The '60s cartoon meme is two Spider-Men pointing at one another in an episode where a villain impersonates Spider-Man.
The meme has been used over the years for several purposes, calling out hypocrisy being among the most popular. Sometimes, the meme features three Spider-Men.
There is a moment in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” where the three Spider-Man characters point at each other in homage to the meme, but not a perfect re-creation like the one posted on Wednesday for the home release.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” became the highest-grossing “Spider-Man” film thus far and is also now the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.
Appearing on the “Late Night with Seth Meyers”, Holland said someone wore a 'fake a**' in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but tells fans they have to "figure out" who.
He said: "I’ll give you a spoiler, and I’m not going to tell you who, but one of us has a fake a** in their suit!"
Instead of revealing which actor it was who wore the false bottom, Tom told fans to "figure it out " themselves during.
He added: "You can figure out that for yourselves. I remember being on set and being like ‘Wow! Oh, hang on a minute, now that’s not real.’”
