Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are the talks of the Marvel Collection, with their respective Marvel characters officially joining the MCU in No Way Home.
Uniting for a record-breaking box office run, seeing Garfield and Maguire’s Peter Parker’s interact with Tom Holland’s superhero was a match made in Heaven that the actors didn’t even need to read before joining the Marvel project:
Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield signed onto #SpiderManNoWayHome before they saw anything. “They hadn’t seen anything. They knew the idea, they trusted everyone…” said writer Chris McKenna.

Here’s McKenna’s full quote:
“We have to get these pages to them. It was so great. They were on board, but they hadn’t seen anything. They knew the idea, they trusted everyone, but we were in the middle of the war of making the movie, changing so much, but also — we were heading toward shooting them, so they had to see pages and basically see, ‘OK, we know there has been a pandemic. We know this thing has gone through a million changes, we know it’s been really difficult.’ Luckily they read the pages and they were like, ‘Oh, OK, yes! We can work with this.'”

Co-screenwriter Erik Sommers then commented:
They had thoughts, and it was really interesting and helpful to see their thoughts. No one knows the character as well as — or gives as much thought to the character — as someone who has to then embody it and sell it. It’s always valuable to hear what the actor is thinking. It definitely shaped what we did.

Sommers and McKenna later shared how Maguire and Garfield “elevated” the ending of No Way Home, particularly with the critical rooftop scene where the three Spider-Men officially meet and talk about their respective struggles as the beloved super hero.

Nonetheless, seeing these two legendary actors share the Spidey load with Tom Holland’s Avenger was a ground-breaking experience, one that came naturally and was fueled by the actors and their love for their respective characters.
