Spider-Man: No Way Home screenwriters Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna think the film is a fitting ending for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: No Way Home screenwriters Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna recently suggested the latest Spider-Man film may be the most fitting ending for Tom Holland’s version of the webslinger.
“It’s ended in a place where it could feel like a satisfying to this particular Spider-Man, or it definitely could keep going,” Sommers told The Hollywood Reporter. “We get this team together in a room — and again, each one of these movies has had a big thing from the previous to react to. To be a story engine. If there were to be another one, we have this big change at the end that would be a huge story engine to what comes next.”
Sommers added that, while he doesn’t know if there will be more Spider-Man films starring Holland, he appreciates that No Way Home serves as both “a satisfying conclusion or just another really fun, inciting incident for another story.”
McKenna seemed to echo Sommers’ sentiments, explaining, “I think it’s a fitting ending if it had to end this way. We never know. ‘Oh, is Tom doing another one? Will we be a part of it?’ At a certain point, we just got to keep our eye on the one in front of us. ‘Is this a satisfying story that doesn’t just feel like we are ending on a cliffhanger that is trying to trick you into the next one?'”
He also pointed out that No Way Home could serve as the end of the story because Holland’s Peter Parker finally has to make a big sacrifice. “There are all these Marvel movies about him trying to figure out what it is to be a hero, what it is to be Spider-Man, what it is to be Peter Parker, how to balance both, how to have it all,” McKenna continued. “He gets to have it all at the end of the last movie, right before that tag, and then it’s all stripped away. ‘Oh no! What are they going to do next time?’ This one feels like it’s more mature because it really is, as Doctor Strange says, ‘You are trying to have it all. You can’t have it all. You’ve got to make a choice.'”
McKenna concluded, “He has chosen this life. He could spill the beans and get MJ and Ned back and he could convince them of everything and have everything he wanted when he walked into Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. He could get it, but now he has a choice and he doesn’t make that choice because he knows ultimately there’s a sacrifice that has to be made if he’s going to be the person that May raised him to be. This is the responsibility that he now has to live with.”
The screenwriters’ comments come in the wake of Holland also suggesting his time as Spider-Man may be over. “Maybe it is time for me to move on,” the actor said at the time. “Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film.” Holland later clarified his comments, explaining, “I don’t know what the future of Spider-Man looks like. I don’t know whether I’m going to be a part of it. Spider-Man will always live on in me, and I know that [producer Amy Pascal] and the studio are keen to figure out what the next chapter of Spider-Man looks like.”
Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: No Way Home is in theaters now.
