Tobey Maguire Talks About Working on SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME and What a Powerful Experience It Was

What an awesome experience it was to see Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield fight alongside each as their versions of Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Both Holland and Garfield have talked a lot about their experience shooting the film together and what that was like for them. Maguire hasn’t really said much, but in a recent interview with all three actors, Maguire did open up about his time on the film and talked about what a powerful experience it was for him.

During the interview that was shared on the official Spider-Man YouTube page, Maguire said:

"I'll say I remember being on set and it was I believe our last day Andrew, and it was really amazing, and I had the awareness of this, you know, the 20 years of history, but looking at Amy [Pascal] and Kevin [Feige] and realizing that they've been there through all the different iterations, and it was really powerful.

“Just personally it was powerful for me to be working with Andrew and Tom and powerful in a legitimately moving emotional way, and then to witness Amy and Kevin and consider their journeys through all the films it was it was really impactful. I was just grateful every day. It was such a rich experience and, as the guys have touched on, the kind of sharing of something and the brotherhood of it, it was just so rich, emotional and I don't know I'm not like sitting there conceptually thinking about that all the time, but I would have moments where that kind of stuff would hit me."

He went on to say that the day-to-day experience working on the move was itself a “beautiful kind of unfolding" and how the film had a sweet elegance to it:

"Day to day, it was just a beautiful kind of unfolding of this story and these relationships so I was more just like in that on the day-to-day, but I'd have these like reflection moments which were quite powerful and elegantly woven ultimately because you're thinking about taking 20 years of history and revisiting that and how do you balance all of these things and each of our kind of series of films.

“We're playing the same character but they're also unique and the way those films and characters evolved in those films are unique and then to bring all of that together including all of our super villains and all of that it was pretty wild to witness the immensity of all of this history coming together and being put into this stand-alone worthwhile story. And I too just wanted to say with the coda of the movie I was really touched emotionally but also, I just thought it had such a sweet elegance to it like that was so amazing and I agree in terms of the origin story and the kind of coming of age or you know Tom your character is stepping into this different kind of maturity and responsibility, and all done with this like really sweet sad elegant touch. It was just beautiful."

It’s awesome to hear that he had such a wonderful experience behind a part of this film. Man, I really hope that we get to see Garfield and Maguire on the big screen again as Spider-Man!
