Tom Holland,Tobey MaguireandAndrew Garfieldhave an especially unique combined Spidey-Sense.

As for the last conversation the trio had in their group chat, Holland recalled, “I was doing a charity event in London for theBrothers Trustand I was asking if they would be so kind as to sign a poster to auction off.”
“They were obviously happy to oblige,” he added.
Before teaming up with Maguire and Holland inNo Way Home, Garfield starred as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Sony’sAmazing Spider-Manmovies, released in 2012 and 2014.
His predecessor, Maguire, portrayed the web-slinger for three standalone films, beginning with 2002’sSpider-Manand ending with 2007’sSpider-Man 3.
Meanwhile, Holland has played the character within multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe films beginning withCaptain America: Civil War(2016), including Spidey’s three standalone films released in 2017, 2019 and 2021.
Back in January 2022,No Way Homedirector Jon Watts spoke toVarietyabout preparing to film with the three men who have played Spider-Man in the nearly$2 billion-making filmthatbroke multiple records upon its releasethe previous month and beyond.
“We sat on folding chairs in a circle and went through the script together,” said Watts, 41. “I had talked to everyone separately, but to have everyone together to talk about the story, how the pieces fit together and what Spider-Man meant to them — that was exciting for me.”
He continued, “We had the only three actors to ever play Spider-Man in a film, and each had been through so much, on and off screen. It waslike a Spider-Man therapy session.”
Watts added he made sure to soak up the moment with the three stars while he could, knowing it was a rare time in cinematic history.
“Because we had done that work ahead of time, when filming that first scene with everyone, it was great to take a step back and see the crew watching like they were watching the movie,” the filmmaker explained. “You’re capturing something more than a scene from a movie; you’re watching a once-in-a-lifetime event.”
