At the launch of his new film, *The Uprising*, Andrew Garfield acknowledged that he has not yet viewed Tom Holland’s latest outings: *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* and *The Odyssey*. Both films premiered in July and have since become box office successes, leading the takings in 2026 so far, both in North America and globally.
In an interview on September 2, at the Los Angeles premiere of *The Uprising*, Garfield shared with Variety, “I haven’t yet seen it. A movie making money and attracting audiences is incredible, but I want to reach out to him once I’ve actually watched it.” He expressed excitement about finally watching both this Spider-Man film and his colleague’s epic collaboration with Christopher Nolan and Matt Damon, *The Odyssey*.
Garfield, 43, is deeply tied to the Spider-Man legacy in Hollywood. He starred as Peter Parker in two films during the 2010s and made a memorable return alongside Holland and Tobey Maguire in the acclaimed 2021 film *No Way Home*. This film had held the record for the highest grossing Spider-Man movie—until it was eclipsed this summer by *Brand New Day*. Presently, *Brand New Day* ranks as the third highest-grossing film of all time, trailing behind *Avatar* and *Avengers: Endgame*.
Reflecting on the enduring appeal of the Spider-Man character, Garfield commented, “He’s everyone’s, and he embodies the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of life that we can all relate to. It’s hard not to see parts of ourselves in him.” This sentiment is echoed across fan bases who have embraced the character through various adaptations.
In the past, Holland, 30, has expressed the strong connection he shares with both Garfield and Maguire, referring to their unique bond formed during their work on *No Way Home*. Speaking to *The Hollywood Reporter* in 2023, he revealed, “We are really like brothers.” The trio maintains communication through a group chat they affectionately named “Spider-Boys”. Holland noted that they occasionally check in on each other, indicating the friendship they share despite their busy schedules.
Garfield has been particularly active this year, releasing three films: *The Magic Faraway Tree* in August, *The Uprising* set to hit theatres on September 11, and *Artificial*, where he takes on the role of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, which will debut at the New York Film Festival this October.
When pressed about a potential appearance as Spider-Man in the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday*, Garfield responded with a mix of humour and intrigue, “You’ll find out, I suppose, one way or another.” This vagueness has left fans speculating about future crossover appearances.
As fans eagerly await further developments in the Spider-Man franchise and Garfield’s upcoming films, the brotherhood among the Spider-Men remains strong. With their shared experiences and mutual respect for the character, it’s likely that Garfield will reach out to Holland soon, paving the way for further camaraderie and perhaps some friendly rivalry over box office numbers.
As *The Uprising* prepares to hit cinemas, audiences can look forward to seeing Garfield in a new light, while Holland continues to captivate viewers with his take on the beloved superhero. For now, the Spider-Man legacy continues to thrive in the hands of these three talented actors who have wandered the web of their shared narrative.
