Andrew Garfield says the moments where the three Spider-Men simply talk shop about being web-slingers were created on the fly, captured in long takes to see if any gold would surface. In a chat with Hits Radio about his most iconic roles, he explained that those exchanges weren’t scripted and that the improvised dialogue helped deliver a sense of closure for his run as Spider-Man.

Garfield described the sequence as the trio—Garfield’s Peter Parker, Maguire’s legacy web-slinger, and Holland’s MCU version—sharing experiences and comparing notes. He noted that there was a lot of material to cull from, and the improvised banter contributed to a closing of the circle for all three actors.

The actor said the moment when Maguire’s Spider-Man calls Garfield’s hero “Amazing” felt especially meaningful. For Garfield, hearing that line from someone who mentored his own Spider-Man era was both meta and personal, signaling a special, almost familial connection among the three actors.

Garfield also gave a nod to the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer, calling it “really, really cool.” As fans wait to see what lies ahead for the Wall-Crawler in the MCU, readers can explore our list of the most anticipated movies of 2026 for upcoming releases.
