Ok so Spider-Man No Way Home has been breaking the bank and as of now the film is the highest
grossing movie this side of the pandemic.
The film brought together twenty years worth of franchises in order to tell a story that
bridged the multiverse and brought across several Peter Parkers and also the characters
villains.
It's one of the best experiences I've had in a cinema well...ever...and though Andrew
Garfield has finally started talking about how he's the werewolf, we hadn't heard much
from Tobey and Tom.
That is until now.
Sound a bit sinister there but last night Sony dropped a big talk between the trio on
their Spider-man Youtube channel.
Throughout this video we're gonna be going over the main talking points whilst also discussing
what it means for the actors and if they could be returning.
(woo)
Now the first main talking point was Tobey discussing how he got involved in the project
and the first conversation that he had around coming back.
Tobey said that after Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige pitched the idea to him that it was
very much a celebration of what had come before but that for him it very much went beyond
that.
(part 2)
Now Tobey, much like Andrew had his version of the webhead shelved rather than being completed.
If you cast your mind back to the aftermath of Spider-Man 3, there was very much talk
of a fourth movie being developed and we even had storyboards for it leak last year which
showed a final battle between the wall crawler and the vulture.
Unfortunately due to creative differences, Sam Raimi stepped back from the project and
as we know, the character was then rebooted with Andrew Garfield.
One of the more interesting things that Tobey says though is that it's not a closing of
of the chapter and we have heard rumblings behind the scenes that Sony are planning on
bringing both Garfield and Maguire back.
This reportedly would be a project in which they'd be in it from the start and it would
explore them more indepth.
The creative team behind the film actually revealed recently that they had several post
credit scene ideas showing the pair on their own worlds but these were taken out by the
studio.
Normally this is done when there are plans for things going ahead but they don't want
to lock themselves into anything and I definitely think at the very least that one of the actors
will return in an upcoming film.
Now Andrew actually talked about coming back for the film and he said that it pretty much
all hinged on Tobey's shoulders.
(part 3)
Now I
definitely agree with Andrew take on the mentorship thing.
In the build up to the film you might remember that we talked about how the movie would be
pulling from storylines like One More Day and also Happy Birthday.
In the latter, Peter ends up interrupting one of Doctor Strange's spells and this breaks
open the multiverse.
He travels into it and finds a version of himself from the past and future, the latter
of which provides a warning not go down a certain path.
This is definitely an element that is brought up in the film as Tobey stops Tom from killing
the person that murdered the parental figure in his life and Andrew saves the woman that
he loves which stops him from having a Gwen Stacy moment.
It's great to see and another element that Andrew mentioned was how it was more than
them just coming on screen, saying hello and then going.
One of my big worries in the build up to the film was that the pair would just show up
for the final battle but they do get a lot of big character moments in the movie which
I think is what makes it so special.
Now having actors of these stature who'd played Spider-man in the past coming into your film
was obviosuly also big for Tom Holland and he went over what it was like watching them
join the project.
(part 4)
Now in the build up to this movie, there were a lot of leaks and reports talking about how
all three were coming back.
Andrew Garfield constantly kept denying he was in the movie and it almost got the point
that it was a meme.
(not the werewolf)
The interviewer asked how he managed to keep it all a secret, especially as he was out
there doing press for most of the year and here's what he had to say.
(part 5)
Now I completely agree with Andrew and even though I was fairly confident that both he
and Tobey were gonna be in it I did have doubt in the back of my mind about it.
I even texted a friend who got invited to the premiere asking if they were in it and
they just replied saying 'what do you think?'
They didn't reply after that and I was sat for about 6 hours thinking 'crap, I've told
everyone they're in it and they're not, gonna have to shut down the whole channel and come
back as Henry Spoilers.'
Coming out like if someone told you I was Kevin spoilers, someone lied.
There was a massive reaction seeing the pair back on screen and I think that the film definitely
enhances the main emotional story.
Like Andrew says, it does somewhat feel like an MCU Peter Parker origin story and that
final swing especially in his home made costume is given more weight because we now know that
the character is out there on his own, rather than having the guiding forces that so many
of the MCU movies have been criticised for giving him.
Tobey too discussed the ending and what he thought that it meant for not only Tom but
also the characters that guided him.
(part 6)
Now if you enjoy the video then don't be a spider-menace, hit that thumbs up button you
chump or I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye.
If subscribers were crackers then my daughter would be fat so why also click that button
too to stick around at the channel.
If this is your first time here, then welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host
Paul aka your friendly neighbourhood spoiler-man now let's get into the rest of the video.
Now seeing the three spider-men on screen in the same frame was a major moment and Garfield
talked about how he didn't really get it at first when they were hyping it up.
Looking at it from his perspective he said he didn't fully understand how special it
was until director Jon Watts showed them the frame of the three on the scaffolding.
(part 7)
Tobey talked about his time on the film and what it meant to be playing the character.
(part 8)
Lastly the interview closed out with Tom talking about what the future for his Peter Parker
would be and though he kept tight lipped about what the plans were and he said that he genuinely
didn't know.
Tom has had to lie a lot in the press tour for Spider-man No Way Home but he stated that
he was genuinely telling the truth and that he would even be happy if this was goodbye
for his version.
He said that he did want to continue playing Spider-man but if his arc was to end with
him jumping off a building and swinging off into the sunset...or rather night sky then
he'd be happy with that.
I don't think that he will be done and we of course had that tease of the black suit
at the end of the film.
There's so many different directions that they can take things in his college years
and it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens now that MJ and Ned are moving
to Boston.
I can't wait and I'm sure you can't either but until then I'd love to hear your thoughts
