Actor Chris Pine has opened up about having not been one of the Spider-Man actors to return in Spider-Man: No Way Home.The Tom Holland-ledNo Way Home was 2021's biggest hit, and the third standalone Spider-Man film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It follows Holland's titular web-slinger as he contends with characters from previous cinematic Spider-Man universes after Doctor Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) spell opens the multiverse. Among these returning Spider-Man movie characters were the two previous live-action iterations of the character. Both Tobey Maguire (who originally starred in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy) and Andrew Garfield (star of The Amazing Spider-Man series) returned to don their Spidey costumes once again.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is not the only film in the last decade to explore the idea of a Spider-Man multiverse. 2018 saw the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, an animated film which also centred around Spider-People from different universes teaming up against evil. All told, Into the Spider-Verse featured seven Spider-Creatures from different universes who are integral to its plot. Upon its release, Into the Spider-Verse was a major success (foreshadowing the success of the multiverse plot in the MCU), and even wound up winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Alongside Chris Pine's Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Into the Spider-Verse also included iterations of the character voiced by Shameik Moore (Miles Morales), Jake Johnson (Peter B. Parker), Nicolas Cage (Spider-Man Noir), and John Mulaney (Spider-Ham), and Oscar Isaac (Spider-Man 2099).
