- Reported earlier casting included Vince Vaughn with Zooey Deschanel, Mark Wahlberg as Pat and Anne Hathaway as Tiffany; the panel doubts these alternatives could match the final pairing.
- Reported Tiffany candidates include Elizabeth Banks, Kirsten Dunst, Angelina Jolie, Blake Lively, Rooney Mara, Rachel McAdams, Andrea Riseborough, Olivia Wilde and Emma Thompson; some claims draw skepticism and the options illustrate the risk of conventional quirky-romance casting.
- Lawrence’s toughness and partly goth styling are essential to avoiding cuteness; Vaughn might make a functional but lesser film, while Rob McElhenney and Kat Dennings are joking alternatives.

- Spider-Man movies are not at Apex here.
- Kirsten Dunst is named at Apex; The Power of the Dog and Marie Antoinette are raised against it, but Apex is defined as when she had the most juice, with Bring It On mattering more.
- The lead actor is a yes, with Spider-Man 2 considered combined with this film.
- For Spider-Man films overall, No Way Home is judged the Apex because of its box office after Endgame.
- This is called the director's Apex unless Multiverse of Madness surpasses it, although Army of Darkness is a personal favorite; a counterpoint says Spider-Man will always be his Apex.
Recasting Couch
Cillian Murphy as Harry Osborn; Bryce Dallas Howard or Scarlett Johansson as Mary Jane; Samuel L. Jackson as Norman Osborn; Tyrese as Harry Osborn

- Cillian Murphy is proposed to recast Harry Osborne, since the character lands better in Spider-Man 3 when he turns evil.
- Kirsten Dunst never quite worked as Mary Jane for one host; Bryce Dallas Howard or Scarlett Johansson is proposed, and a birth-year check settles that Johansson was old enough.
- With Bill Nunn and Octavia Spencer as the only Black actors, the goal is to add Black actors to the film. — Van Lathan
- Samuel L. Jackson as Norman and Tyrese as Harry would add a racial undertone to the Mary Jane triangle. — Van Lathan
- A comic-accurate addition gives both Jackson and Tyrese waves in their hair.
