In an interview with the newspaper The Independient, Andrew Garfield recalled when in 2013 he spoke for another medium where he suggested that for a new Spider-Man film, the romantic interest of the wall-crawler is from the LGTB community.
“I worked harder than I’ve ever worked on anything and I’m really proud of it, but I didn’t feel represented (…) There was an interview (in 2013) that I gave where I said, ‘Why can’t Peter explore his bisexuality? in your next movie? Why can’t MJ be a boy? ‘… So (Sony executives) put a lot of pressure on me to retract and apologize for saying something that is legitimate to think and feel”.
