Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home actually seems to be thrilling, nevertheless it feels like issues had been equally thrilling on the opposite aspect of the digital camera, too—particularly when it comes to the film’s casting, which can maintain a clue to a number of the shock cameos which may be within the movie.

In a prolonged and fairly attention-grabbing interview with GQ, Tom Holland revealed a number of info concerning the making of the film, all with out spoiling something straight. First, because the film was supposed to return out earlier than Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness however obtained moved up resulting from covid-19, the script wanted a rewrite. But even then, in response to Holland, in the course of the shoot the script was being rewritten on an “almost daily” foundation. Holland additionally wished a rewrite on one of many large moments in the course of the closing a part of the film (which is able to nearly actually be a struggle scene, this can be a Marvel film in any case). From GQ: “I kept stopping and being like, ‘I’m so sorry, I just don’t believe what I’m saying.’ ” The director, Jon Watts, took him apart, and Holland informed him: It wasn’t me. The scene was mistaken. “We sat down, we went through it, and we came up with a new idea,” Holland says. “Then we pitched it to the writers, they rewrote it, and it works great.”

But the casting appears to have been the largest problem. Thanks to the latest trailer, we obtained affirmation {that a} bevy of previous Spider-Man film villains can be within the film alongside Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, together with Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx’s Electro, Rhys Ifans’ Lizard, and Thomas Hayden Church’s Sandman (which, in the event you’re counting, is one member in need of a Sinister Six—leaving area for the Michael Keaton’s Vulture from the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Tom Hardy’s Venom from Sony’s Spider-Man-adjacent movies).

The movie’s casting wasn’t simple, in response to Holland, “Some people were trying to figure out whether they wanted to do it, and we needed all of them or none.” He may simply be speaking concerning the villains right here, and he very nicely could also be. But if I can bask in a little bit of baseless hypothesis, I feel No Way Home may get away with out displaying the faces of Dafoe, Ifans, or Sandman, the primary of which may very well be performed by any stuntman within the go well with, and the latter two may seem solely in CG. Also, there are different choices together with Paul Giamatti’s Rhino, Bokeem Woodbine’s Shocker, Jared Leto’s upcoming Morbius, or perhaps a new Spider-Man villain from one of many multiverses we haven’t seen. Basically, it doesn’t appear to be an “all or nothing” scenario, or at the least it didn’t must be.

But if the rumors are to be believed, and Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s incarnations of Peter Parker can be displaying up within the movie, I can simply see them being a package deal deal. They’d both each should be within the movie or neither of them. And given Andrew Garfield’s heartbreak over his aborted stint as Spidey in The Amazing Spider-Man motion pictures, it’s simple to grasp why he would wrestle with whether or not he would wish to placed on the masks once more.

While we’re speculating, we additionally must deal with the 25-year-old Holland’s emotions about his future as Spider-Man. “Maybe it is time for me to move on. Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film. I have to take Peter Parker into account as well, because he is an important part of my life. If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.”

It could be tremendous-easy to introduce Miles in a film about multiverses stuffed with Spider-Men, and I wouldn’t put it previous Marvel to handle to solid a personality that vital to the franchise and handle to maintain it a secret. But it additionally looks as if No Way Home is kind of jam-packed sufficient, and the introduction of Miles—and the passing of the Spider-torch is vital sufficient to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that it deserves its personal film. But who is aware of? Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theaters on December 17.
