Excitement surrounding No Way Home was huge with many fans speculating that the film would see Garfield and Maguire appear alongside Holland thanks to the MCU’s multiverse.
Despite the film’s cast repeatedly denying the rumours, Garfield, 38, and Maguire, 46, do indeed star in No Way Home.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Garfield said that he and Maguire secretly watched the film together at a cinema on its opening night.
“I snuck into a theatre on opening night and just watched with my baseball cap on and my mask,” explained Garfield.
“In fact, I was also with Tobey — me and Tobey snuck into a theatre together and no one knew we were there. It was just a really beautiful thing to share together.”
The writers of No Way Home recently revealed that Maguire and Garfield did not sign on until halfway through filming.
Garfield also divulged that he improvised one of the film’s most heartwarming lines.
