22 photos that show how 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' looks without visual effects

First, he encountered Wong, the new Sorcerer Supreme, who emerged from a portal.

The ordinary lights were transformed into mystical doorways using VFX.

The team-up made sense since both characters are based in New York. Peter lives in Queens and the Sanctum Sanctorum is located at 177A Bleecker Street in Manhattan.

The wires were digitally removed for the final version of "No Way Home." Epsom salts were also used in place of real snow at the Sanctum Sanctorum.

This was due to Peter tampering with the magic mid-cast, by asking for people closest to him to be omitted from the spell.

In "NWH," Doctor Strange said that some of the walls were "thousands of years old." In reality, the room was constructed specifically for this movie.

The room started to shake and crack as Peter and Strange's feet were lifted off the floor.

The wires were then pulled back to show the effect of the unstable environment.

Molina portrayed Dr. Otto Octavius/Doc Ock in Sam Raimi's 2004 "Spider-Man" sequel starring Tobey Maguire as the web-slinger.

The mo-cap suit allowed the VFX team to track Holland's movements and digitally add his Iron Spider costume.

One of Doc Ock's tentacles kept the superhero in place.

According to Variety, the bridge scene was one of the first sequences filmed and it required more than 500 shots.

Moments later, Peter revealed his face and Doc Ock realized that this was not the version of the character that was his nemesis in "Spider-Man 2."

Holland and Molina filmed the scene in a room covered in blue screens, that way the scenery could be digitally added.

The cube was used to contain Doctor Strange's spell.

At one point during the scuffle, Peter got separated from his physical form but was still able to control the movements of his physical body.

The bright-green color allowed the object to get the VFX treatment in post-production.

Being in the Mirror Dimension allowed the two characters to continue fighting, without being seen by any bystanders or unintentionally hurting people in NYC.

Instead, they stood on a structure that was designed to look like the roof of a train.

Peter used his knowledge of geometry to outsmart Doctor Strange and escape with the box.

Cumberbatch has been portraying Dr. Stephen Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) since 2016's "Doctor Strange."

The action sequence involved the two actors violently flinging each other through glass walls and floors of the apartment building.

Dafoe and Holland executed some of the action choreography in a room lined with blue screens on the outside.

Goblin just laughed maniacally as Spider-Man beat him.

To keep the shot steady, the crew member rested the camera on a ladder.

Shortly after Goblin escaped, Aunt May died.

In multiple interviews, Dafoe said that he insisted on doing as many stunts as he could in "NWH."

Peter watched the news play on a large screen in Times Square.

The broadcast of Jameson was added digitally, thanks to the use of the blue screen in front of Holland.

The older Spider-Men comforted Holland's Peter after the death of Aunt May.

The actual school that was used for exteriors of Midtown High is called Franklin K. Lane High School and is located in Brooklyn, NY.

The famous monument was mid-renovation and surrounded by scaffolding.

The rest of the scenery was digitally added, since "NWH" was predominantly filmed in Atlanta, Georgia.

Foxx first portrayed the disgruntled Oscorp electrician in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," Garfield's second Spidey movie that was released in 2014.

The electricity that emanated from his body was also digitally added.

Maguire and Garfield's involvement in "NWH" was long-rumored for months, but still thrilling for fans. Audiences especially loved Garfield's heartfelt performance.

In the bonus features for the digital release of "NWH," Holland said that shot was "one of the hardest Spider-Man landings I've ever done because the crown was just so uneven and in the Spider-Man suit, you can't see anything and I was really trying to land in the most iconic Spider-Man pose."

In the bonus features, Maguire said that he was immediately blown away by Holland's talent, generosity, and vulnerability in the first scene they filmed together.

Wearing blue head-to-toe suits made it easy to digitally remove the crew members in post-production.

Garfield told Variety that the idea of his character saving MJ, after he failed to reach Gwen Stacy in time in "TASM 2," kind of sold him on reprising his role.

Holland low-key spoiled the moment during the "NWH" press tour when he told BBC Radio One's film critic Ali Plumb that he "wasn't there" when Zendaya filmed the scene.

Maguire's character acted quickly to intervene and stop him.

In an interview with Collider, Holland said that he and Dafoe exerted a lot of energy for the fight scenes and "collapsed to the floor."

Most of the silhouettes were difficult to see clearly, but fans spotted Kraven the Hunter and Scorpion trying to enter Holland's universe.

Meanwhile, Cumberbatch was attached to wires and suspended in the air.
