Andrew Garfield talks about his perception of working for the MCU
For many actors, it is a big opportunity to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Andrew Garfield was given this opportunity with The Amazing Spider-Man. The movie was released on 29 June 2012 and it was directed by Marc Webb. The Tick Tick Boom actor wowed the audiences but when he returned in the year 2014, the reactions were a bit underwhelming. While talking about being a part of the Superhero universe, the actor said,
“It’s that eternal struggle between being devoted to the invisible world, the world of spirit, the world of imagination, creativity, what we know we’re meant to do. But if we were purely devoted to that, it would be much harder for us to put a roof over our heads. So how do we balance that?”
He further added,
“We’re living through a capitalistic period in the history of humanity. And it’s deeply disgusting and horrific and ugly and all those things, as well as beautiful. It’s a fascinating time to be alive. And how do artists – how does anyone, because everyone is an artist – really retain that connection to soul, to spirit, to the unseen, to the thing that really pulls us? I mean, those are the moments – whether it’s Fincher or Scorsese, or Tony Kushner, or Mike Nichols, whoever. It feels like you’re being blessed by a high priest of the art. I think we all need that, in whatever we’re doing. We need blessings from elders, from the ones that have found their place
The 39-year-old actor came back once again as Spider-Man in the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home. Garfield was seen in action with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland.

Like, it’s his trilogy. And me and Tobey were there to provide support and have as good a time as possible, actually, and be as inventive, imaginative, and kind of dumb as possible.”
