Andrew Garfield reveals his favourite Spider-Man

The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield has opened up about his all-time favourite Spider-Man.

Garfield has denied rumours again and again that fans will see him in the upcoming No Way Home movie, but he is still regularly asked to comment on the MCU he left behind.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, he answered a favourite question of fans: Who is your favourite Spider-Man?

"The great thing about having played that part is that you're one in a long line, and you get to be a part of this very secret, small club," Garfield began.

"Obviously for me, Tobey Maguire was my original, like I fell in love with the film version of that character.

"For me, it was the comic books and it was the cartoon when I was a kid, but then you have Tobey who was just this defining figure in my life. So then when I got to have a chance to play him, it was a childhood dream coming true."

But the ever-diplomatic actor couldn't only mention Sam Raimi's iconic early-noughties iteration of the hero.

"Now you have Tom, who I just think is the most remarkable actor," he continued. "He's infused the character with so much heart and soul and humour and charm and sweetness and goodness.

"There's like a goodness that radiates from him. That is Peter Parker, this undeniable goodness that he inherits from his aunt and uncle."

He also gave shoutouts to some of the team behind the camera, who have "led with soul" in creating the modern cinematic Spider-Man, including the director of Homecoming, Far From Home and No Way Home Jon Watts, producer Amy Pascal, and president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige.

Garfield added: "As a fan, I'm just so thankful that you guys have created this version of the character, which I can just be a fan of now. That's a very diplomatic way of saying everyone. I love everyone who has ever done it."

Spider-Man: Far From Home is available now on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download. Spider-Man: No Way Home is released in UK cinemas on December 15 and in US cinemas on December 17.
