Spider-Man: No Way Home is filled to the brim with cameos, heartfelt storytelling, and memorable moments. It made you wonder how much we might expect from the Blu-ray release of what didn’t make it into the film, as 100 minutes of bonus content was teased early on. Insider Amit Chaudhari has seemingly released the entire list of special content, which includes the various deleted scenes. what stands out is “Happy’s Very Good Lawyer” which may tease an extension of Charlie Cox‘s return as Matt Murdock.

There also seems to be an extended interrogation sequence as well as more of Peter’s return to Midtown High. Of course, there are no exact details included to what the names mean and it doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily get more of Cox, but it may hint at how he ended up as Peter’s lawyer in the film. You can check out the full list right here:

Amit has been reliable in the past, and it’s unsure if the list might still undergo some changes ahead of its home and digital release. 100 minutes of No Way Home is certainly an exciting prospect and it makes you wonder if we’ll see more of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. It would be fun to get some small snippets from behind-the-scenes footage that teases their grins wearing the iconic outfits again. We’ll see what it has in store for fans once it releases.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Earlier Drafts Featured More Matt Murdock

There were a lot of exciting moments in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In the earliest scenes, we get a cameo by Charlie Cox, who made his grand return as Matt Murdock. The film’s writers, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers recently appeared in an episode of The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith. They revealed that they initially planned to feature the blind lawyer in more scenes, but wanted to keep a stronger focus on Spider-Man.

Ultimately, we always had to pull back on a lot of things to just make sure we maintained our focus.

It does make sense that they wouldn’t want to add more to the already massive film. With appearances from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, familiar villains from Spider-Man‘s cinematic history, and Doctor Strange, the fact he even appeared seems like a miracle. Even if we only got one scene featuring the character, it was quite the memorable one with his “I’m a very good lawyer” line.

Of course, we hope to see more of Cox‘s character in the near future, as Marvel Studios starts to embrace the Netflix characters. We don’t know what the future has in store, but they might have some big plans for the fan-favorite characters. Here’s hoping they might reveal at some point if we might’ve even seen Murdock suit up as Daredevil at one point in the film#s production.

New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Concept Art Offers Closer Look at Unused Villain Designs

Spider-Man: No Way Home has been dominating the box office, as it combined a heartfelt story with the right amount of nostalgia to keep things interesting. Of course, a big part of that is due to the returning villains that many of us grew up watching on the silver screen. Concept artist Christian Cordella has offered a closer look at some of the designs that the characters had at one point in development, such as a new jacket for Doc Ock.

.

That’s not all, as we also got a closer look at how they originally envisioned Green Goblin and even Sandman. While Osborne’s design is quite close to what we saw in the film, the latter was envisioned to appear as a human throughout No Way Home. It seems Thomas Haden Church wasn’t able to return in person, but still voiced the character.

Of course, a big part of the film’s marketing focused on Jamie Foxx‘s return as Elektro and his revamped design from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. We got a closer design to his comic route and it looks like it was originally going to be a bit sleeker with the yellow lightning on his costume.

It’s always great to get some insight into how designs change over time, and it’s curious how they wanted to change most of their designs before falling back on what they were iconic for back in their original appearances. Elektro is the only one who really went through a massive change, but that was also given in-universe reasoning. We haven’t seen anything on Lizard yet and they might even have concept art of villains that didn’t make the film like Rhino.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Passes $1 Billion in International Markets

Spider-Man: No Way Home has proven to have quite impressive legs throughout its box office run. While all eyes are on the future entries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that hasn’t stopped Sony from continuing to enjoy the rollout of the film, which has now officially passed $1 billion in international markets. Now, the film stands at an impressive $1.74B worldwide and still has no real competition until the March release of The Batman.

After Scream briefly took over the weekend two weeks ago, Spidey passed it once again and now remains at the top spot from last week. Jon Watts‘ latest film is slowly nearing the $2B total box office without a release in China, which was supposedly signed off but has not been confirmed as of now. Its strongest market in the UK, where it becomes the best superhero title with $120.1M and also stands at a strong sixth spot.

That market is followed by Mexico ($74.4M), Korea ($61.5M), and France ($61.2M) as some of the strongest performers internationally. The film has become the highest-grossing film of its genre throughout 19 territories, which may be a testament to just how much staying power Spider-Man has as a franchise.

Tobey Maguire Reveals Why He Signed On For ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

After relentless speculation, the biggest rumor of Spider-Man: No Way Home was confirmed when the film was actually released last month: both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield returned to reprise their roles as Peter Parker in the third installment of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man franchise. While Garfield has been very open regarding his return, Maguire remained quiet since No Way Home’s release.

Deadline, however, managed to get all three Spider-Men together for an interview, where Maguire finally opened up about his return. The actor explained how he came to sign on for No Way Home, and how he felt there was a “genuine intent” behind the decision to bring all three Spider-Men together on screen.

In [a conversation with producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal], the intention, the kind of love and celebration of these movies and what it meant, I think, to Amy and Kevin was apparent…And to me, when artists or, you know, people who are steering the creative process have a kind of authentic, genuine intent of celebration and love, it just was so apparent in both of them, that, I don’t know, I just wanted to join that. And I’m a big fan of Tom and those movies and Andrew. So, it was definitely intriguing, but yes, I was also going, ‘well, what are we going to do? And that was a bit mysterious.
Tobey Maguire

Maguire is not the only Spider-Man actor to praise the others’ work with the character. Now that No Way Home is no longer a secret, we should start to learn more about the “surprise” returns of Maguire and Garfield considering Sony is eyeing an Academy Awards nomination for Best Picture for the film.

Tom Holland Talks About How Emotional Making ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Was With Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield

Spider-Man: No Way Home was met with praise from both critics and fans when it was finally released in theaters last month. The film has gone on to become a record-breaking box office success, but the movie will undoubtedly go down in cinematic history for its bold celebration of live-action Spider-Man movies as a whole. In particular, the returns of both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker are unforgettable moments for the franchise. No Way Home lead Tom Holland opened up to Maguire, Garfield, and Deadline about how emotional making the film was:

There definitely was a sense for me, as an actor, that this was the last time that I could potentially don the suit, so a lot of that emotion came from the act of saying goodbye, which is one of the biggest themes throughout this film. But this film also felt like a celebration of three generations of cinema. So, at times, we would be getting into these scenes that were incredibly emotional. They’re very taxing, and I was so happy to be there, that I had to go at it a different way and kind of go, ‘wow, look at my life. Look what’s happened to me. I’m working with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield and we’re telling this story’”…And I would get emotional at kind of how proud I was of the situation that we were in and what we were doing and that I really believed in what we were doing. So, yeah, it was tough, but you know, anything hard is worthwhile. I was happy to kind of really push myself and to make this film more emotional than superhero films have been in the past.
Tom Holland

Holland has previously praised working with Maguire and Garfield on No Way Home. Now that No Way Home is no longer a secret, we should start to learn more about the making of the movie considering Sony is eyeing an Academy Awards nomination for Best Picture for the film.

Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Believe ‘No Way Home’ Would Have Been Great Without Them

What used to feel like a never-ending rumor was finally confirmed when Spider-Man: No Way Home released in theaters last month: both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield returned to reprise their roles as Peter Parker and Spider-Man in Tom Holland’s third Spider-Man outing.

While their inclusion in No Way Home is largely praised and already legendary, the two Spider-Man veterans told Deadline that they believe the film would have been successful even without their returns. Garfield stated:

I watched the movie with Tobey for the first time and I was in pieces. Like, this is a deep movie. This is a movie that is about a coming of age, an acceptance of loss, acceptance of death, taking responsibility for your gifts. I was torn open by the journey that Tom went on; it’s classic Peter Parker, but it felt totally fresh and totally reimagined. It is like, Tom’s origin story was happening in his third movie rather than his first. There’s something so profound. So the film, I feel, stands alone without me and Tobey showing up. I hope we enhance it, but I think [director] Jon Watts and Tom have made this something, actually, that is exceptionally moving, especially for young people, you know? I think it’s a beautiful film.
Andrew Garfield

While Maguire noted how grateful he was to be a part of the experience. The actor called it “rich” and “emotional,” while agreeing with Garfield that the film still stands on its own without their inclusion. He explained:

I was just grateful every day. Really, it was such a rich experience and, as the guys have touched on, the kind of sharing of something and the brotherhood of it. It was just so rich, emotional. You know, day to day, it was just a beautiful kind of unfolding of this story and these relationships…And the way those films and characters evolved in those films are unique, and then to bring all of that together, including all of our supervillains and all of that, it was pretty wild to witness the immensity of all of this history coming together and being put into what Andrew was saying is this standalone, worthwhile story.
Tobey Maguire

At this point, it is hard to imagine what No Way Home would have been without the boundary-breaking multiversal returns of Maguire’s and Garfield’s characters. We can expect to hear more about the movie and the actors’ roles in it considering Sony is eyeing an Academy Awards nomination for Best Picture for the film.

For now, fans can watch Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters, where it continues to smash box office expectations on nearly a daily basis.

Tobey Maguire is Responsible for the Spider-Men Reunion in ‘No Way Home’

Long before Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters, there were plenty of rumors regarding those who would be involved in the project. One of those names tossed around was Spider-Man actor, Tobey Maguire. Rumors suggested the actor would be a cameo of sorts in the latest Spider-Man movie, but Maguire remained quiet, leaving many to believe the reports were inaccurate. Then rumors hit stating The Amazing Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield would be returning, too, and unlike Maguire, the actor had no problem addressing the rumors.

While Garfield consistently lied to the press and fans about not appearing in No Way Home, the rumors were obviously proven to be true when No Way Home released in theaters. Now, Garfield is finally getting a chance to talk about it now that the secret is out. In a conversation with Deadline that included all three Spider-Men, Garfield revealed that Tobey Maguire was a major reason he signed on for the film:

Well, I was just waiting to see if Tobey was going to do it, and if Tobey was going to do it, then I was like, ‘Well, I have no choice,’ you know? I’d follow Tobey to the ends of the Earth. It was like, ‘Oh, the intention feels very pure here. It actually feels like a great creative idea and a great creative story.’ It wasn’t like they were just asking us to come and say hi and then leave again but actually have our presence being in service to Tom, being in service to Tom’s journey and where he is as Peter Parker. And I love the destiny feeling of the multiverse expanding in this film, and actually, without Tobey’s Peter and Andrew’s Peter being present for Tom’s Peter at this very moment, he may not become the Peter Parker that he’s supposed to become.
Andrew Garfield

Now that No Way Home is no longer such a tightly-held secret by Sony and Marvel, it is likely we will get more of Maguire’s and Garfield’s thoughts on the movie in the near future. Press for the film will continue to be strong, as Sony is eyeing an Academy Awards nomination for Best Picture for No Way Home.

As it stands, Spider-Man: No Way Home is continuing to dominate the box office. Over the weekend, the superhero film hit $721 million at the domestic box office. That was enough to give it the honor of being the 4th place among the highest-grossing movies of all time. Internationally, the film is doing just as well bringing in an astounding $970.1 million overseas for a collective haul of $1.69 million as of Sunday.

Tom Holland Uncertain If He Will Return to Play Spider-Man

After the record-breaking box-office and critical success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, lead Tom Holland has played coy on whether or not he will return as Peter Parker in a fourth installment of his Spider-Man franchise. While he has expressed his interest in continuing to play Spider-Man, the actor recently told Deadline that he simply does not know if he will return or not:

The truthful answer — and I’ve done a whole press tour where all I do is lie — the truth is, and you’re not going to like the truth, I don’t know the answer to that question. This film for me was as special as an experience could ever be. Sharing the screen with these guys. Playing Spider-Man could be quite an alienating experience because, you know, we’re the only three blokes who have done it. So to share that with [Andrew and Tobey], it’s been such a wonderful experience, of which I have such amazing memories. There’s part of me that feels like it’s the perfect time to jump off the building and swing off into the sunset and let the next lucky young kid come in to don the suit. Or I might, I don’t know, buy a new house and need a paycheck and I’ll be back.
Tom Holland

While a fourth film is in development, as revealed by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige in December, Holland insists he’s unsure of his future as the web-slinger. The Cherry actor goes on to say:

I don’t know. I don’t know. I know I love this character, and I know that I am not ready to say goodbye…But if it’s time for me to say goodbye, then I will do so proudly, knowing that I’ve achieved everything I wanted to with this character, and sharing it with these boys will be forever one of the most special experiences of my career. So, if it’s time, it’s time. If it’s not, it’s not. But at the moment, I don’t know.
Tom Holland

Considering the enormous success of the movie, there is little reason to think that Sony wants to replace Holland in the follow-up to No Way Home. His return (or lack thereof) will likely be confirmed sooner rather than later, as Sony is ramping up press on the film in a campaign for an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.

New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Merch Features All Three Spider-Men

It looks like it took some time until we finally got some merchandise featuring all three Spider-Men from Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s been dominating the box office since its December release, but Sony wanted to keep it a secret for long as possible. Luckily, the wait is over, as new merchandise has found its way online featuring Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland‘s take on the characters finally united. The first t-shirt replicates the iconic “I love you guys!” moment from the finale.

Always wanted socks featuring each Spider-Man’s iconic logo in addition to the numbering they are given in the film’s finale as Peter 1, Peter 2, and Peter 3.

There’s also a great one featuring everyone’s iconic design with the statement that “The Multiverse is Real!” Doctor Strange certainly isn’t going to be happy about that aspect once his film releases in May of this year.

Probably a personal favorite is an overlay of all three Spider-Man logos, which ironically had a fake leak around a month before it’s release, as the discussions surrounding their arrival in the project was at its peak without a confirmation.

The new merchandise showcased on the Marvel site includes quite a bit more, as the various villains also got their own focus, such as some new logos designed inspired by Electro, Green Goblin, and Dock Ock. There are some great designs and Marvel is certainly banking on some of the iconic moments from the film. We’ll see if this is just the beginning of their merchanidse roll-out as they milk this cash cow as much as they can.
