Andrew Garfield Unsatisfied With Spider-Man ‘Closure’ In No Way Home: ‘There Was An Undone Feeling’


Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker may finally have had his redemption arc by catching Zendaya’s MJ in his arms back in Spider-Man: No Way Home, however, the actor feels unsatisfied with his Spider-Man’s ‘closure’ in the film. “There was an undone feeling,” he says.

Andrew Garfield took Peter Parker’s role in The Amazing Spider-Man when he was only 26, to which he admitted was a lot to take on as a young actor. Although he was ready, he admitted how much it was to take the role on for himself. Read his quote from GQ below:

“I feel that about myself as a 26-year-old. I’m like, ‘Fuck, that was a lot to take on. It’s a sh*t-ton to take on. And I wanted to take it on. I was ready. I was so up for it. It didn’t feel heavy. But I think there were elements that felt very… I sensed danger for myself, in terms of fame and exposure.”

Despite the pressure he felt before taking on the role, his Amazing Spider-Man franchise worked out fine, even though it didn’t get its threequel. He did, however, get to reprise his role in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, thanks to the multiverse’s existence in the MCU.

Working on his Spider-Man role in both films, Garfield expresses his sentiments on how anticlimactic it was. Even after saving Zendaya’s MJ, it’s natural to feel that his Spider-Man’s arc is left unfinished in his own universe. The actor goes on to compare this feeling similar to that of going through a breakup.

“I don’t know if I had an expectation of doing more. I was very open to it being whatever it was meant to be. But there was an undone feeling. Like, what was that experience about? And how do I close that circle in my living room on my own? And I was doing that — and then it was like that classic thing, when you’re getting over a relationship, and you’re starting to really feel free and untethered from that thing — the person knows to call the hour after the first good night’s sleep you’ve had.”
