In Spider-Man: No Way Home, MJ, played by Zendaya, falls off some scaffolding during the final battle. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is unable to save her, leaving Andrew Garfield’s Spidey to make the save. The scene is significant as it mirrors the scene in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in which Garfield tries to save his love Gwen Stacy but fails, resulting in Gwen’s death.
Andrew Garfield’s Key Scene
In an interview for Spider-Man: The Official Movie Special, Zendaya discusses the moment in Spider-Man: No Way Home where Garfield’s Peter Parker saves MJ. She highlights how it was a significant moment for his character, who has been struggling with the guilt of not being able to save someone he loved. The actress expands on the scene, calling it “a really sweet moment” and praising Garfield’s performance.
Zendaya talks about the “strong relationship” that each of the Spider-Man actors has with the character. She notes that Garfield, Holland, and Tobey Maguire share a certain reverence for the wall-crawler.
A Monumental Moment
Garfield’s performance in Spider-Man: No Way Home was undeniably a standout. With rumors of Avengers: Secret Wars pulling from all corners of the live-action Marvel Multiverse, fans are wondering if Garfield will get a chance to put on the suit again and go for another swing.
