Once a Spider-Man, always a Spider-Man!
After portraying the webslinger in the two previous franchises, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire found a covert way to partake in the opening night of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in order to support the film’s current hero Tom Holland.
Spoiler alert: Garfield and Maguire appear in the new chapter and didn’t attend the official premiere so as not to tip off fans prior to the film’s release, noted Variety. So the two actors took matters into their own hands to see the final product.
“I still can’t believe it happened,” Garfield told Entertainment Tonight. “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.”
Garfield also reflected on the close bond he has with Maguire and Holland after all taking on the role of Peter Parker in the various franchises over the last two decades.
He added: "And to find a brotherhood with Tobey as well, and with Tom, and the fact that we do share a very unique experience.”
