While filming onSpider-Man: Homecominghas wrapped, that doesn’t meanTom Holland’s duties in front of the camera are over. Of course there are the inevitable reshoots—every Marvel movie (and blockbuster) does them—but also, as theHomecomingteam digs into the post-production on the film, there’s the intricate visual effects. One aspect of this involves recording the facial movements of Holland so that when Peter Parker and/or Spider-Man is created digitally (like his almost entirely CG cameo inCivil War), the precise expressions of Holland are reflected.
So with post-production underway, directorJon Wattsrecently shared a video of Holland coming in to record some facial capture, and it’s a pretty entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the film. While this all turns out to look badass onscreen, the sausage-making process that goes into creating a CG version of Spider-Man can be quite silly.
It’ll be interesting to see the balance between CG and practical effects in the film. DirectorMarc Webbupped the ante in terms of practical stunts forThe Amazing Spider-Manfilms whileSam Raimiopted to use then-cutting-edge technology to create Spidey’s New York City web-slinging scenes. Marvel Studios is well-versed in crafting all-CG characters, asRobert Downey Jr.now only really needs to be on set when Iron Man’s helmet is off. When it’s on, that’s a CG character you’re watching.
Anyway, check out the new behind-the-scenes video below. We’ll see the finished product whenSpider-Man: Homecomingopens in theaters on August 02, 2025.
