Trivia: Jon Watts is the first director in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to complete a trilogy of films.
Suggested correction: The Spider-man trilogy aren't technically MCU films although Spiderman has appeared in MCU films and characters from MCU have appeared in this. As Spider-man is still own by Sony...at this point its just character cross-overs and little else. MCU still don't have full ownership of Spider-man yet.
That's incorrect. All 3 films were co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios and distributed by Sony. Tom Holland's Spider-Man IS part of the MCU because Sony shared the rights to the character and the films are not only set in the MCU, but part of the franchise. It should be noted that Marvel Studios and the MCU are two separate things. The MCU doesn't really own anything because it's the setting, not the company.
Trivia: Following the release of the film, Guinness World Records recognized Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe as having the longest careers portraying live-action Marvel characters, clocking in at 19 years and 225 days, surpassing the 16 years and 232 days record previously held by Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart for their respective roles of Wolverine and Charles Xavier from the X-Men franchise. This record was later reclaimed by Patrick Stewart, and then surpassed by Wesley Snipes.
Trivia: Before the release of this film, the original 2002 "Spider-Man" movie was still the highest grossing solo-Spider-Man film domestically at $407 million, and had been for nearly 20 years. It was finally surpassed by this film on only its ninth day of release. (And this is despite being released during the pandemic when the box office was generally underperforming).
Trivia: There are two credits scenes. In the mid-credits scene, Eddie Brock is warped back to his universe (paying off the mid-credits scene from "Venom: Let There Be Carnage"), but inadvertently leaves a small portion of the Venom symbiote behind in the MCU universe. The post-credits scene is the teaser-trailer for "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," which was subsequently released online a few days after the movie's premiere.
Trivia: Tom Holland confirmed that director Jon Watt borrowed directorial elements from previous "Spider-Man" films for this movie to pay tribute to them. For example, he sometimes tried to mimic the frenetic movement and quirky camera angles of Sam Raimi, who famously directed the original "Spider-Man" movie trilogy from 2002-2007 and is well-known for his unique camerawork.
Trivia: SPOILER: Near the end of the film when the fabric of reality has been torn open and Spider-Man villains from other universes are preparing to enter, one of the silhouettes shown is of the Rhino in a more comic book accurate outfit than the mechsuit he donned in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. A silhouette of Scorpion is also visible just before Rhino.
Trivia: This was the first post-pandemic film to both earn more than $100 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend and at least $1 billion globally. Even with an ongoing pandemic, it managed to have the second highest domestic opening of all time at $260 million. It was also only the third movie to earn at least $800 million at the domestic box office.
Trivia: Tobey Maguire has a crescent-shaped scar on his right cheek. The actor has always had this scar, and while small it is noticeable in his films if not covered with make-up. It is notably visible in all 3 of the Sam Raimi Spider-man films. After the battle at the Condo with Green Goblin, Peter has many injuries on his face. One of these injuries just so happens to be a crescent-shaped cut of the exact same size, shape and location on his right cheek as Tobey Maguire's real scar.
Trivia: Peter disrupts Strange's spell 5 times, resulting in the same number of multiversal villains appearing in this universe. Strange initially erroneously states that Peter disrupted the spell 6 times. This is likely a reference to the supervillain team that Spider-Man frequently faces in the comics: the Sinister Six.
