Sandman and Lizard actors Thomas Haden Church and Rhys Ifans didn’t film any new material for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Jon Watts’ third and final installment in Marvel Studios/Sony’s Homecoming trilogy released in theaters on December 17, 2021. The record-breaking blockbuster sees Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) accidentally crack open the multiverse, bringing characters from Sony’s past into the MCU.

By capitalizing on Phase 4’s multiverse concept, No Way Home was able to pay homage to Spider-Man cinema of old. In addition to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s webslingers, the film introduced their respective villains to the MCU, including Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Electro (Jamie Foxx), Sandman, and Lizard. However, while fans got to see Doc Ock, Green Goblin, and Electro’s (human) faces Sandman and Lizard mostly just appear in their CGI forms throughout the film. It’s been revealed that Church and Ifans, who first appeared in Spider-Man 3 (2007) and The Amazing Spider-Man (2014), respectively, were never actually on set for No Way Home.

UPS Andrew Garfield Confirms He Wants Tobey Maguire Reunion After No Way Home

Andrew Garfield has confirmed that he would love to work with Tobey Maguire again after appearing alongside him in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The blockbuster, billion-dollar movie saw the return of both Garfield and Maguire's Spider-Men teaming up with the MCU's iteration of the web-slinging hero (Tom Holland) in an effort to fend off a whole host of villains from across different universes. As the marketing for No Way Home ramped up, its central theme of the multiverse led many to speculate as to whether the previous two Spider-Man actors would also appear, especially given that many of their own former adversaries such as Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) and Electro (Jamie Foxx) were confirmed to be in it. Following seemingly endless fan theories and potential leaks, Garfield and Maguire did reprise their roles as the two Peter Parkers for the movie, much to the overwhelming delight of No Way Home's audiences.
