SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Star Tom Holland Admits He Felt Guilty Lying To Everyone About Those Big Returns

Spider-Man: No Way Home star Tom Holland has finally admitted to feeling bad about repeatedly claiming in interviews that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would not be part of the MCU blockbuster...

Spider-Man: No Way Home was an incredibly secretive movie, with even press shown only 37 minutes of footage prior to conducting interviews with the cast. Sony Pictures was determined to keep Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's respective returns under wraps, though some huge leaks in the months leading up to last December made their comebacks one of Hollywood's worst kept secrets.

None of us were 100% certain they'd be back, of course, especially with Tom Holland and Garfield repeatedly denying that we'd see more than just the one Spider-Man in the Marvel Studios threequel.

Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the Uncharted star finally admitted to feeling bad about telling so many fibs. "I am a very honest person, by nature," Holland started. "Which has gotten me into trouble in the past. Every time I say like, 'So, Tobey...' I'm like 'Shh, shut up! Don't say that!' So, yeah, I'm just very honest."

"So, on the press tour, journalists are like, 'So, were Tobey and Andrew in this movie?' I'm like, 'No, they're not. Stop asking me that.' And I go home and almost can't sleep. I'm calling up my mom. 'I just feel so guilty for all the lies.'"

Before we judge the actor too harshly, it's worth noting he was under strict orders from the studios to keep quiet, and was no doubt looking to make those big returns a surprise for moviegoers. After all, those cheers would not have been quite so loud had we seen Tobey and Andrew in the trailers!

Check out Holland very carefully answering our questions about Maguire and Garfield in our interview with the actor prior to Spider-Man: No Way Home's release in theaters last year.

It was easily the worst kept secret in Hollywood but I give the credit to the cast and crew for not spoiling it in the marketing and in the press. Many of us knew it would happen but many didn’t and were pleasantly surprised. I knew the other two Spideys were going to be in it going in but I was still in awe. This movie was unreal.

@MovieMonster - I think even a lot of who "knew" they'd be in it, were still surprised when they actually did show up. The lack of spoilers from Sony, who usually spoil everything, had me doubting myself right up until the portal opened.

You did a good job at that Tom, i myself denied to believe the rumors, until the last couple of days where i started to get anxious about the movie,and really started to believe lol it enhanced my movie experience tho.

Relax Tom you did something for the greater good. It's ok.

Andrew: I loved lying, it was great fun
Tom: I felt so guilty

I also like how they still never released any marketing after the fact with tobey/andrew scenes whatsoever.
