Andrew Garfield and his return to the spider world

“I didn’t expect to have a conversation again about the possibility of playing Peter Parker. I was very excited to be a fan again, ”Garfield said. But I got a call from Amy Pascal, Kevin Feige and Jon Watts with this idea. I couldn’t refuse. It sounded incredibly funny, spiritual, mind-blowing, and interesting.. On a basic level, as a Spider-Man fan, just the idea of seeing three Spider-Man in the same frame was enough. ”
“The field was very, very tempting,” he continued in the interview. “They said: You played this character in your own way. What would you like to explore if you had a chance? If you were thrown into this other universe and faced with this younger you when you were older, how would you respond? “
Marvel’s creative team was especially interested in understand what Garfield wanted to explore with his return.
