Trivia & production notes
- Sony and Marvel Studios structured their Spider-Man deal so that no money exchanged hands initially, with Marvel adjusting a 2011 merchandising agreement to reduce their per-film payment if a co-produced film grossed over $750 million.
- Tom Holland screen-tested for Spider-Man opposite both Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, with the Russo Brothers advocating for an actor close to Peter Parker's actual age to differentiate from previous portrayals.
- Screenwriters John Francis Daley and Goldstein deliberately created a list of all elements from previous Spider-Man films and actively avoided reusing them, instead focusing on high school aspects of the character.
- Director Jon Watts was present on set during the filming of Spider-Man's scenes in Captain America: Civil War to ensure his film would transition seamlessly with that appearance.
- Jon Watts approached the film as a coming-of-age story influenced by 1980s and 1990s teen comedies like Can't Buy Me Love and Say Anything, rather than typical superhero fare.
- Peter Parker would be intentionally written as afraid of heights despite being Spider-Man, forcing the writers to avoid opening the film with skyscraper swinging to establish this vulnerability early.
- The writers deliberately set action sequences in unexpected locations like suburban areas, golf courses, the Staten Island Ferry, and Washington D.C. instead of Manhattan's typical skyscrapers.
- Over 1,500 actors were considered before six finalists, including Asa Butterfield, Nat Wolff, and Timothée Chalamet, screen-tested opposite Robert Downey Jr. for chemistry.
- Drew Goddard turned down the directorial opportunity after spending a year attached to a Sinister Six film, saying he lacked a clear vision for the Spider-Man project.
- The film would skip Spider-Man's origin story entirely, with screenwriters deciding not to retell what had been covered twice in the previous thirteen years.
