Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Andrew Garfield reveals how he and Tobey Maguire snuck into a screening and how it was a “beautiful thing to share.”
Spider-Man: No Way Home actors Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire celebrated their return to the franchise by sneaking in to an opening night screening.
Both Garfield and Maguire returned in No Way Home as their respective versions of Peter Parker/Spider-Man to support Tom Holland’s lead web-slinger. The trio struck a close camaraderie and this led to Garfield and Maguire sharing a special moment together. “I snuck into a theater on opening night and just watched with my baseball cap on and my mask,” Garfield told ET Online. “In fact, I was also with Tobey, me and Tobey snuck into a theater together and no one knew we were there. It was just a really beautiful thing to share together.”
Garfield spoke about his surprise at being asked to return as Spider-Man, a role he hadn’t played since 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. “I wasn’t expecting to ever have a conversation again about potentially playing Peter Parker,” Garfield explained. “I felt very excited to just to be a fan again. But I got this call from [producer] Amy Pascal and [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige and [director] Jon Watts with this idea. It was immediately undeniable. It sounded incredibly fun, incredibly spiritual — trippy and thematically interesting. On a base level, as a Spider-Man fan, just the idea of seeing three Spider-Men in the same frame was enough.”
When Garfield was originally pitched the idea of returning, it was the relationship between the three Spider-Men and their different outlooks on life that really stood out to him. “The pitch was really, really enticing,” Garfield recalled. “They said, ‘You played this character in your way and what would you want to explore if you had an opportunity? If you were dumped into this other universe and faced with this younger you and this older you, how will you respond?'”
Garfield isn’t opposed to reprising the role one more time, either, as long as the story is right. “I mean, yes, definitely open to something if it felt right,” Garfield said. “Peter and Spider-Man, those characters are all about service, to the greater good and the many. He’s a working-class boy from Queens that knows struggle and loss and is deeply empathetic. I would try to borrow Peter Parker’s ethical framework in that, if there was an opportunity to step back in and tell more of that story, I would have to feel very sure and certain in myself.”
Spider-Man: No Way Home is currently playing in theaters.
