Spider-Man: No Way Home - 13 Fascinating New Details The Writers Just Revealed
11. McKenna And Sommers Worked On The Script Until The Last Possible Moment
Speaking of getting things done at the eleventh hour, the script was another element of the movie that wasn't fully cooked by the time cameras started rolling.
More specifically, Maguire and Garfield's scenes took a long time to get right, with McKenna and Sommers revealing they were "holed up" just before Christmas 2020, desperately trying to get the two actors some completed pages to read:
"At a certain point, we had to get them [Maguire and Garfield] Act III. We had to get those pages to them literally a year ago, we were holed up getting pages to them before Christmas of last year."
As we mentioned, that's over a month after principal photography started, so you can only imagine how stressed everyone was during that time! Especially considering the Maguire/Garfield stuff is the most crucial part of the movie.
But again, that final act was shot later in the production schedule, which is why McKenna and Sommers were able to deliver those pages as late as they did.
