Andrew Garfield had a brilliant response to fans who told him he was not their favorite actor to have played Spider-Man.

The 40-year-old British and American actor earned worldwide recognition in 2012 when he was cast opposite Emma Stone as Spider-Man/Peter Parker in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, a reboot of the Spider-Man film series featuring Tobey Maguire.


He also starred in the 2014 sequel film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and was contracted to reprise his role in a third film that was ultimately canceled.

Tom Holland was the last actor to take up the mantle of playing Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, starting with a cameo in 2017's Captain America: Civil War that preceded the MCU trilogy of Spider-Man films that featured him as the eponymous superhero.

In 2021, Holland was joined by Maguire and Garfield reprising their roles as their versions of Spider-Man in the multiverse-colliding event of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

While the three actors respectively put their unique stamp on their portrayals in the cannon films and imbued Spider-Man with gravitas stemming from authentic life experiences, it was inevitable for the fandom to compare notes and rank their favorite actor.

Garfield had this to say at a panel when asked his thoughts on those who've spoken negatively about his contribution to the character.

“I’m 40 years old. And I know myself now."
"And so if you love me, love me. And if you don’t love me that’s your loss.”
