Andrew Garfield reveals how Sony reacted to ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ leaks. Tom Holland and Jon Watts' third MCU team-up was highly-anticipated. Aside from following up on Spider-Man: Far From Home's game-changing ending, fans were also intrigued by the persistent rumors that Sam Raimi and Marc Webb's respective ‘Spider-Man’ movies would tie into its narrative.
Amidst countless, persistent rumors, Sony and Marvel Studios ran a controlled marketing campaign for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ in an effort to preserve the film's secrecy. Its first trailer didn't arrive until late-August 2021, followed by its second one dropping a couple of months later. As its premiere neared, the studios kept the hype up by rolling out a barrage of TV spots and posters, but while the involvement of villains such as Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, and Jamie Foxx's Electro were prominently used in the promos, Garfield and Tobey Maguire's appearances remained a secret. However, a string of marketing slips, capped off by leaked images and videos, convinced fans that the two previous Spider-Men would eventually show up.
Lo and behold, both Maguire and Garfield reprised their Marvel roles in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, and now, Garfield is opening up about the experience. Speaking with TheWrap, the actor reveals how he reacted to seeing leaked images of the movie online. He says did freak out, but when he asked Sony, they told him that they wouldn't do anything about it and recommended he continued denying his involvement when asked.
