: A few months after this film's release, Creator/KevinFeige indicated that the events of this film were set into motion due to the season finale of ''[[Series/Loki2021 Loki]]'', which is when the multiverse came into existence in the first place. |
| 189 | * WordOfSaintPaul: Two major elements with the returning villains were confirmed by their respective actors before they were officially revealed in the trailers: |
| 190 | ** After ''The Hollywood Reporter'' scooped the fact that Creator/JamieFoxx was returning as Electro, Foxx revealed in an Instagram post that the character wouldn't be blue as he was in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''. Foxx soon deleted the post after realizing that he jumped the gun. This was later verified in the teaser trailer, which showed Electro shooting yellow blasts of lightning. |
| 191 | ** In an interview with ''Variety'', Creator/AlfredMolina confirmed that the Doctor Octopus in this movie is the same one from ''Film/SpiderMan2'', with his story picking up directly from his supposed death at the end of that movie. |
| 192 | * WorkingTitle: Shot under the codename "Serenity Now". |
| 193 | * WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Due to an expedited production schedule and the nature of the movie bringing back certain cast members who hadn't played their respective characters in years, some of the cast was not signed on when filming began (with Creator/TobeyMaguire believed to be one of the last of the major players to sign on), which affected the continuity of certain scenes and when certain characters could first appear in the story. The third act was also heavily rewritten during production for this reason and others, with later reshoots being done to help smooth things over. |
| 194 | * WrittenByCastMember: In a way. Writers Chris [=McKenna=] and Erik Sommers revealed in [[https://www.ign.com/articles/spider-man-no-way-home-was-shaped-by-its-biggest-surprises-tobey-maguire-andrew-garfield-tom-holland an interview]] that Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield became de facto creative consultants for the script, specifically what kind of roles their respective Spider-Men play in the film and what should be known about the lives their characters had after the conclusions of their original film series. |
| 195 | * YouSoundFamiliar: There are '''many''' examples of this in the Latin Spanish dub: |
| 196 | ** Creator/VictorUgarte, the voice of Peter-2, had previously voiced Kurt in the ''Film/AntMan1'' films. |
| 197 | ** Javier Olguín, the voice of Peter-3, was also the voice of Baron Zemo in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' and ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier''. |
| 198 | ** Creator/JesseConde, who has voiced Creator/StanLee in all of his MCU cameos, also reprises his role as Norman Osborn / The Green Goblin. |
| 199 | ** Creator/GabrielPingarron, who voiced Odin in all of his appearances, also reprised his role as Doctor Octopus. |
| 200 | ** Creator/RaulAnaya, who voiced the older Howard Stark, returned to his role as Flint Marko / Sandman. |
| 201 | ** Creator/SalvadorDelgado, who voiced Dr. Erik Selvig in ''Film/{{Thor}}'' and ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', also came back as Electro. |
