If you didn’t see the movie, it goes without saying: watch out for spoilers. Almost a month after the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Andrew Garfield spoke about how Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige asked him to reprise his role as Peter Parker.
We are days away from one month of the most anticipated premiere of 2021. Spider-Man: No Way Home continues to attract people to the movies and has already become the eighth highest grossing film in history. This third installment of Spiderman from Tom holland not only did she thrill (and continues to thrill) many people, but she is also considered a fan service for all the surprises, winks and references that it brought for the followers of this superhero. One of these (and the largest) is the return of the Peter parker previous: Tobey Maguire Y Andrew Garfield. The latter told in an interview how Kevin Feige, director of Marvel studios, asked him to come back to play this iconic role.
The appearance of these actors in Spider-Man: No Way Home was one of the most talked about topics of 2021. In every interview I did Andrew Garfield They asked him about it, however, the actor did not tire of denying his participation. This got to be funny at one point, as it seemed like Garfield I wanted to convince those people who were more than sure that I was going to be in the film with Maguire.
Now that the movie has been running for weeks, Garfield that weight was lifted off her shoulders and she was free to talk about her participation in No way home as the “middle brother” and told in an interview with Variety how Kevin Feige asked him to reprise his role as Peter parker and put on the suit again Spider-man.
“I wasn’t expecting to have a conversation about the possibility of reprising Peter parker. I was very excited to be a fan again. But I got this call from Amy Pascal, Kevin Feige and Jon Watts with this idea. It was immediately undeniable. It sounded unbelievably funny, unbelievably spiritual, mind-boggling, and thematically interesting. On a basic level, as a fan of Spider-man, just the idea of seeing three Spider men in the same scene it was enough”, He explained Garfield.
He also added: “the proposal was really very tempting. They said, ‘You played this character in your own way, what would you like to explore if you had the chance? If you were thrown into this other universe and found this younger you and this older you, how would you respond? ‘”.
In addition, the actor referred to Holland, Maguire and him as brothers and spoke about the course that each one went through as Spider-man. “We talk a lot about tutoring. We talk a lot about brotherhood and what it means to be older, younger, and middle brother. There is also something when you see someone you love walk a path that you have already traveled, and you know that it does not lead to the destination you thought you were going to reach “, expressed Garfield. “That character is isolated in his emotional and physical experience. But what happens when that loneliness snaps open and you realize that you were never alone and that there are other siblings who are going through exactly the same thing? That is a great spiritual journey to continue. And then we took advantage of all the fun we could have”.
Apparently it was not very difficult to convince Andrew Garfield so that he can resume his role as Spider-man. Of course, he had to do a great job so that no detail escaped him in all the interviews they did with him. If we compare it with Tom holland and your history of revealing spoilers or movie details on press tours, Garfield he showed off and kept the secret very well. Greater is the achievement if we consider that, during the past year, this actor had to promote two films (The Eyes of Tammy Faye and tick, tick… BOOM!) And face several interviews and questions on the subject. On the other hand, Tobey Maguire, by not participating in another project other than No way home, he had little problem hiding his participation.
