- Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield all featured as Spider-Man in No Way Home.
- During the making of the film, the three actors understandably formed a bond with one another.
- That “brotherhood” was also a result of them all experiencing the difficulties of using the bathroom while dressed as Spider-Man.
As you’ve likely heard — unless you’ve been living on Mars, as outer space is likely the only place where you could’ve avoided this movie — Spider-Man: No Way Home made history as it united the three 21st century Spider-Mans on screen for the first time ever.
The appearance of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man franchise was not only a seminal moment for fans but served as a bonding moment for the three actors, who not only had a shared experience of *playing* Spider-Man on the big screen, but having to *pee* — yes, take a piss — while dressed as Spidey.
Andrew Garfield shared a unique confession about stepping back into the superhero costume for Spider-Man: No Way Home during Variety‘s Actors on Actors interview with Rachel Zegler.
“There was a brotherhood that got created between Tobey [Maguire], Tom [Holland] and myself,” Garfield said. “And that’s healing. We were like, ‘Oh, my God, you find it hard to pee in the suit? I find it hard to pee in the suit!’” [Variety via IndieWire]
