Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man got the chance to share screen space with the other two beloved Spider-Men played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for something like this to happen and the dream of all Spider-Man fans came true with that epic union of the three actors.

Holland was also a big fan of Garfield and Maguire’s portrayal of the character and he expressed his gratitude to the three actors for participating and giving their best to the film. The three actors tearfully embraced with a hug and this sweet moment inspired the writers to replicate the same moment in the film towards the end. Holland said on Late Night With Seth Meyers,

“The most incredible experience of my career. I remember we were shooting this scene which was a really emotional scene. So, I went up to Andrew and Tobey and I basically just said ‘Thank You, thank you for being here.

Thank you for taking the time to be a part of this incredible opportunity. It means the world to me.’ and we all embraced and we all started crying. I remember the writers sort of seeing that and being like, ‘Yep, That’s how we are going to end the film. That’s brilliant. Well done, Tom.'”

The moment beautifully captured the sense of brotherhood and the beautiful bond that exists between the three characters and the actors themselves. The film itself proved to be a cinematic miracle that managed to satisfy both fans and general audiences through its emotionally cathartic narrative.
