The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t the same without Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. The legendary actor is finally recognized for his immense talent with an Emmy nomination for his Under the Banner of Heaven series.
Andrew Garfield will forever be known as the charismatic Peter Parker of Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, but the actor is much more. After stealing the show in The Social Network (2010), Andrew Garfield became a household name.
Now, with The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021), Tick, Tick… Boom! (2021), Hacksaw Ridge (2016), and Martin Scorsese’s highly underrated Silence (2017) under his belt, Garfield is quite literally one of the greatest actors of his generation.
With two Academy Award nominations in his catalog, the Marvel alum has now picked up his first Emmy nomination for Best Lead Actor in a Limited Series:
