With yet another new installment of the ever-popular Spider-Man movies titled Spider-man: Homecoming coming this summer, it's really hard to believe that it only took well over four years since the last time a new actor was welcomed for the role.
That actor was no other than Andrew Garfield, who portrayed as the friendly neighborhood Spider-man in a pair of movies - in 2012 and 2014 - in which were a part of a planned Sony-produced universe that was ultimately canceled when Sony made and agreement with Marvel to bring Spidey back to the MCU.
The new Spider-man is legit
The latest Peter Parker-slash-Spider-Man, Tom Holland, was a huge surprise that made a globally well-received debut on this year's Captain America: Civil War film. He will be taking his newfound fame in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming next July. But as the film comes nearer, fans might be wondering about Andrew Garfield's take on all of this.
Andrew Garfield is happy for Tom Holland
The former Spider-Man formally addressed his successor in a recent interview where he reveals that he's more than happy that a third Amazing Spider-Man film never surfaced. He added that he's very excited about what Marvel will do with his formerly portrayed character.
Garfield said, "If I am being totally honest, I am so excited Spider-Man is back in the hands of Marvel. I think that's a really awesome move."
He further stated, "I'm also excited for Tom [Holland]. I think he's a very truthful, emotional, physical, funny actor, and I love the filmmaker - it all really couldn't be in any better hands. I'm really ecstatic about it."
Andrew is perfectly fine with all of it
So Spidey fans, don't cry for Andrew Garfield. It appears that he has no hard feelings at all about losing the Spider-man role. As he said in another interview, by no longer being obliged to play Spider-Man, it has opened up other opportunities for him as an actor.
Currently, he is set to star this fall in films from a pair of Oscar-winning directors, Martin Scorsese's Silence in December and Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge.
