RELATED: All The Times Spider-Man Almost Joined MCU BEFORE Civil War Promised Villains While there were expectations that MJ would be introduced in the sequel, Woodley anticipated that the role would be recast without her completely. However, these were cut to allow more time to focus on the relationship between Peter and Gwen. Woodley had even filmed scenes with Garfield that were planned for inclusion in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Shailene Woodley was cast as Mary Jane Watson, Peter's next-door neighbor, similar to the previous Sam Raimi-helmed Spider-Man trilogy. Director Marc Webb hinted that the movie would open with Spider-Man still mourning the death of his true love Gwen Stacy. However, the third film would largely center on Peter's attempt to pick up the pieces of his life. Currently, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home is set for its release on 17th December.Much of the story involving Garfield's Spider-Man revolved around the young superhero investigating the mysterious experiments conducted by his father, his family's connection to the nefarious OsCorp conglomerate and a shadowy figure that had appeared to the numerous villains in the first two films.

And if they leveraged something like a five-picture deal, what stories would they want to tell?”

“No one else at Marvel Studios was told about what they were doing, just that it was a ‘get-together.'” “With no time to spare, Kevin Feige announced an ‘all hands on deck’ situation: Every executive producer at Marvel studios had to be a part of a secret, two-day-long, off-site retreat, held in a rented hotel space in Santa Monica,” the book states.
