"It definitely is a family," Maguire said in an interview. "My relationship has really grown with all of them."
Maguire added: "I really respect and really appreciate the dynamics that we have as a little company, a little troop or a little family. I love working with Kirsten and James and the whole cast that I have worked with before. And it's Sam who's the key. His vision as a filmmaker is incredible, and we definitely have a real shorthand. Plus, I have a lot of fun with him."
Next Maquire comments on newest members who joined the third installment, includeing Topher Grace, Thomas Hayden Church and Bryce Dallas Howard who play Eddie Brock/Venom, Sandman and Gwen Stacy respectively. "They brought a lot to the table," Maguire said. "They bring everything that they bring, which is a ton of stuff. Topher has a real enthusiasm for the genre and comic books and for playing this character that he's playing. So he brought lots of excitement and energy to it. I think he did a great job. I think Venom will be really cool.
"Thomas and Sam got together early on, while the script was in process, and discussed the character and the development of Thomas' character, and I know that Thomas had a lot to do with that," Maguire added. "I think he did a fantastic job with Sandman. And Bryce is just terrific. She's lovely, and she's a great actress and is really intelligent. I really had a great time working with all of them."
