The way he managed to keep his return for “Spider-Man: No Way Home” a secret from even his beloved co-star Emma Stone is nothing short of heroic!


Andrew Garfield is well-recognized for embodying renowned characters, particularly Peter Parker (a.k.a. Spider-Man). He initially brought this cherished superhero to life under the direction of Marc Webb in The Amazing Spider-Man, and later reappeared in the same role for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 alongside Emma Stone, who played Gwen Stacy, his romantic interest. Interestingly, Garfield admitted that Stone once teased him for being secretive about his return in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Spider-Man: No Way Home. Keep reading to discover more!

Andrew Garfield shared an account of Emma Stone’s response upon discovering that he was indeed returning for the film ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, after keeping this a secret. In an earlier conversation with Josh Horowitz on his podcast ‘Happy Sad Confused’, Garfield confessed that he had to maintain the secrecy of his role even from Stone.

Previously, Garfield and Stone played Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Gwen Stacy respectively in a film. Although there were many whispers that Garfield would appear in “No Way Home,” he admitted that he needed to keep quiet about it to preserve the secret.

The actor revealed that the actress playing Good-hearted in Kindness persistently texted him about his role in the latest Spider-Man movie, stating, “Yet I responded, ‘I’m clueless.’ She countered, ‘Stop joking. Just say so.’ To which I replied, ‘Truthfully, I don’t know.’ We continued our exchange, and it’s quite amusing.

Garfield mentioned that he had not shared the truth with Stone prior to the film’s premiere. Once she eventually watched the movie, she labeled him as a “jerk” for keeping it hidden, emphasizing, “I didn’t want to tell anyone. I took it very seriously. I kept it a secret from everyone.

Previously, in an interview with Variety, Andrew Garfield discussed his return to the Spider-Man role for Jon Watts’ movie. He shared that he wasn’t anticipating another chance to play Peter Parker and was thrilled just to be able to enjoy being a fan once more.

Initially, the actor had declined the offer for reprising his role as Spider-Man. But when Amy Pascal, Kevin Feige, and Jon Watts pitched the idea to him, it became “undeniably” appealing. He found it fun, spiritual, and thematically intriguing. As a devoted fan of Spider-Man, he was enthralled by the prospect of witnessing three different versions of the character on screen simultaneously, which ultimately convinced him to accept the role.
