Andrew Garfield reveals Tobey Maguire scene was improvised

    by Jeremias: Andrew Garfield

    Andrew Garfield says that moment where Tobey Maguire calls him 'amazing' in Spider-Man: No Way Home wasn't scripted. The whole sequence of the three Spider-Men, three Peter Parkers, comparing notes was improvised in long takes to see if they'd find gold. Hearing it from Tobey, who was his Spider-Man growing up, felt so meta and personal and perfect. He's just happy to be part of the legacy, and that perspective kept him grounded. #AndrewGarfield

    I mean the scene in No Way Home when Toby calls you amazing honestly makes me choke up. Did you ever expect that outpour of love years on? No, not at all. But also like all that was improvised. So like all of that sequence was improvised. Like talking about, like comparing notes about, the idea was like, oh god you just want the three Spider-Men, three Peter Parkers to talk about their experiences and compare notes. Let's just do long takes and see if there's any gold in there and there was so much to choose from. and that moment took me by so i was like oh that's really that was sweet um and hearing it from toby who was my spider-man growing up it was all just so meta and so kind of personal and perfect and yeah um no i didn't i i i was very very happy to just be a part of it really like to be part of the legacy that that was that was what was always so kept me grounded through that whole experience of when I was, when I was in the suit in the first two films I did was like, it's like a torch being passed. Like it's not personal. You're a part of something much greater than you. And I thought if I hadn't have had that perspective, I might've gone a bit mad.
