Tom Holland, who starred as Spider-Man in the recent movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, expressed regret for not reaching out to Andrew Garfield, his predecessor, when he took over the role of Spider-Man. In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland admitted that he never called Garfield, and he would have been heartbroken if he were told he was done, and another actor was taking over the role.

Holland said that he wished he had the chance to make amends with Garfield, but the latest Spider-Man movie provided an opportunity for him and Garfield to share the character. Holland created a WhatsApp group chat where Garfield, Tobey Maguire, and he used to chat during the production of the third film. However, it is unclear if the actors are still active in that group.
