Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Almost Had An Incredible Triple Cameo From Other Superhero Actors

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a film that we loved, as did many others. Producer Christopher Miller recently participated in a watch-along on Twitter, tweeting out facts and observations about the movie to give fans additional insight into how it was made. Among some great insights was one particular reveal of a scene that was not allowed in the film--one we'd very much like to see for the sequel.

During the watch-along, one fan asked Miller about a rumored cameo from Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe. He says that Holland's cameo was planned alongside two other former Spider-Man actors--Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man 1-3) and Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2).

Miller says that they pitched the idea to Sony, but were told that it was "too soon." It's unclear how the three actors would have been used--and even whether they would have all played Spider-Man--but in any case, it did not happen.

A sequel is coming--it was originally scheduled for April 8, 2022, but has since been delayed until October 7. Considering how much time will have passed by the date of its release--and how well-received the current cinematic run of Spider-Man is--perhaps we'll see this idea revisited.

Tom Holland will next play Spider-Man in a third MCU film, which is due to start shooting in July--although whether that actually happens is up in the air right now due to COVID-19.
