Spider-Man: No Way Home, there was a problem with the character suits
Spider-Man
A costume designer from Spider-Man: No Way Home revealed that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spidey costumes had to be recreated from scratch. The third installment of Marvel Studios' Spider-Man series delighted hardcore fans and the general public around the world in December last year. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a smash hit, both critically and financially, and is currently ranked as the sixth highest-grossing film of all time.In an interview With Discussing Film, Spider-Man: No Way Home costume designer Sanja Milkovic Hays confirmed that Maguire and Garfield's Spidey outfits have been completely recreated, for their long-awaited return. Hays stated that in order to create the feeling that the two Spider-Man had stepped out of their worlds, special care had to be taken to make sure their costumes were identical to their last appearances on the big screen. Although the use of the suits used in the shoot would have guaranteed that effect, Hays confirmed that the original Spider-Man costumes the actors wore were either missing or destroyed.
“We recreated the original suits from previous films. so that the characters looked like they just came out of those worlds. The original clothes they actually wore [on set] have been lost or destroyed. It was really interesting to recreate them, because the technology has changed so much since they were first designed. "
Although fans may think it is a real shame that the costumes used in previous Spider-Man films have not been preserved, it must be considered that it was foreseeable that they would not have survived over time; up to 17 years, in the case of the costume used by Maguire. Some superhero costumes, such as the Spider-Man suit, do not have longevity as a determining factor in their design, with the materials used subject to degradation over time. This is why, in large productions, dozens of costumes and acrobatic suits can be made, as the demands of an intense shooting program will inevitably lead to wear and tear. Regardless, most fans will surely agree that Hays did an amazing job of recreating the outfits in Spider-Man: No Way Home, just as we remembered them.
