"Spider-Man: No Way Home": The Producers Revealed How They Convinced The Cast Of The Old Films To Join Them
Three generations of Spider-Man movies meet in the new Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Marvel Cinematic Universe's Peter Parker (Tom Holland) battles multiversal villains from previous universes created by Sam Raimi and Marc Webb.
After being unmasked by Mysterio in Far From Home, Peter seeks Doctor Strange's help in order to make the whole world forget his secret identity. As we all know from the trailers, the spell fails, bringing in some well-known supervillains from other universes who know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man in the MCU, including Green Goblin from Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2, and Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man. And of course, the surprises don't just end there.
"Getting everybody to agree with you about the cool, big idea," he answered after being asked about the biggest challenge filming this new work. "'Hey, we have an idea. Will you come sign up and be in this movie?' 'Cool! Can I read the script?' 'No.' That was the hardest part. And that's where Amy, who calls anyone anywhere at any time, is a master producer at making things happen."
According to Pascal, introducing their project to potentially skeptical actors meant reassuring them about coming back for key roles, not just some cameos to make the film hotter.
"The parts were real," Pascal said."That I was there with them the first time and would be again, that I have too much respect for them and all the work we did together over the years."
Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: No Way Home has just been released in theaters on December 17, 2021. The cast of the film includes Tom Holland, Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zendaya, Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, Marisa Tomei, Thomas Haden Church, Rhys Ifans, Benedict Wong, JK Simmons, JB Smoove, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr, Tony Revolori, and Hannibal Buress.
