Andrew Garfield, the talented actor who portrayed Spider-Man in the 2012 movie 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and reprised his role in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', has spilled the beans on one of the most emotional scenes in the movie - the moment when he shared screen space with Zendaya, who played Michelle 'MJ' Jones.
According to Garfield, the scene, which left audiences worldwide teary-eyed, was a very emotional experience for him as well. Speaking about the experience, the actor revealed that he had a 'very serious thing' to discuss with the director, Jon Watts, before the scene could be shot.
"The thing I said to Jon was, 'This is the most important scene of the movie for me,'" Garfield recalled. "It's the most important scene because I get to see MJ again. And I think that's the thing that we all wanted to make sure that we got right."
Garfield further explained that he wanted to convey the love and affection that his character still has for MJ, even though they are apart. He credited Watts for providing the freedom to experiment and make the scene as emotional as possible.
"I just wanted to be able to do something that honored the love that I have for MJ in the previous movies," Garfield said. "I think I said to Jon something like, 'I don't know what I want to do but I know I want to be in a very, very, very quiet place.' Because that's what felt true to me."
The emotional scene, which lasted for just a few seconds but was full of sentimental value, left viewers heartbroken. Fans praised Garfield and Zendaya for their dedication and chemistry on-screen.
Interestingly, the scene also generated a lot of buzz on social media, with fans discussing and re-sharing clips of the emotional encounter. Many observed how Spider-Man's love for MJ transcended universes, conveying the depth of their bond.
