SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Reused Footage From Old Spider-Man Movies

Some interesting facts have emerged regarding some of the footage that was used in Spider-Man: No Way Home. If you haven’t seen the film yet, though, you might want to skip this post because it got some spoilers. If you have seen the movie, go ahead!

One of the most compelling aspects of this movie for me was watching the return of some of the villains. Seeing Alfred Molina as Doc Ock and Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin was great. In fact, Dafoe stole every scene he was in! I love his performance of Green Goblin and how brutal he was.

The movie also featured Jamie Foxx as Electro along with Sandman and Lizard. But, through most of the film Sandman was in his sand form and Lizard was a lizard. It wasn’t until the very end of the movie that we got to see these characters in their human forms.

Well, it turns out the footage of Thomas Haden Church and Rhys Ifans at the end of the movie, when they transform back into their human forms was actually reused from the Spider-Man film of the past. The footage of Church was reused from Spider-Man 3 and the bit featuring Ifans was taken from the end of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Nor Church nor Ifans have been involved in the movie’s press tour, but regardless of how their characters were presented in the movie, it was amazing to see them both appear in the movie, even if they didn’t shoot anything new for it. I just love how the creative team got creative in getting these characters back in the movie!
