SpiderManNoWayHome's VFX Supervisor Kelly Port reveals that Rhys Ifans and Thomas Haden Church didn't return to film any new scenes for the Marvel movie.
Sandman and Lizard actors Thomas Haden Church and Rhys Ifans didn’t film any new material for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Jon Watts’ third and final installment in Marvel Studios/Sony’s Homecoming trilogy released in theaters on December 17, 2021. The record-breaking blockbuster sees Peter Parker and Doctor Strange accidentally crack open the multiverse, bringing characters from Sony’s past into the MCU.
By capitalizing on Phase 4’s multiverse concept, No Way Home was able to pay homage to Spider-Man cinema of old. In addition to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s webslingers, the film introduced their respective villains to the MCU, including Doc Ock , Green Goblin , Electro , Sandman, and Lizard. However, while fans got to see Doc Ock, Green Goblin, and Electro’s faces Sandman and Lizard mostly just appear in their CGI forms throughout the film.
"We didn't really have access to Rhys Ifans or Thomas Hayden Church, so we actually ended up using footage from the previous films and manipulating it. So, Rhys Ifans, when he's healing, we actually used an outtake and that was shot on film, scanned at high resolution, tracked, body tracked, everything. So ultimately, it ended up being a lot of that CG, especially for Thomas Hayden Church when he's transforming.
The powers that be did likely reach out to Ifans and Church to film scenes for No Way Home. However, being that Molina, Foxx, and Dafoe had much more prominent roles, it wasn’t necessary due to the seamless implementation of archive footage. In The Amazing Spider-Man, Kurt Conners/Lizard’s ultimate goal was to turn the human population into lizard hybrids and, in Spider-Man 3, Flint Marko/Sandman, while the criminal who killed Uncle Ben, it’s more a case of “wrong place, wrong time.
Past Spider-Man films, notably Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , have struggled to balance multiple antagonists. Spider-Man: No Way Home succeeds in almost all the ways those films failed. As a result, it has become one of the highest-grossing movies of all time, with $800 million in the US and $1.8 billion at the worldwide box office. Fans who want to relive Ifans, Church, and everyone else’s return can now purchase No Way Home on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4k.
