In an interview with IGN, Sommers and McKenna said the most challenging scene to write in “No Way Home” was the moment when the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, met his cinematic predecessors portrayed by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Of course, as MCU fans know by now, that meeting comes right after the biggest gut punch of Peter’s life when Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) died in his arms. While Maguire and Garfield made their big entrance in a previous scene, Sommers and McKenna knew this scene was critical because it would be the first time audiences have seen these Parkers in years, and would tell them about the characters’ state of mind.
With so much at stake, Sommers and McKenna rewrote the scene “at least 10 times.”“When they got pulled into this movie, what condition were they in? What were they doing? What was their mindset?” Sommers said. “The end of the last ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ had this really nice speech from Gwen about staying hopeful and everything. And immediately it became interesting to us.
Well, what if Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, if his Peter Parker couldn’t do it, he couldn’t keep that hope. He was too hurt by what happened. And so, that led us to the attitude that we found for him.”Even after the screenplay was complete, Sommers and McKenna were in constant dialogue with producer Amy Pascal, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and director Jon Watts, not to mention Maguire and Garfield themselves, who had their own input when it came time to shoot the scene with Holland.
“Making a movie like this is a big collaborative experience. And with each collaborator, it just gets better and better. But it changes,” McKenna said.
