It was more than likely scheduling problems + the pandemic. Ifans would've filmed just a scene anyways, and Church would've need to be on set for quite some time. Hence, the schedule problems. Voice acting can be done without even traveling.
Okay, so in the final battle with Strange casting the spell I could see Kraven and comic accurate Rhino. Anyone else got a glimpse of other villains?
Peter's apartment reminded me a lot of the one we saw in Raimi's films.
And I guess this movie finally confirms it. There is no uncle Ben in the MCU. And if there was, he was not that relevant to Peter's life. Maybe he even died before Peter started living with May.
Killing Aunt May is not something I'm loving. But I see the twist they wanted to go with.
Both Tony and May took the role of Ben. Tony taught Peter how to be Super. May taught him how to be a Hero.
