For good reason — he hasn’t seen either film.
“I don’t want to be disingenuous,” Garfield told me Wednesday at the premiere of his historical action drama “The Uprising” at the DGA in West Hollywood. “A movie making money and people going to see it is an incredible thing, but I will reach out to him once I’ve seen [“Spider-Man”], which I’m very excited to see. And his other film, ‘The Odyssey,’ I haven’t managed to see either yet. I will send him a message when I see the work he has done.”
Garfield, who played the web-slinger in two Spidey movies and reprised his role in “Spider-Man: Now Way Home” alongside Holland and fellow former “Spider-Man” star Tobey Maguire.
“Everyone has ownership over him, he’s everybody’s, and he’s decent and he’s good and he’s ordinary, and he’s extraordinary like all of us,” Garfield said. “It’s impossible not to see yourself in that character.”
And speaking of playing “Spider-Man” again, Garfield once again insisted he won’t be appearing “Avengers: Doomsday.” “I’m not.” he said when I asked if he’s in the upcoming MCU movie.
I reminded him that he has a reputation for not telling the truth because he lied about not being in “No Way Home.” “You’ll find out, I suppose, one way or another,” Garfield said, smiling.
Director Paul Greengrass told me Garfield insisted on doing most of his own stunts for the film’s many fight scenes. “He allowed me and what my could manage,” Garfield said. “I’m not a young guy anymore. It was a lot of ice packs on the knees.”
