Andrew Garfield Praises 'Fearless' Spider-Man Co-Star Willem Dafoe

Image
After going radio silent on his appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home , Andrew Garfield finally had the opportunity to open up on his experience joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2021. Alongside his fellow Spider-Men in Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire in a fight against villains like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx's Electro, Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man shone in this Multiversal adventure. Even for only playing a supporting role in No Way Home , Garfield remained at the center of reports and rumors since spring 2021 thanks to spending so much time denying his inclusion in the film. From addressing Holland's own experience with spoilers to sharing how he worked with Daredevil star Charlie Cox to avoid spoilers leaking, the Academy Award-nominee is always game to chat about the MCU threequel. ADVERTISEMENT Part of Garfield's time talking about No Way Home has been spent heaping praise upon his Marvel co-stars, even go...

Watch: Willem Dafoe Frightens Tom Holland on Set of Spider-Man: No Way Home

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home saw the return of more than half a dozen characters from past Spidey blockbusters, including Willem Dafoe as the original Green Goblin from 2002's Spider-Man . After Tom Holland battled Michael Keaton's Vulture and Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio in his first two outings, Dafoe brought a new level of fear for the young hero in his third MCU solo appearance. The man behind the Green Goblin made his mark on the world of superhero movies with No Way Home , setting the record for the longest Marvel career in history, alongside his Spidey co-star Tobey Maguire. Even more impressive was that Dafoe took the opportunity to deliver an even more revered performance this time around, especially after ditching the mask he wore for his first movie 20 years ago. ADVERTISEMENT That performance largely came through alongside Holland, as the MCU's Spidey and the Goblin engaged in some of the most brutal physical battles seen in any liv...

No Way Home Reveals Tobey Maguire & Willem Dafoe Deleted Scene

Despite being the longest live-action Peter Parker film to date,  Spider-Man: No Way Home  still left plenty of engaging material on the cutting room floor. The film's impressive ensemble boasted the likes of Academy Award nominees Andrew Garfield and Jamie Foxx, as well as over a dozen other A-List actors reprising their iconic comic book movie roles. With just 148 minutes of screentime to divide between leading star Tom Holland and his seismic supporting cast, certain characters never made it past the concept art stage. Among those cut include Xochitil Gomez's America Chavez, who will make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in May's  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , and Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio, who stood opposite Holland's Spider-Man in 2019's  Spider-Man: Far From Home .  ADVERTISEMENT Those who were fortunate enough to make it to the screen still dealt with restrictions. The conclusion of the MCU's  Spider...

Tobey Maguire & Willem Dafoe Break Guinness World Record Thanks to Marvel Comeback

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home served as the celebration of all things Spider-Man after several returns by different actors from past Marvel films. Directed by Jon Watts, the MCU threequel revolves around the identity crisis of Tom Holland's Peter Parker that eventually led to the Multiverse being unleashed after Doctor Strange's botched spell of trying to fix the titular hero's problem.  As a result, visitors from other universes entered the MCU, specifically from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus, Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, and Thomas Hayden Church's Sandman became the villainous representatives of the Raimi-verse, while Jamie Foxx's Electro and Rhys Ifhans' Lizard completed the list from the Webb-verse.  ADVERTISEMENT Aside from the villains, No Way Home surprised fans when Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men arrived on t...

No Way Home Releases Altered Version of Willem Dafoe Scene

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home  is a massive achievement, opening up the MCU to include characters from across the Multiverse. Bringing back characters from franchises past, the movie includes both Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's incarnations of the titular web-slinger, alongside some of their fearsome foes, like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx's Electro.  While fans clearly appreciated the film's multiverse-spanning stakes, propelling it to over a billion dollars at the box office,  No Way Home  was also received warmly by critics. Sony has been pushing for critical acknowledgment with a recent awards campaign, but a recent mistake will keep the film from being eligible at the BAFTAs. ADVERTISEMENT Even with this one roadblock, the future of Spider-Man: No Way Home  seems bright, with the film possibly even reigniting hopes for a more permanent return of Andrew Garfield to the role. Fans excited to rewatch the film can cat...
