Spider-Man: No Way Homehas been a massive success by any metric, and one of the things that made the movie a hit was that it brought so many of the actors who have played the character over the years together in one package. However, as it turns out, Chris Pine was left out of the mashup that saw Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield together, but he is apparently ok with it.
One of the reasons that fans might have not even realized that Pine was being left out ofSpider-Man: No Way Homeis that he likely played the most under-the-radar version of Peter Parker on the big screen. The man who is best known as Captain Kirk intheStar Trekrebootsplayed the version of Spider-Man who died early on inInto the Spider-Verse. Because of that, he was overshadowed a bit by Jake Johnson, who coincidentally also didn’t make an appearance inNo Way Home.

Pine recently sat down for an interview with Yahoo Entertainment where he talked about being ok with not being included inSpider-Man: No Way Home. When asked about not appearing with Maguire, Holland and Garfield, he simply said that the movie had a “full team already.” Pine added that he understands why he was left out ofthe latestSpider-Manmovie because of just how packed the cast was as a whole. However, he also said that he had quite a bit of fun playing the part of the friendly neighborhood webhead.
Pine said he especially loved the introductory scene where he was hocking a bunch of merchandise and singing a bunch of songs. The actor also said he really enjoyed singing the Christmas Spider-Man songs that were front and center in the film. He enjoyed all of that despite the fact that he ended up being killed by the oversized fists of the Kingpin, which allowed Miles Morales to grow into his role.
Since Pine didn’t appear inNo Way Home, it seems as though he’s left the role of Peter Parker behind forever. Of course, while his character did die as part of the plot forInto the Spider-Verse, the entire premise of the movie is that there are an infinite number of Peter Parkers all over the multiverse. WithSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseofficially being in production, there is always a chance that the actor could eventually bring his character back.
