Tom Holland is one of the top performers of his time, and like many other actors, he made his acting debut at a young age, with The Impossible. Today, he is one of the most well-liked and well-known performers, especially in light of his role as Peter Parker in the Spider-Man trilogy for the MCU. He has appeared a total of six times in the MCU projects, and for playing the part so well, he has received tremendous acclaim and admiration from his peers.
Although he has achieved such fame, recognition, and success from his Spider-Man films, he has a regret or two that he wants to let off his chest. Tom Holland was cast as Parker in the MCU a couple of years after Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was canceled and he feels responsible for some reason. Although these situations are not connected in any way, Holland feels the need to apologize to Garfield.
Tom Holland Wants to Apologize to Andrew Garfield
Tom Holland is a relatively new entry in the industry but he has made his stronghold with top-class performances in multiple movies in TV shows. Especially his MCU Spider-Man cast which earned billions at the box office with the fourth release almost on the horizon. Even his other movies like Uncharted, The Devil All the Time, and Cherry have garnered enough reputation for putting him on top of the acting community. The actor has acknowledged that even though he has no problems or backlogs in Hollywood, he would want to apologize to Andrew Garfield for taking on the role of Peter Parker from him.
“That’s because of my naivete as a kid. I was 19 when I got cast. I was so caught up in getting the role that I never took any time to think about what it must have been like for him. If I’d made my second movie, and it didn’t necessarily deliver in the way it should have done, and they recast me, I would really struggle to bounce back. Andrew bounced back in the most unbelievable way. I just wish I’d called him and just said, ‘You know I can’t turn down this opportunity.’”
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Holland shared that he felt distraught over the fact that Andrew Garfield was recast for the Spider-Man role. During the time of his cast, Holland was still a teenager and was quite happy and heavily immersed in his role, but now he thinks that it was improper for him to completely nudge Garfield’s take on the situation. He should have talked things over with him, but things just did not go that way. Nevertheless, Andrew Garfield got to put on the suit again, as the movie earned record earnings at the box office, almost crossing the two billion mark.
