Spider-Man: No Way Home was finally released this month, and it’s been a huge hit among Marvel fans. Not only has the movie been shattering box office records, already earning $1 billion, but it also has an impressive 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. There’s a whole lot to love about the new Spidey flick, but for many, the MVP is Andrew Garfield. The actor made a surprise return as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, a role he played in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). While there’s been a definite resurgence in love for Garfield’s movies, they’ve typically been considered the weakest when compared to the Tobey Maguire-led Spidey films or the recent ones starring Tom Holland. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, No Way Home writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommer talked about leaning into Garfield’s Spidey status and giving his version of Peter Parker “middle brother syndrome.”
