Spiderman's art of 'Climbing wall'!

Spider-Man doesn't climb walls. He crawls on the floor. Every wall-crawling shot you've ever seen in a Spider-Man movie is an illusion built with basic physics, not visual effects wizardry. The crew builds the "wall" flat on the ground. The actor lies down and crawls across it. A camera mounted overhead on a crane rotates as he moves, matching the angle shot by shot. In the edit, gravity cues get stripped out and suddenly it looks like a man is walking straight up the side of a building. This isn't new. Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man used this exact trick, with the actor suspended on wires above a set built on its side. Tom Holland's ceiling-crawl scenes went a step further, using a harness rigged to an overhead pulley system operated by stunt coordinators. Same idea Christopher Nolan used for the rotating hallway fight in Inception. No CGI. Just a flat set, a clever camera, and a crew willing to build an entire building sideways to sell one shot.
