15 Scenes Spider-Man Actors Were Embarrassed To Film

They might look cool, calm, and collected as can be on screen, but behind the scenes, these actors don’t quite feel like the superheroes they’re playing! Some of the most emotional and tense moments were actually incredibly awkward, making for a lot of messed-up takes.
Tom Holland makes a very special Spider-Man - but the fact that his MJ is a bit taller than him can make some of his actions a bit tricky. Zendaya wound up having to take the lead, leaving Tom both embarrassed AND glad to have someone to share carrying the weight with.
We got a load of amazing characters in this movie - Green Goblin, Doc Ock, the other Spider-Men, and of course, Charlie Cox’s quick cameo as Matt Murdock. While it was exciting for us to see them, the actor didn’t always feel so confident. Both Andrew and Tobey had to face the fact that they just weren’t in the shape they used to be - but they both put in the work to prepare. Even still, “peeling” into the suit for the first time and being a middle-aged man walking around in full lycra, trying to be taken seriously… Well, the struggle is real. Charlie Cox wasn’t sure about a certain directorial choice and with good reason - the actor’s worst nightmare came true when he went to a screening and felt even more embarrassed by what had happened!
Tom had a great time working with Alfred Molina (who wouldn’t?!) BUT he did struggle a bit with some peculiar differences in language - leaving for some jokes landing awkwardly flat and causing more confusion than anything!
In the end, all the embarrassment, blushing and awkward moments are worth it when we get a finished product like this. Thank goodness for the editors who can work their magic to nix any embarrassing takes!

Which Spidey had the extra padding in his suit?! 😉

[farahobeid]

When I watched No Way home opening night with my sisters the whole audience including us started cheering and clapping when Matt Murdock came on the screen as they did the same with the other Spiderman's. They passed the vibe check. I feel bad cuz they didn't do that for him when he watched it. :(

[khalilahd.]

Wait I love this! The movie was incredible but seeing the actors behind the scenes just makes me appreciate the film that much more 💜

Tobey's Back is an amazing callback.

"We've never seen Dr Strange look so clumsy" apart from that scene in Dr Strange where he texts and

[nataliamoon]

I shame on those people who didnt know Charlie Cox when he came on screen!!! LOL but on positive note, one of my friends, who didnt watch Daredevil then, she went ahead and watch Daredevil after watching spiderman! <3

If there's one thing that cannot be said of Tom Holland is that he isn't graceful. He even walks gracefully. He's grace personified. But he certainly admits he's a bit accident prone.😉

[angelinasharon]

I've always thought abt these scenes nd how awkward it would hav been!!😂

[lucapellari]

I'm so scared of Willem Dafoe and his villain that I can't watch the movie. To me, he's one of the most terrifying villains of all time.

[some_ramen]

ngl, Tom's behind the scenes are actually kinda cute 😂

[mecdsj]

William was so scary that he should have won MTVs Best 🦹‍♂️ Villain.

[luis]

He even does that creepy smile in the final fight

Narrater: “…jokes lost in translation” ”Things were a bit lost in translation”
Me: WELL MAYBE WE GOT LOST IN TRANSLATION MAYBE I ASKED FOR TO MUCH

[itzanwarfaro]

Spider-man : No Way Home is the best Spiderman movie...no doubt.🥱🧘🏾‍♂️

[ANightworkerslife]

I really loved all three spideys in this movie, they nailed it. It could easily have been awkward but the writers managed to get it right and then the chemistry between Tom, Tobey and Andrew did the rest, they clearly loved doing this together.
Willem as Green Goblin.. i mean, Green Goblin could very aeasily have become cheezy .. but Willem really brings the crazy thats needed. I this he actually gives a masterclass in acting bringing Green Goblin to life... the scariest I've seen in a time.

[sithdarthvader]

1:39 that's the best stance I've seen this year's 😳

[scottanderson]

My friend said it was probably Tobey Maguire with the extra padding because he said he gets bit by a dog but I have been to busy to watch the movie so I'm not sure.

[forlegalreasonsionexist]

I watched the movie a little late so I constantly tried not to get spoilers (which obviously failed bc three spidermen were EVERYWHERE) so I thought I've seen all the spoilers and there's nothing left
Boy oh boy I was wrong
When daredevil came on screen, I SCREAMED
I had to pause the movie and run around the house, I kid you not that was the best part of the movie for me
I always loved him so much and it was the best surprise for me
All the other actors entrance had some type of pause to make it dramatic but matt was just THERE and it was no natural and genuine it gave me so much hope that I get to see him in mcu more
And I really wish they keep him and make him canon and give him more place in the mcu he, as the actor and the character very much deserves it
They won't regret it if they add him in, he's already loved in my opinion and he really tried for this role

Them: Spiderman actors!!
