A few days ago, Andrew Garfield claimed that the most emotional line of Spider-Man: No Way Home it had been improvised. The “I love you guys” his character whispered to the rest of Peter Parker’s incarnations was Garfield’s idea. Fruit of the moment and of emotion, in the middle of a sequence for the story. Also an euphoric response to a phenomenon that suddenly took on pop culture icon proportions. In a year in which Andrew Garfield’s career reached new momentum, returning to the red and black tights was the highest point. But also, one of many that catapulted Garfield to the top of stardom.
Today’s most famous star went through some troubles until he was crowned one of the defining personalities of 2021. To have a promising start with several major films that included Social network (2010) with David Fincher, Andrew Garfield was ready to become the next great young actor. Maybe that’s why Sony decided that the second reboot of the iconic Spider-Man would feature his face.
Although relatively little time had elapsed after the end of the Raimi trilogy, the studio decided to renew the story. And he did it through a realistic premise, new actors, and a contemporary goofy Spider-Man. Garfield’s incarnation lacked the humble and awkward cuteness of Tobey Maguire’s.. He was more like the kind, mischievous and brave boy in Brian Michael Bendis’s Ultimate Spiderman comic book series. And perhaps and against all odds it was an instant success.
Nevertheless, The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) Marc Webb did not meet expectations. In fact, there was considerable debate about his villains, their context and even the relevance of returning when telling the story of the New York hero. But one thing was for sure: Andrew Garfield had struck the right tone for the character. His charm, charisma, and the deep emotion that he brought to Webb’s Spider-Man was perhaps the highest point of an uneven movie.
By the time it was released The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro (2014) expectations were high. But whether it was because Garfield could not sustain a film without major attractions by dint of good acting, the reboot went under. By the end of 2014 it was already an open secret that the hypothetical closure of the Web trilogy would not occur. The duology, and the future of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, seemed to be on misty ground. Lastly, Sony simply dismissed the possibility.
