Trivia: !SPOILERS! Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield gave a lot of notes on their characters, which the writers gratefully accepted. For example, Maguire didn't want too much revealed about what's been happening with his Peter, aside from the fact that he was still with Mary Jane. (Presumably to leave his adventures up to the fans' imaginations.) And Garfield wanted his Peter to be a bit more ferocious/emotional compared to his first two films to show how Gwen Stacey's death changed him.

Trivia: !SPOILERS! Despite their prominent appearances in the film, being featured in most of the third act in multiple major sequences, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were actually only on-set for a surprisingly short two weeks. For reference, filming for the entire movie took just over five months, meaning they were on-set for less than 10% of the total shoot.

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: 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 Alert: When Sandman and Lizard are cured and turned back into humans, the footage of them in their human forms is actually digitally manipulated stock footage and alternate takes from their respective original films. Ex. When Sandman turns human, it's using manipulated stock footage from the subway fight scene in "Spider-Man 3." When Lizard is turned human, it appears to be an alternate angle/B-roll from footage featured in the final battle of "The Amazing Spider-Man."

Trivia: !MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"Spider-Man: No Way Home" features the first on-screen appearance of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man in 14 years, since the release of "Spider-Man 3" in 2007. It also features the first on-screen appearance of Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man in 7 years, since the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" in 2014. The film's multiverse-based story allowed them to return and interact with one-another and Tom Holland's version of the character.
