20 Easter Eggs From Spider-Man: No Way Home You May Have Missed

Aside from including previous heroes and villains, No Way Home goes out of its way to pay tribute to the films that came before it:

- When Peter detects Doc Ock about to emerge on the bridge, the same type of zoom shot as in Spider-Man 2, just before that Peter detects Doc Ock throwing a car at him, is used

- Doc Ock's attempt to regain control of his arms from Peter with a harsh 'Listen to me!' echoes the Doc's last scene in Spider-Man 2 when he regains control of his arms

- The scene where Norman leaves his Goblin suit in the trash is shot the same as when Peter disposes of his suit in Spider-Man 2, which was itself inspired by the famous cover of Amazing Spider-Man #50 'Spider-Man No More'

- 'I'm something of a scientist myself'. Norman repeats this meme'd line to Peter after being trapped in Strange's cell

- Just before the final battle, Spider-Maguire is stretching and mentions having back pain. This is alluding to Maguire's real-life back injury that almost saw him replaced in Spider-Man 2 AND the scene in that film where he fell off a building onto a parked car, hurting his back. Meta upon meta.

- Spider-Maguire tells Spider-Garfield 'You're amazing', a nod to both Garfield's movies and Spider-Man's classic comic adjective

- Spider-Maguire stops Peter from impaling the Goblin with his own glider, thereby preventing the death of the Goblin he experienced in his own reality
