Sorry Tom Holland, but Tobey Maguire is Andrew Garfield's favorite Spider-Man.

"Tobey [Maguire] was my guy. I was in drama school and I was watching his films when I was a young, impressionable actor, and I was practicing being him," Garfield told Vanity Fair. "But I think what Tom [Holland] has done is incredible as well. I kind of love them both equally, but I think because it was at a formative part of my life, Tobey…that's my Spider-Man."

The film grossed $758 million against a budget of $200 million. A sequel was greenlit, but Garfield's third film was canceled. The actor reprised the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which Maguire also returned. Together, the three Spideys take on Willem Dafoe's terrifying Green Goblin from Raimi's original trilogy.
