2021’sSpider-Man: No Way Homebrought together all three cinematic live-action versions of Spidey, as well as many of their villains. However, at one time,Tom Holland’sSpider-Man was going to visit certain key moments in the history ofTobey Maguire’sandAndrew Garfield’sversions. Concept artistPhil Saundersrecently shared concept artcreated for the film showing Holland’s Spidey and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) visiting the other Spider-Men’s universes.
In the post, Saunders wrote “One early idea for Spidey andDr. Strange’schasethrough the multiversewas to have them battle over the source of the spell (in this early version the Book of Vishanti) through scenes from the previous movies. We were given a couple of days to play with that idea, taking screen caps from the movies and painting in Spidey and Doc.” In the film, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange did fight each other. However, instead of revisiting moments from previous films, the fight focused more on showing off Doctor Strange’s powers.
One piece of concept art from Maguire’s universe shows Spider-Man and Doctor Strange at a wrestling tournament, with Bonesaw McGraw. Another piece of concept art from Maguire’s world shows Mr. Ditkovitch and his daughter Ursula. In Raimi’sSpider-Man 2andSpider-Man 3, Mr. Ditkovitch was Peter’s landlord, who would always ask about his rent. InGarfield’s universe, two pieces of concept art show Oscorp, where Doc Conners tried to release a gas and turn everyone into lizards like him. Another piece of concept art shows the clock tower, where Garfield’s Spider-Man was unable to save Gwen Stacy.
