Considering the multiversal nature of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Marvel fans have long been wondering if any kind of mention will be made of the live-action versions of the character. Suspicions that Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland were raised even further when the events of No Way Home were explicitly referenced in the latest trailer for the movie. Speaking with extraTV at CinemaCon, the film’s stars Shameik More, Hailee Steinfeld, and Issa Rae were asked about the potential for cameos by the former Spider-Man actors, answering with laughter and apprehension.

“I know Haley Steinfeld’s in it,” Moore said with some suspicious laughter. “Issa Rae’s in it. Daniel Kaluuya… Jake Johnson! I forgot about Jake Johnson.” Steinfeld added, “Yeah there are so many, there’s some treats. This wouldn’t be what it is if there weren’t some treats.” Naturally these deflections by the cast won’t do anything to make fans think that Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland’s versions of Spider-Man AREN’T in the movie, luckily the wait won’t be that long before we can finally see it.
