MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME!!!!
Okay. SO, we all know that Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire reprised their roles as Spider-Man and, well, Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Though their appearances have been heavily rumored, Garfield and Maguire have been denying their involvement in the film for AGES — in particular, Garfield, who seems to have dealt with the question far more than Maguire.
man was denying his own existence at some point
Garfield has done a lot more press (for other movies) in the last couple years and is the most recent Spider-Man before Tom Holland, so this makes sense.
