While Maguire’s Peter Parker was a dorky, hopeless romantic obsessed with his lifelong crush Mary-Jane (and living in one of the New York’s most decrepit apartment buildings), Garfield’s was a moody, snarky high school student living comfortably in Queens, mourning the loss of his parents and pining for the affections of Gwen Stacy, played by the actor’s real-life girlfriend Emma Stone. The studio quickly launched a reboot, recasting the lead and pivoting to a different storyline entirely. The Amazing Spider-Man movies landed with a thud relative to their predecessors Spidey films-perhaps not surprising, given that the impetus for them was that Sony didn’t want its license on the money-making character to lapse after Raimi and Maguire declined to return for a fourth movie. After nearly a decade away from the superhero genre, and a disappointing turn within it, it turns out that Garfield was game to be an excellent Peter Parker all along. While Maguire’s return might be the movie’s most anticipated, Garfield has the most to make up for-he’s the one who really needs a second chance, and the movie seems to know it. Despite Garfield’s repeated protestations otherwise, he indeed appears in the film he’s on-screen plenty, and he’s the first alternate Spider-Man we’re treated to seeing in the movie. No Way Home introduces MCU Peter Parker to Sam Raimi’s Peter, aka Tobey Maguire, and Marc Webb’s Peter Parker, aka Andrew Garfield. The movie allows for a surprisingly impactful reappraisal of a long-held Spidey franchise consensus.Īnd I’m about to spoil it all for you, so if you haven’t seen this Endgame-sized hype machine of a movie yet: Bye! (Who cares if the villain from the single worst Spider-Man movie in history is back?) Not only are the real spoilers for No Way Home more exciting than the multiverse allowing for all these old villains to come together, but they’ve got retrospective power. The secrets that No Way Home really keeps close to the vest, however, are way more exciting than seeing the return of Electro. Thanks for signing up!
