SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Star Tom Holland Says It Was "Always The Plan" To Unite The Three Spider-Men

Spider-Man: No Way Home star Tom Holland has revealed what he knows of previous iterations of the movie, saying it was always the plan to unite his Spidey with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Variants.

Spider-Man: No Way Home united Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield's three Spider-Men in a movie that's credited with saving theaters while receiving widespread acclaim from fans and critics. It's previously been revealed that Kraven the Hunter was considered for a non-Marvel Studios version of the movie, while concept art has shown Mysterio squaring off with Doctor Strange. 

Needless to say, there were clearly a lot of different ideas in play for the threequel. However, Tom Holland believes it was always the plan to try and bring these Peter Parker Variants together.

"I don't remember," the Uncharted star told ComicBook.com when asked if Spider-Man: No Way Home's story was always the original idea for this third chapter. "There was always the plan for all of three of us to come back. But I think obviously, people were still doing their deals and in conversation."

"So, there were times where it was not happening and then it was happening, and then it wasn't happening and then it was happening," Holland continued. "And we also had five villains to try and convince to come back. So, I'm really glad I wasn't a part of those conversations 'cause I would've lost my mind. But no, it was a great time." 

We're still curious to learn what the deal was with Mysterio's planned return, and not revealing that he was somehow tied to the Multiverse (which we've seen in the Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Men comic books) feels like a missed opportunity. For whatever reason, though, we got a Sinister Five rather than the Sinister Six, so there's still a chance Quentin Beck could target Spidey again.

It's hard to think of a better version of Spider-Man: No Way Home than the one we watched in theaters last December, and this idea to bring the three live-action Spider-Men together has clearly been plotted for a while. Hopefully, they'll get the chance to team-up on screen again soon...

While being more or less fanservice, I’m glad that they actually had mini-arcs in the movie and helped Tom on his journey to actually become Spider-Man.

We’ll definitely see the three of them again in some movie. After the box office success its basically a given. This is the same Sony that is giving us a Madame Web movie and wants to give Zendayas MJ her own spinoff film.

The lack of any resolution to the plotlines of Vulture and Scorpion makes me think otherwise.

Hopefully they tie into 4 along with DD and Kingpin

@DrReedRichards - I hope Kingpin is the villain for the next one, and has Scorpion running around as his muscle.

Vulture I'm not sure about, given that he's also in Morbius

@bkmeijer, @HulkisHorny -

Same here, guys. What's even weirder to me is that the whole memory erasing plotline also cancels (or perhaps resets) the same movie's teased team-up with Daredevil since Matt no longer has any memory of Peter.

But he’ll remember being Spider-Mans lawyer. He just won’t remember Spider-Man’s identity.

Just like how happy remembered working with Spider-Man but he just forgot his secret identity.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Which means Ned and MJ will have memories of Spider-Man but not remember who he was under the mask.

Sure Tom. Last month you didn't want to talk about Kraven since that was the original plan.

Makes sense though they wanted to do a live-action Spider-Verse though, I (and themselves either probably) just didn't expect it see it so soon.
