Warning: This article contains spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home!
Spider-Man: No Way Home may have teased the Spider-Man pointing meme, but it looks as though Marvel actually shot their own version of it.
Celebrating the upcoming release of No Way Home on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, Marvel has unveiled a rather cool image of all three Spider-Men stood facing each other, pointing – mirroring the classic meme.
The original meme is a still image from the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon in which two people in Spider-Man costumes are shown pointing at each other.
The episode, “Double Identity” depicts a chameleon-like criminal who is impersonating the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. But Marvel’s version features the three different Spider-Man actors – Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire.
By now, the secret’s out – all three Spider-Men appeared in No Way Home after Doctor Strange cracked open the multiverse with a spell to help Peter Parker. And in some of the MCU's best cameos, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire came to his aid.
But while this is the first time we’ve seen the classic Spider-Man meme with all three big-screen Spider-Men, there was a version that appeared in the movie… and it was all Andrew Garfield’s idea.
“It kind of happened naturally on that scaffolding scene with Peter 1, Peter 2, Peter 3,” said Garfield. “I remember having a lightning bolt and running into set and telling [director] Jon [Watts], ‘I got it, I got it!’”
Of course, we saw this meme represented in another Spider-Man movie too, with Into The Spider-Verse's post-credits scene. That movie saw Spider-Man 2099's Miguel O'Hara transported into the universe of the original cartoon, re-enacting the scene.
Spider-Man: No Way Home stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker, along with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their own versions of Spider-Man. They’re joined by Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Jon Favreau.
Jon Watts directed the movie from a script by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, based on characters created by comic book legend, Stan Lee.
