How SpiderMan No Way Home Pays Tribute To Sam Raimis Trilogy

Tom Holland opens up about how Spider-Man: No Way Home pays tribute to Sam Raimi’s trilogy in a specific directorial style utilized by Jon Watts. Raimi first brought Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s iconic webslinger to life on the big screen in 2002 with Tobey Maguire starring as the titular hero in his origin story as he’s bit by a radioactive spider and granted spider-like abilities, which he must use against Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin. Maguire would carry the role through two sequels before he and Raimi departed the franchise due to creative differences with the studio.

After the short-lived Amazing Spider-Man film series, Holland would don the Spidey suit in Captain America: Civil War for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and carry the role through two Avengers films and two solo films. His upcoming third solo outing, Spider-Man: No Way Home, will see he and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange open the doors to the multiverse and invite villains from other realities into their world. Some of these villains include Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy vets Dafoe as Goblin, Alfred Molina as Doc Ock and Thomas Haden Church’s Sandman, though these villains aren’t the only thing coming back from the acclaimed films.

Ahead of the film’s release, Holland caught up with Den of Geek to discuss Spider-Man: No Way Home. In discussing the making of the threequel, the star explained how Spider-Man: No Way Home paid tribute to Sam Raimi’s webslinging trilogy with the use of what Watts called the “Raimi cam”. See what Holland said below:

“I think also something that [director] Jon Watts did really well is he would call it the ‘Raimi Cam.’ And he would do these, like, really quick smash push-ins on characters, which is something that Sam Raimi, I suppose, was quite famous for. So, Jon definitely paid respects to the previous two movies.”

Prior to bringing Spider-Man to life on screen, Raimi was best known for his work in the horror genre as the creator of the Evil Dead franchise and helming the first three films in said series. As the director would move to big-budget filmmaking with the likes of the Spider-Man trilogy and Disney’s Oz the Great and Powerful, he still utilized many of the same stylish camerawork as his horror films, namely the “quick smash push-ins” Holland is referring to. One of the most iconic examples of this display of style was seen in Spider-Man 2 as Molina’s Doc Ock tentacles attacked a group of doctors attempting to cut them off of him early in the film.

The Spider-Man 2 scene is widely hailed as one of the best of Raimi’s trilogy and a prime example of the filmmaker’s ability to blend the horror and superhero genres together for a terrifying three-minute sequence. With Doc Ock returning for Spider-Man: No Way Home, it would be exciting to see the “Raimi cam” come into play for a scene paying tribute to the iconic moment in Molina’s debut as the supervillain. Only time will tell how Watts paid tribute to Raimi’s signature style when Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theaters on December 17.
