Andrew Garfield is getting everyone all emosh in the new film We Live In Time.
In the John Crowley film, he stars as Tobias opposite Florence Pugh’s Almut.

It also stars Grace Delaney, Lee Braithwaite, Aoife Hinds and many others. The film is available for streaming in the US and will be out for UK audiences on 1 January.
However, before Garfield was a leading man in a rom-com, he was one of the lucky actors to take on Spider-Man. The Social Network star was preceded in the role by Tobey Maguire in the 00s trilogy directed by Sam Ramini and succeeded by Tom Holland.
When has Andrew Garfield played Spider-Man?
The Amazing Spider-Man
Garfield had his first go at playing Spider-Man in this 2012 offering. While shooting this film, he met and fell in love with his ex, Stone, who played Gwen Stacey.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
2014 saw the Eyes of Tammy Faye star play Peter Parker and his superhero alias in this sequel. Its poor box office performance is believed to have shut down any chatter of a third instalment.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
One of cinema’s biggest kept secrets in 2021 was the cameos of previous Spider-Man stars Garfield and Maguire in this last edition of the Tom Holland-led trilogy. When they were finally revealed, fans were overjoyed.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Garfield lent his pipes to the character once again in this animated 2023 film that also features Oscar Isaac, Jack Quaid and Hailee Steinfeld.
What has Andrew Garfield said about a potential return in the future?
Back in October, the Tick Tick Boom star admitted that he would “100 per cent” consider putting that iconic blue and red suit back on again.
While speaking to Esquire, he said, “I would 100 per cent come back if it was the right thing… I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return.”
Does anyone want to call Stone to see if she feels the same?
