Obviously, over the moon, I am so excited to play Spider-Man [again,] it’s like hanging out with an old pal. We were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of COVID. We shot the entire film on stages. Now we’re really gonna lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we are starting in Glasgow. We are gonna use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together, so it is going to feel like making Spider-Man 1 again. It’s been such a long time since I have done it, it’s going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I think that fans are going to be over the moon of what we are pulling together.
Despite being released in theaters during COVID-19,Spider-Man: No Way Homebecame the highest-grossing movie at the 2021 box office, as it earned $1.9 billion worldwide.Spider-Man: No Way Homeis also the most profitable MCU film in the entire Multiverse Saga, with 2024’sDeadpool & Wolverinebeing ranked the second highest, following its $1.3 billion gross.
