When several generations of Spider-Man come together as they did in the recently released Spider-Man: No Way Home, it's only natural that the actors behind the mask would compare their various Spidey suits, with Amazing Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield recalling one of his fellow Spider-Men being jealous of a particularly handy feature included in his costume.
Remembering the first time they were all in their respective suits, Garfield discussed what it was like on the set of No Way Home with three live-action Spider-Men. "[Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and I] talked about what worked for each of us," Garfield said during an interview with Variety. "[Holland] was jealous because I have little zippers in my suit that I can get my hands out of very easily." In fact, Garfield recalled how Holland was forced to resort to a work-around in order to use his phone while suited up, saying, "To work his phone, he had to use his nose because he couldn't access his hands."
Garfield recalled other memories during his time with Holland and Maguire while working on No Way Home, as Garfield discussed what it was like not only as a fan of Spider-Man himself but as one of several actors who have portrayed the character on the big screen. "I think the first time we were all in the suit together," Garfield said, "it was hilarious because it’s like just three ordinary dudes who were just actors just hanging out. But then also, you just become a fan and say, 'Oh my god we’re all together in the suits and we’re doing the pointing thing!'... We would have deeper conversations, too, and talk about our experiences with the character."
Garfield summed up his experience with his fellow Spider-Men, as the actor went on the reveal the origins behind one of his improvised lines in No Way Home. "There's a line I improvised in the movie, looking at [Maguire and Holland] and I tell them I love them," Garfield said. "That was just me loving them."
Though it's been nearly a decade since Garfield last donned the Spidey suit in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the actor has recently spoken about returning to the role in a potential future project. Garfield has also discussed what brought him on board No Way Home's multiversal cast, mentioning how one particular scene sold him on suiting up as the Web-Slinger once again. Garfield has elaborated further on the initial pitch for the film when he was approached by Sony and Marvel, detailing the concept that would allow him to explore an old character in a new way.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is in theaters now.
