During an interaction with The Hollywood Reporter, the screenwriting duo for Spider-Man: No Way Home, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers got candid about it.

By December 2020, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were both secretly signed on to play important extended cameos in Spider-Man: No Way Home. But then, they had yet to receive any script pages. Besides only slipping into their spidey suits after years, the two were able to elevate their roles and even assist Tom Holland’s Peter on his journey to establishing his morality.

Talking about Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s contribution in shaping the climax of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Erik Sommers said, “They had thoughts, and it was really interesting and helpful to see their thoughts. No one knows the character as well as — or gives as much thought to the character — as someone who has to then embody it and sell it. It’s always valuable to hear what the actor is thinking. It definitely shaped what we did.”

Continuing further, Chris McKenna added, “They had great ideas that really elevated everything we were going for and added layers and an arc and we really actually started honing into the idea that these two guys were really helping Tom’s Peter on his journey to becoming who he ends up becoming. There’s a crucial, moral moment that they help him get through in the climax of the movie. So much of that was brought by Tobey and Andrew’s ideas and shaping of what they thought their characters could bring to this story.”
