Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art reveals a hilarious moment that could have happened in the movie between Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Doc Ock.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock share a hilariously awkward moment in Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art. Holland concluded his first Spider-Man trilogy with a bang, as Spider-Man: No Way Home received both audience and critical acclaim, with the movie being praised for its emotional and ambitious multiverse story. Spider-Man: No Way Home both laid the perfect setup for Spider-Man 4 and presented the most requested Spider-Man story by fans, uniting Holland with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men to fight past villains like Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Molina’s Doc Ock.
On Twitter, @SpiderMan_Newz shared a new concept art from the Spider-Man: No Way Home – The Art of the Movie book, showing a hilariously awkward moment between Holland’s Spider-Man and Molina’s Doc Ock.
In the concept art, Doc Ock uses his mechanical tentacles to form some sort of bench for him and Peter to sit on, an interesting use of his technology. The real kick comes through Peter Parker’s facial expression, with Holland looking visibly uncomfortable as one of Doc Ock’s tentacles grabs his shoulder in the hilarious concept art.
The Biggest Villain Changes Teased In No Way Home Concept Art
Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s unused concept art has revealed a series of possible plot points that were cut from the movie during its development, such as Holland appearing in one of the concepts with Spider-Man’s iconic Symbiote Suit, as well as a few changes to the movie’s multiverse villains. Spider-Man: No Way Home brought back Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Sandman from Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy, as well as Electro and the Lizard from Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
While the movie did a mostly good job with its multiverse villains, a few changes revealed via the unused Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art could have made the film even better. Dafoe’s Green Goblin looked incredible in the film, first appearing in his armor from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and then using a modernized version of it. In the movie’s unused concept art, there are a few different versions of his final suit. Green Goblin could have either worn an Iron Man suit mixed with his armor or a more Goblin-esque suit after acquiring the Dark Elves’ armor from Thor: The Dark World at a Damage Control facility.
Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds almost used Green Goblin’s glider and pumpkin bombs, a reference to the character’s comic book Hobgoblin story. An unmasked Peter Parker would have met J.K. Simmons’ J. Jonah Jameson in his home, and although he isn’t exactly a villain, JJJ is known for pretty much always be making Spider-Man’s life more difficult. Finally, Molina’s Doc Ock almost got a major makeover, with the character appearing with longer hair and a beard in one concept art and in a comic book-accurate yellow and green Doc Ock suit in another, making one wonder what could have been if Spider-Man: No Way Home hadn’t cut the suit.
