Andrew Garfield Reflects on His Experience Returning as Spiderman in No Way Home, Finding True Healing
Andrew Garfield was initially unsure about returning to the MCU world with Spiderman: No Way Home, but the experience turned out to be truly special. In an interview with Esquire, Garfield described his time working on Spiderman: No Way Home as “really healing.”
During his conversation with Josh Horowitz on his Happy Sad and Confused podcast, the We Live in Time actor reflected on his experience on the set of the 2021 blockbuster and what it meant to him.
Garfield mentioned that he was not nervous about joining the project, as director Jon Watts was very confident, which instilled confidence in the cast as well. He had multiple discussions with Watts before filming began to ensure that his character’s journey in the film would be fulfilling and meaningful.
Garfield believed that there was a greater purpose for the three Spiderman characters coming together in the same space, and everyone involved in the project, including Watts, Holland, and Maguire, agreed. The scene that convinced Garfield to take on the role was when his character caught MJ as she was falling, which felt like a redemption moment for his Spiderman.
He expressed to Horowitz that this particular scene was all he needed to be sold on the film. Garfield’s next project, John Crowley’s We Live in Time, opposite Florence Pugh, is set to hit theaters on October 11.
