Spider-Man: No Way Home Writers Speaks Out About The Film’s Plot Hole


MCU’s latest film, No Way Home continues to dominate in the box office, even surpassing Avatar to become the third-highest grossing movie at the domestic box office. A lot of Marvel fans have been eager to learn everything about how the movie was made, and are very grateful to the recent interviews from the crew and cast. During IGN Fan Fest, the writers of No Way Home, Chris McKenna, and Erik Sommers addresses Venom’s possible futures. During the event, the writers were also asked about a ‘plot hole” as some fans have wondered about the physical evidence that were left behind after Doctor Strange’s spell erased everyone’s memories of Peter Parker. Although the writers know the answer, they aren’t giving any info about it yet.

"We talked about that a lot," McKenna said. "We can't divulge much, but just know we talked about it a lot and there were conversations about it. And I will say answering those questions by the end of the movie, felt like it would be almost too much to have to explain that, in this movie. So I would hope that it's one of those details that I feel like would've been a bridge too far for us to have to explain in this movie. But we have thoughts and answers."

"We deliberated a lot," Sommers explained. "Is it going to be like a Back to the Future kind of thing? Or are people going to be disappearing from photos? Are physical objects going to be disappearing? All these things. And like Chris said, ultimately, we decided that it would take so much time and real estate in the movie to explain all of that. It would just detract from the emotion of it."

"Believe me, we have answers to it," McKenna added. "But I don't think we're... We're not allowed to divulge that. But we have answers."

While Marvel fans wait to be able to watch No Way Home at home, they’re also waiting for news about another potential Spider-Man film. As of now, it’s unclear if Tom Holland will continue to play Spider-Man again, and while Holland seems to have mixed feelings about coming back, he’s not disregarding a return to Marvel.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is currently playing in theaters.
