Leading up to the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, rumors were swirling about who might or might not appear in the movie. One of the actors at the center of those rumors was Andrew Garfield, who played Spider-Man in the two Amazing Spider-Man films released in 2012 and 2014. Now that No Way Home is out, Garfield reflected on those rumors in a new interview with The Wrap. Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen Spider-Man: No Way Home.

After months and months of speculation, when we finally sat down to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that, like those tales about Luke Skywalker and the Jedi, that it's all true. Garfield and actor Tobey Maguire, who played the same character in the first trilogy of Spider-Man movies, directed by Sam Raimi, appeared in No Way Home alongside Tom Holland.

Leading up to that, though, it was all rumors, and nearly every time Garfield sat down for an interview, someone would ask. Unlike Holland, though, Garfield didn't want to develop a reputation for letting spoilers pour out of his mouth every time he talked to the press, so he lied--and did a pretty good job of it.
