Spider-Man: No Way Home Costume Designer On Recreating Tobey Maguire's Suit
Spider-Man: No Way Home costume designer Sanja Milkovic Hays explains the process behind recreating Tobey Maguire’s suit. Maguire made his debut as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Sam Raimi’s 2002 film before going on to star in two sequels. Following abandoned plans for a Spider-Man 4, Sony rebooted the franchise with Andrew Garfield in the titular role. Now, Tom Holland is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s webslinger, who recently met his predecessors in Jon Watts’ final installment in the Homecoming trilogy, No Way Home.
Taking place after Far From Home (2019), No Way Home picks up with Peter in the aftermath of Mysterio revealing his identity as Spider-Man and implicating him as a murderer. When he goes to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for help, the subsequent memory spell goes awry and brings a handful of Sony villains/heroes into the MCU. These characters include Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Lizard (Rhys Ifans), Electro (Jamie Foxx), and a pair of familiar webslingers. That said, No Way Home marks the first time the now 46-year-old Maguire has worn the Raimi-verse’s silver-webbed suit since Spider-Man 3 (2007).
