Our Favourite Trivia:
It is the second reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise, and the sixteenth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel had been working to add Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe since at least October 2014, when they announced their slate of Phase Three films, with Feige saying, "Marvel doesn't announce anything officially until it's set in stone. So we went forward with that Plan A in October, with the Plan B being, if [the deal] were to happen with Sony, how it would all shift. We've been thinking about [the Spider-Man film] as long as we've been thinking about Phase Three."
In May 2015, Jonathan Levine, Ted Melfi, Jason Moore, the writing team of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, and Jared Hess were being considered to direct the film. Butterfield, Holland, Judah Lewis, Matthew Lintz, Charlie Plummer, and Charlie Rowe screen tested for the lead role against Robert Downey Jr., who portrays Tony Stark / Iron Man in the MCU, for "chemistry". The six were chosen out of a search of over 1,500 actors to test in front of Feige, Pascal, and the Russo brothers—the directors of Captain America: Civil War.
This is Robert Downey Jr.'s eighth time playing Tony Stark.
Nineteen-year-old Tom Holland was the youngest actor to be cast as Peter Parker. Tobey Maguire was cast at 25, and Andrew Garfield was 26.
In an interview from 2013, while promoting his upcoming film, How I Live Now (2013), Tom Holland was asked by a reporter what kind of role he might want to try next. When Holland replied, saying a project with action and humor would be of interest to him, the reporter asked if he would ever like to play a superhero. "Maybe Spider-Man, in ten years time," answered Holland. "The reboot of the reboot, if they do that."
The cast had to watch a John Hughes movie marathon to prepare. This movie is first and foremost a coming-of-age tale, so Jon Watts turned to the master of such stories: John Hughes. "He gave us a lot of movies to watch", Tom Holland said during an interview with PopSugar UK. "God, there's so many movies, and we basically just all sat down in my house in Atlanta, all the cast, and we just watched them all in one day, and just had like a Domino's day. It was amazing, The Breakfast Club (1985), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Pretty in Pink (1986), there were loads of them."
Tom Holland spent a few days attending classes at the Bronx High School of Science in New York City to prepare for his role as Peter Parker. He used his acting coach's name as an alias.
Pictures of Howard Stark, Abraham Erskine, and Bruce Banner can be seen in Peter Parker's school.
This is the first Spider-Man film to feature the villain "The Vulture". In Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4, John Malkovich was set to play The Vulture, but the film was never made. In the DVD commentary for Spider-Man 3 (2007), Thomas Haden Church revealed they spoke about Ralph Fiennes and Sir Ben Kingsley playing The Vulture in a sequel.
Mark Hamill wanted to play The Vulture if Michael Keaton turned the part down.
Kenneth Choi (Principal Morita) also played the Howling Commando Jim Morita in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). In the Principal's office, you can see photos of the Howling Commando, which hints that they are related, and he is his grandson.
Martin Starr plays one of Peter Parker's high school teachers in this movie. He can briefly be seen in The Incredible Hulk (2008), and is credited as "Computer Nerd". Marvel and Disney usually doesn't re-cast the same actors in different Marvel Cinematic Universe roles, but has broken this rule a few times. However, Starr's role could be linked to the previous minor background character, in which case, he was getting a degree in the earlier film, and went into teaching in this one.
Tony Revolori received death threats for playing the role of bully Flash Thompson.
This is the first time that Jon Favreau portrayed "Happy" Hogan in a non-Iron Man movie.
The working title of the film was Summer of George, a reference to the eighth season finale of Seinfeld (1989). Co-producer Eric Hauserman Carroll stated the code name was selected because during production crew members watched reruns of the series weeknights on a local Los Angeles TV station and discussed them with each other the next day. Consequently, the working title of the sequel is Fall of George. It's also an appropriate choice as George Constanza had a crush on Marisa Tomei (Aunt May) who also guest starred in one episode.
Stan Lee Cameo: According to James Gunn, Stan Lee's cameo in this film is one of the four Lee cameos filmed in one day, but other accounts say he didn’t direct this cameo. Lee appears as an annoyed neighbor named Gary who, after witnessing Spider-Man mistakenly accosting an innocent civilian says to him, "Don't make me come down there, you punk!"
