20 Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Moments That Prove His Peter Deserves A Third Movie
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
After the staggering success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans have been clamoring for Andrew Garfield to return for a third Amazing Spider-Man film.
Though his first couple of films weren't as successful as the studio hoped, they still featured plenty of great moments that prove Garfield was meant to portray everyone's favorite web-slinger. Perhaps we'll get to see him play Spidey again in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, but until then, let's take a look at the 20 Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Moments That Prove His Peter Deserves A Third Movie.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
20.Peter Cleans the Fridge - The Amazing Spider-Man
19.Making His Gear - The Amazing Spider-Man
18.Catching a Carjacker - The Amazing Spider-Man
During his first night in his new suit, Peter comes across a guy trying to steal a car and webs him to the wall. Though Peter kinda acts like a jerk in this scene as he frightens the car thief, it's still funny to see him mess around with him by sneezing out a web and shooting some of his signature quips.
17."I Was Cleaning the Chimney" - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
16.Swinging in his New Suit - The Amazing Spider-Man
Preferring a more athletic suit for his superhero persona, we see Peter make an outfit that more resembles his classic Spidey look. We get a POV shot of him jumping across rooftops in his new suit, and we only really see it when he swings onto the side glass building and he gazes at his reflection. It's the perfect build-up to reveal Spidey's new look, and the way Aunt May calls to remind him to get eggs is a great contrast between his life as a teenager and his life as a crime fighter.
15.Waking Up A Superhero - The Amazing Spider-Man
14.A Day in the Life of Spider-Man - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
13.Peter Faces Electro - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
12.The Ending Swing - The Amazing Spider-Man
11.Peter Bonds With Electro - Spider-Man: No Way Home
After Electro is cured of his superpowers, we see Andrew's Spider-Man talk with the depowered villain face to face. Though Max laments turning back into a "nobody," Peter argues against this and supports him like he did when they first met. It's so heartwarming to see Peter reach out to his adversary and help him become the good man he was before. Hopefully, we'll get to see Peter and Max work together one more time in the future.
10.Peter Creates a Distraction - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
9.Opening Swing - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
8.Peter Reunites With His Father - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
7.Peter and Gwen in the Hallway- The Amazing Spider-Man
6.Peter Saves Jack - The Amazing Spider-Man
When the Lizard goes on a rampage on the Williamsburg Bridge, Peter tries to save the people from being thrown into the river. At one point, he saves a little kid who's trapped in one of the cars hanging from the bridge. The way Peter gives the kid his mask and encourages him to climb up displays how Peter is just like everyone else, and that anyone can be as strong as him. We've already seen him fighting crime before this scene, but it was at this moment that Peter truly became Spider-Man.
5.Spider vs. Goblin - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
While this film struggled to tackle too many storylines, particularly the one with Harry Osborn, Peter's battle with him at the end of the film is still one of the franchise's best scenes. Harry, having transformed into the Green Goblin, seeks revenge from Peter for "betraying" him by kidnapping Gwen and fighting the web-slinger inside a clock tower. Peter's struggle to hold off Harry and keep Gwen from falling is only heightened by the clock that's ticking around him, making for a tense and suspenseful battle.
4.Peter Comes Through the Portal - Spider-Man: No Way Home
There are multiple clips online of audiences losing their minds over this scene, and Ned's mom pretty much channels this excitement. When Ned and MJ try to use Doctor Strange's Sling Ring to find Peter, they find a man that looks like Spider-Man. But once he jumps out of the portal, we are all thrilled to see Andrew's Spidey back in action.
3.Gwen Stacy Dies - The Amazing Spider-Man
2.Peter Meets Peter - Spider-Man: No Way Home
When MJ and Ned find a grief-stricken Peter, they bring two of his variants with them. When Tom Holland's character claims that he has given up and chooses to send all of the villains back to their universes and let them die. To make him reconsider Andrew's version of Peter shares the loss he suffered when Gwen died and how it made him bitter and violent, warning his younger variant not to end up like him.
This makes Andrew's Spider-Man a lot like Ben Affleck's Batman in that their characters both became more aggressive after the deaths of their loved ones and both actors never got the recognition they deserve. But just like Affleck, Garfield made an excellent comeback in 2021 as they both returned to the big screen as their superhero personas.
1.Peter Saves MJ - Spider-Man: No Way Home
This scene finally gave Andrew Garfield the closure he deserved with his return as Spider-Man. After years of living with the guilt over Gwen's death, Peter redeems himself after he saves Zendaya's MJ from falling to her doom during the battle at Liberty Island. The sight of him crying over saving her life makes us all happier seeing him make up for his mistakes. While the film's shocking ending halted Peter and MJ's relationship, Andrew's Spider-Man found happiness in giving his alternate the chance at true love that he had lost.
