Daron James “Spider-Man : No Way Home” entangles Peter Parker (Tom Holland) in a “multiverse of madness” that culminates in a climactic battle at night atop the Statue of Liberty where web slingers from past franchises, played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, face familiar villainous foes. The friendly neighborhood crime fighters required updated costume designs and an intricate web of visual effects that included the creation of full digital doubles to bring the historic moment to life.“One concern was how we were going to visually separate these Spider-Man characters from each other,” says Sony Imageworks VFX supervisor Chris Wagener, who oversaw the massive sequence.
To pull off the feat, the team went through all previous films identifying “individual spider styles.” They created a visual style guide that helped them distinguish each Spider-Man through unique characteristics performed by Maguire, Garfield and Holland.
