Good news, web-heads! Sony Pictures has published the official screenplay for Spider-Man: No Way Home (co-written by Holland trilogy vets, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers).
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers discuss the spoilers and surprises involved in making sure Peter Parker's story wasn't derailed by fan service.
Spider-Man: No Way Home was an emotional movie on several levels, but one moment, in particular, proved heart-breaking for fans. Now, the writers have explained why a "sacrifice" was necessary.
Most iterations of Peter Parker’s origin story contain two vital points: he gets bitten by a radioactive spider, and his uncle, Ben Parker, dies. Bruce Wayne sees his mother’s pearls hitting the pavement, Kal-El gets shot off of Krypton on a spaceship, Peter Parker loses Uncle Ben. Peter's dear Aunt May fills the void. That's simply the way it works in classic comic book stories.
Spider-Man: No Way Home brings Matt Murdock back to the MCU as lawyer, and it’s true to Marvel Comics, where he’s helped Peter Parker, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Venom, and more. Here’s how it worked in the comics.
