SpiderManNoWayHome screenwriters Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna have explained the challenges behind crafting the film's epic third act with so many moving parts to consider. WARNING! Spoilers ahead:
The writers of Spider-Man: No Way Home have shared some details about how they crafted the third act, and all the difficulties that went into it. Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers have become deeply involved in crafting the MCU ever since they were brought on to rewrite 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming. The two also wrote the script for Ant-Man and the Wasp, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and most recently took on the mega event that was Tom Holland's third solo Spidey film.
Sommers: Well, the third acts are traditionally tricky, because we know it’s going to involve a big action sequence and we know we’re drawing everything to a close and so it’s always a challenge. This one was no different, except for the fact that I would say just overall the degree of difficulty was higher on this movie because we had more moving pieces, we had all these other characters....We were always working on it, and all the way up to the day we’re shooting it, we’re working on it.
Sommers: When you’re facing any Act 3, you ideally have set up a lot of things and you need to pay them off and draw them to a close and everything. You’re trying to tell the best story, so everything has to be in service of that. So that’s why we keep working on these things — it’s not just because, “Oh, this will be the coolest visual thing.” That’s all considerations, of course. Always. But it’s all in service of the character and the journey of Peter Parker.
