Spider-Man 3
WARNING : The following control SPOILERS forSpider - Man : No Way Home
Spider - Man : No manner Homebrought back several Spider - Man villains who battled Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield ’s Spider - Man in their respective universes , and in the lawsuit of Sandman ( Thomas Haden Church ) , it really reused some footage fromSpider - Man 3to work him to life . Thanks to some combination of a spoiler - averse production model , COVID-19 limitations on principal picture taking , and the complication of bringing back an actor 14 years after their last appearance , a number of originative proficiency had to be apply to bring Sandman , AKA Flint Marko back to the enceinte screen , including the re - usance of some of Sam Raimi ’s originalSpider - Man 3photography .
In Peter Parker ’s effort to have Doctor Strange create a trance to make the world forget he ’s Spider - Man , he by chance made theformer Sorcerer Suprememess up the spell , resulting in multiple villains who knew Spider - Man was Peter Parker cross the multiverse to move into Tom Holland ’s MCU persistence . The villains included Dr. Otto Octavius ( Alfred Molina ) , Green Goblin ( Willem Dafoe ) , Electro ( Jamie Fox ) , Lizard ( play by Rhys Ifans inThe Amazing Spider - Man , but uncredited inSpider - Man : No Way dwelling ) , and Sandman .

While it ’ll be impossible to properly liken footage untilSpider - human being : No way of life Homeis released for home viewing , thanks to Sam Raimi ’s iconic camera work , it look like several shots were repurposed fromSpider - adult male 3 , specifically the shots after he ’s heal and turns back into Flint Marko . The redaction is fairly unseamed , but the iconic zoom - in on his face as he ’s surface out of the George Sand is clearly repurposed from the scene inSpider - Man 3where he fightsTobey Maguire ’s Spider - Manin the sewer . There ’s only a few slam of him in his human chassis , so it ’s likely they ’re all repurposed fromSpider - Man 3footage .
Considering neither Thomas Haden Church or Rhys Ifans are actually accredit in the pic and both Sandman and Lizard are evince digitally in their giant forms for the majority of their screentime , it ’s likely neither actor really take part , intend the abbreviated shot of Rhys Ifans is potential also re - used fromThe Amazing Spider - Man . This technique is hardly new , and was seen as recently asZack Snyder ’s Justice League , where several shot during Cyborg ’s Knightmare vision before Superman ’s Christ’s Resurrection were repurposed , including a shot of Henry Cavill ’s Superman inMan of Steel . The proficiency is far older than 2021 , although it ’s ordinarily more innocuous , such as , ironically , whenLifereusedSpider - Man 3footage for a promo , although the final cut of meat did n’t actually include the scene .
It would have been exciting to see new footage of these actors reprising their roles , but with an already packed villain roll and COVID-19 production constraints , it ’s graspable why the movie start this road . In a way , it ’s also meet for a movie so steeped inSpider - Manlegacy to literally re - use footage from the previous Spider - Manfranchises , realise something that uprise as a creative solution to a filmmaking restraint into a form of fun Easter egg for fans .
