Short description

What's left behind the scenes

  • After the release of Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 3: Enemy of the Realm" (2007), Sony considered filming a fourth film. Tobey Maguire was to play the main character, and John Malkovich was to play the villain, the Vulture. Malkovich had already begun preparing for filming when the project was cancelled. A reboot of the franchise was announced with Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man" starring Andrew Garfield. The film was released in 2012.
  • Chandler Riggs, known for the series 'The Walking Dead', auditioned for the role of Spider-Man.
  • 19-year-old Tom Holland is the youngest actor to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were 25 and 26 years old, respectively, when they were cast in the role of the superhero.
  • According to Vincent D'Onofrio, he would be interested in appearing in this film as his character Wilson Fisk/Kingpin from the 'Daredevil' series (2015). Kingpin is one of the villains common to both franchises and has been an adversary of Spider-Man in many of the superhero's stories.
  • During the promotional tour of his new film "Now Is Good" (2013) in 2013, when asked by a journalist about what next project he would like to participate in, Tom Holland replied: "Something with action and humor." When asked in return if he would like to play a superhero, the actor answered: "Maybe Spider-Man, in ten years. In a reboot of a reboot, if they decide to restart the franchise."
  • In the school Peter Parker attends, you can see portraits of Howard Stark (Iron Man's father), Abraham Erskine (the creator of the super-soldier serum that Captain America owes his existence to), and Bruce Banner (the Hulk).
  • Cillian Murphy expressed interest in playing the villain in this film, as he enjoyed working with Tom Holland on "In the Heart of the Sea".
  • At one point, director Drew Goddard was considered for the film. In April 2014, it was announced that Goddard would direct and write the script for "Sinister Six" for the "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise. Goddard was even shortlisted as a candidate to direct "Spider-Man: Homecoming", however, Jon Watts ultimately became the director.
  • The shortlist of candidates for the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man was as follows: Asa Butterfield, Nat Wolff, Timothée Chalamet, Tom Holland, and Liam James.
  • Jane Levy and Kaya Scodelario were considered for the role of the protagonist's girlfriend.

In 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' (Marc Webb, 2014), the hero fought Electro. The Sinister Six also include Mysterio and Kraven the Hunter.
  • According to Zendaya, while auditioning, she knew nothing about the project and thought she was competing for a supporting role in some teen movie.
