Holland said this allowed him to “lay down the law” on the “Spider-Man” set “and say, ‘We are not going to come to set and figure it out. We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?’ And Destin was super instrumental in that, but it was just really great to constantly be calling up the studio and [producers] Amy [Pascal] and Rachel [O’Connor], who I love, and be like, ‘Well, Chris is doing it this way. This is how I think we should be doing it.’ ”

Apparently Sony allowed Holland to postpone Spider-Man production due to how reliable Christopher Nolan is to actually wrapping up on time. Holland said this ended up beneficial because it allowed them to hire Destin Daniel Cretton (director of Shang-Chi) and give him a proper six months for further script development.

so after the extremely important post observing Grace is wearing Ilyukhina's dress during his crash out, i feel it is my civic duty to catalog Grace's wardrobe shifts during this sequence. important science. gender science. as if there were not enough science on that with Grace already.

This sequence is non-linear, jumping back and forth, so I'll try to put them in order.

CRASHOUTFIT ONE:

PHM shirt, workout shorts, what seem to be PHM socks, and his horrible flat sole sneakers. This is all probably his own clothes or communal PHM clothes.

(I am 80% sure he's wearing fucking KEDS. So apparently Grace does not require arch support. Or comfort. Or any grip on the soles of his shoes. Maybe this is a factor in his clumsiness.)

CRASHOUTFIT TWO:

When he's going through everyone's effects, he's in longer drawstring sweatpants, his PHM polo, and what I've determined to be a hospital cloak. It's cut the same way as the medical garb and doesn't have the same pockets/fasteners you'd expect from normal clothes.

CRASHOUTFIT THREE:

Grace really likes Ilyukhina's clothes. Read into this what you will, I know I am. But he also has plastic sunglasses, and a beach hat for the WHAM! Big Tour, which. Is wild. Ilyukhina's silk robe is the clear focal point here.

I want to note that I believe Grace has another of her dresses on the floor of the lab when Rocky first shows up. Also, Grace seems to be very careful and conscientious of the silk robe; it looks like he's hand-washed it and has hung it up on his improvised airlock clothesline.

(Why is that a dress? It has a similar look and pattern repetition to the other dress Ilyukhina wore, and when Grace briefly picks it up to try cleaning the room, the weight of it is floaty like a dress would be.)

CRASHOUTFIT FOUR:

Grace loves oversized jackets and cardigans. He seems of the opinion outwear should hang down below the hips and above/around the knees. Love that. Here, as he tries to remember who tf he is, he's in a thick, warm-looking robe and the fox mask. The mask is interesting; Eva Stratt leaves him a lil fox figurine as a gift with his effects, and we know/can infer most of the things packed for Grace were from her and the team since he was drugged into oblivion. So maybe Stratt's order was "just find fox-themed stuff and bring it to me."

CRASHOUTFIT FIVE:

There it is! But oh man this makes my heart hurt. Grace seems to be dressed in as much as he can be. The dress but also two different hats, the sunglasses, his cardigan, and what looks like another jacket under the cardigan. It gives the impression he's wearing as much of the crew's clothes as he can, as if trying to hold onto them in the only way his drunk brain can.

BONUS HEARTBREAK OBSERVATION:

Grace locates the NASA jumpsuits then makes the conscious decision to dress the bodies of Yao and Ilyukhina in their own before eulogizing them. This is apparently a detail lifted from the book, where Grace does the same thing, takes the extra time.
