Marvel and Sony's  Spider-Man: No Way Home is about to return to prominence thanks to its upcoming home release at the end of March 2022. The MCU's highest-grossing solo film in history is still one of the fandom's hottest topics thanks to new looks into the plot and stories behind the production. Villains like the Lizard and Doctor Octopus have shone in new promo material, as have both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men. One of No Way Home 's biggest challenges came in making sure all five villains from past Spider-Man movies looked the way they did before while also sporting new updates. While part of this came through action beats in the story, such as Doc Ock stealing the nanotech from Peter Parker's Iron Spider suit, others were more subtle and harder to notice at first glance.

The show’s opening episodes perfectly resembled a different decade of televised sitcoms before it was cracked open into a Twilight Zone -inspired mystery. ADVERTISEMENT Eventually, it’s revealed that Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness was behind everything going awry in Westview. She had arrived to investigate how Wanda Maximoff could be as powerful as she was. To conclude her investigation, the show’s eighth episode saw the witch take Wanda on a trip down memory lane. Now, thanks to a newly released book, it’s been revealed how tha...

Andrew Garfield’s Lizard Originally Looked Different in Spider-Man: No Way Home

Marvel Studios and Sony's smash hit  Spider-Man: No Way Home  continues to win the hearts of critics and fans alike. Of course, this is partly due to the fact that, through Multiversal shenanigans, the film brought back Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men from previous films, as well as a number of their notable villains, such as Alfred Molina's Doc Ock and Dr. Curt Connors aka, The Lizard. In 2012's  The Amazing Spider-Man , the first Andrew Garfield film, Peter Parker goes up against the fearsome alter ego of Dr. Connors, who has used his scientific know-how to heal his arm. But the process also transforms him into a hulking, reptilian creature.  ADVERTISEMENT The Lizard, as a character, is largely brought to life through computer-generated effects, and while his design in  No Way Home  adhered closely to his 2012 appearance, things didn't necessarily start out that way.
