In 1962's "Amazing Fantasy" #15, the debut story of Spider-Man ends with the teenage superhero sadly walking away into the night, after realizing that the thief he had allowed to escape earlier ended up being his uncle's killer. Named after the two Spider-Man actors, this character gains superpowers in a lab accident and briefly becomes Spider-Man's sidekick under the codename Alpha. "Amazing Spider-Man" #692 was officially marketed as the 50th anniversary issue and featured the debut of Andy Maguire. The flagship Spider-Man comic book series, "Amazing Spider-Man," commemorated the special anniversary in a way that paid homage to both Tobey and Andrew. Months after "Spider-Man 4" was officially canceled, Sony announced that it had found its next Spider-Man in the form of Andrew Garfield (via The Guardian). However, a planned fourth Spider-Man film was scrapped in 2010, directly leading to the announcement that a reboot of the franchise would take place in what was incidentally Spider-Man's golden year (via Collider). That film, which helped usher in the modern age of superheroes in cinema, became a critical and commercial success and spawned two sequels. From the circumstances that brought about "The Amazing Spider-Man" and its sequel to the ways Andrew embraced being Spider-Man, here are some interesting facts about the English actor's take on the beloved superhero.Ģ012 also marked the 10th anniversary of Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man," which featured Tobey Maguire in the titular role.
Given how the meteoric success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has enabled his successor Tom Holland to meet and work with other superheroes, it's interesting to think about the position Andrew's Spider-Man could have been in, had the actor's time as the wallcrawler not been cut short. The abrupt end to Andrew's run as the webslinger has raised many questions about the ill-fated franchise, including why the planned trilogy became a duology and what the future could have been like for Andrew's version of Spider-Man.
As for the actor himself, Andrew has described his time in Spider-Man's webbed boots as " heartbreaking," which is undeniably a tragic thing to hear from someone who grew up with a deep affection for the character.
The two films, which were directed by Marc Webb, are also currently the lowest-rated Spider-Man movies on Rotten Tomatoes. His two films, "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," were the weakest-performing among Sony's live-action Spider-Man movies, according to Screen Rant. One can argue that among all the actors who portrayed Spider-Man in live action over the last two decades, Andrew Garfield has faced the toughest battle of all.
