Spider-Man: No Way Home did something we never thought would happen on screen by having Tom Holland's Peter Parker team-up with the web-slingers played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
The scene in which they swing around the Statue of Liberty together is arguably one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most iconic pieces of imagery. Talking to Entertainment Tonight, Garfield revealed that he was able to experience this moment alongside moviegoers on opening night... with his fellow Spider-Man!
"I still can't believe it happened," Garfield said of his MCU experience. "I snuck into a theater on opening night and just watched with my baseball cap on and my mask. In fact, I was also with Tobey, me and Tobey snuck into a theater together and no one knew we were there. It was just a really beautiful thing to share together. And to find a brotherhood with Tobey as well, and with Tom, and the fact that we do share a very unique experience."
As for the possibility of playing Spider-Man again, Garfield responded: "Never say never."
"[If] there's a way for me to continue to add to the legacy of that character in a way that feels like it's of service to an audience, of service to the themes that Stan Lee injected that character with, I'm open, of course, I'm very, very open, but it would have to be very, very special. It would have to be very, very meaningful and fun, and joyful, like doing No Way Home was."
The actor concluded by saying, "It's always going to be a part of me, whether I'm playing the character or not, I feel very connected to him."
Garfield clearly valued his time working on Spider-Man: No Way Home and seems keen to revisit Peter Parker again should the opportunity present itself. Sony Pictures must have noticed the response to the return of the previous big screen Spider-Men, so we'd bet there are already plans in place for more adventures (if not, then it will be a major missed opportunity).
Spider-Man: No Way Home is now playing in theaters.
