Ok so Andrew Garfield spent most of 2021 playing the Werewolf game with the entire world.
-
I was kinda hoping that he'd continue to deny
being in the film and even on his deathbed would be telling people that he's not the
werewolf.
However the actor has now opened up about his part in Spider-Man No Way home and he's
also teased what could be coming in the future with the character.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking down all the interviews that he's given over
the last couple of days whilst also talking about our theories on what could happen next.
With that out the way, welcome to the Heavy spoilers show, I'm your host Paul, now let's
get into the breakdown.
Ok so Spider-man No Way Home was the biggest movie of 2021 and it capitalised on 20 years
of storytelling after it brought Tobey and Andrew back as their versions of the wallcrawler.
Throughout the year we watched Andrew getting more and more exhausted as people constantly
asked if he was in it.
Several leaks happened and not even a Doctor Strange spell could make us forget some of
the times he got caught in 4k.
Finally though he can now talk about what's happened and we have a brand new interview
with Entertainment tonight that I wanna breakdown first.
-
I absolutely love how giddy he is in this and
if you were following his portrayal in the Amazing Spider-man movies you might remember
that Garfield actually opened up about worshipping the webhead when he was a kid.
Garfield was a super fan of the character and in all honesty I think he's my favourite
onscreen spider-man.
Seeing the three together at the same time side by side kinda reminded me of just how
good that he actually was and I think that he gave such a good performance that everyone
can now appreciate what he brought to the role.
Now the in the interview he went on to talk about the themes of being a hero and how he
and Tobey played a mentoring role to Tom Holland's version.
Garfield said:
"The theme of mentorship and how these two people across the universe were the only ones
that could really, fully understand what this young man was going through, and that was
really important to us as well, that it was really about Tom and Tom's character, Tom's
Peter, Tom's journey as the center of that,"
When we think about the movie there's very much the theme running through it that Peter
could end up going down the dark path that they did.
Both at one point discuss how the big death in their life changed who they were as a person
and it's almost a warning to Tom Holland's version.
Now Tobey's Peter stops Tom from killing the person that was responsible for Aunt May's
death.
Him being the person that somewhat led to the death of the guy that was working with
Flint Marko and killed Uncle Ben haunted him a lot.
Also I hate that retcon man, having to jump through those hoops of explaining Uncle Ben's
death everytime does my head in so I hope that Feige just steps in one day and says
it was always him.
Anyway, that steered him away from One Direction but Andrew's was a lot more subtle.
Gwen Stacy dying was very much what stopped him from pulling his punches and thus him
stopping MJ from falling to her death also meant that Tom wouldn't be angered about losing
the love of his life.
In the interview Garfield also revealed that he and Tobey snuck into a screening of the
film alongside Director Jon Watts.
They said they initially wanted to just stay there to see what the reaction was like when
they returned but that they ended up sitting through the entire film because ey, it's just
that good.
Now Garfield also did an interview with Variety and he shared some behind the scenes info
saying:
I think the first time we were all in the suit together, it was hilarious because it’s
like just three ordinary dudes who were just actors just hanging out.
But then also, you just become a fan and say, “Oh my god we’re all together in the suits
and we’re doing the pointing thing!”
We would have deeper conversations, too, and talk about our experiences with the character.
And to have Amy Pascal there, who has seen through nine movies, including “Spider-Verse.”
It was a revelatory experience for her, realizing how much life and time she’d given to this
character.
That was beautiful and profound.
Really nice tidbit that and I know Amy Pascal often gets a lot of crap but she has very
much guided the character for a long time and even though not all of the films she's
created have been universally loved I think that she's had way way more hits than misses.
Now garfield went onto talk about improvising lines in the film and he confirmed that the
moment in which he says he loves Tom and Tobey was ad-libbed.
This is such a great part of the film and it almost feels like he's speaking from the
heart when he delivers it.
Also I love you guys and if you've enjoyed the video so far then we'd massively appreciate
the thumbs up and also don't forget to subscribe for videos like this every day.
Also make sure spoil yourself with some heavy supplements.
Available online or some s..t.
Now when discussing the future of his character, Andrew had to remain pretty tightlipped but
he did say the following.
I mean, yes, definitely open to something if it felt right.
Peter and Spider-Man, those characters are all about service, to the greater good and
the many.
He’s a working-class boy from Queens that knows struggle and loss and is deeply empathetic.
I would try to borrow Peter Parker’s ethical framework in that, if there was an opportunity
to step back in and tell more of that story, I would have to feel very sure and certain
in myself.
Now the fact that Andrew has said he's open to return and Sony being Sony, I can definitely
see him coming back.
Sony aren't exactly Warner Bros and they do listen to their fans, especially if they know
things are gonna make money.
Pretty much the entire MCU deal hinged on people complaining that Spider-man wasn't
part of it and I think that you can pretty much guarantee that they'll find a way to
work things out.
Sony also of course want a lot more control of their IP and I can potentially see us getting
Tom staying in the MCU whilst Andrew goes off and continues his own franchise.
This could be more connected to their other properties like Venom and just in the same
way that Miles Morales will be interacting with a lot more versions of Spider-man, he
could too.
I'd absolutely love to see him united with Spider-Gwen and if they brought Emma Stone
back then it would be a licence to print money.
Now Morbius was originally supposed to release at the end of the month but it was pushed
back.
Because of this a lot of people have theorised that Andrew will be shooting additional scenes
for it but my spoiler sense is kinda tingling on that a bit.
And by spoiler sense I mean bullS**t radar.
You have to remember that Sony already knew Andrew was gonna be in the movie for several
years so I think that they would already have things planned out.
I think that Andrew will have probably already have shot scenes if he's going to be in it
and I think the delay was more to do with the pandemic and giving No Way Home a bit
more room to breathe at the box office.
Now I do think that he will probably show up in Morbius and if not we riot.
Beyond that though in terms of the MCU I actually think that ecerything is building up towards
secert wars.
This is something we reported on after Avengers Endgame and there have been rumours for a
while that it's coming.
Incase you don't know, Secret Wars basically involved the multiverse being cracked open
and alternate worlds had to battle for their survival.
There were tonnes of different versions of the characters and with the events of Loki
happening the way they did, I think that's what we're building towards.
This would allow Andrew to come into the main universe to fight for his world's existence
and yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
Now as for Tobey, I kinda think he might show up in Doctor Strange in the multiverse of
Madness.
You might remember that we reported a while back that Feige actually got Raimi back to
somewhat also help secure Tobey for No Way Home.
With the director and actor being so closely linked in their career and the multiverse
also ripping open I can see him possibly showing up in that film and it would be great to see
him back.
In the end though I am a bit annoyed with Andrew though.
He spent ages denying it, constantly saying that he wasn't in No Way Home.
Then the movie comes out and all of a sudden he's like 'yeah I'm in it and I always was.'
It's clout chasing, it's bloody clout chasing I tell you and I don't like it.
Anyway you know we love to end the videos with a crap joke and there it is but I know
there's a lot to talk about with this.
