Tobey Maguire’s upside-down kiss in the Sam Raimi films is one of the most iconic kisses in all of film history. Brand new Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art reveals that Marvel planned to recreate the scene with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and…. Doctor Strange!?
The latest batch of concept art for Spider-Man: No Way Home shows off a scrapped sequence of multiversal travel that would’ve taken fans through iconic moments from prior Spider-Man films — the most notable of which has clearly been a recreation of Tobey Maguire’s iconic kiss, now with Doctor Strange. The full slate of concept art can be seen below.

While it’s certainly a shame this sequence didn’t make it into Spider-Man: No Way Home, the fight between Peter Parker and Doctor Strange that did make the cut was certainly a visual spectacle. Given it also would’ve spoiled the film’s iconic cameos, it may have been for the best for these concepts to stay on the cutting room floor.
What’s next for Spider-Man?
What does the future hold for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker? The success of Spider-Man: No Way Home has opened up a world of possibilities for the fan-favorite Marvel character. The movie ends with Peter erasing himself from the memories of his loved ones in order to protect them from his enemies. This sets up an interesting dynamic for future Spider-Man movies, as Peter will have to navigate a world in which he is not known as Spider-Man.
Rumor has it that Tom Holland has signed on for multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe appearances after Spider-Man: No Way Home. The future of the Spider-Man series is currently unclear, but it is likely that Marvel will continue to explore the multiverse concept that was introduced in No Way Home.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is now available to own on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding Spider-Man’s Marvel Cinematic Universe future and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
