“Spider-Man: No Way Home” had its world premiere December 13, 2021 with A-list stars such as Zendaya and Tom Holland in attendance. Two actors forced to stay home from the event were Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, whose involvement in the record-breaking Marvel blockbuster was being kept a secret at the time in order to protect spoilers. “Spider-Man: No Way Home” teams Holland’s web-slinger with previous versions of the character played by Maguire and Garfield. The latter two could not attend the premiere, so they decided to sneak into a public screening of the film on opening night and watch “No Way Home” together.

“I still can’t believe it happened,” Garfield told Entertainment Tonight. “I snuck into a theater on opening night and just watched with my baseball cap on and my mask. In fact, I was also with Tobey. Me and Tobey snuck into a theater together and no one knew we were there.
