Andrew Garfield recently revealed that he received a message of support from Tobey Maguire regarding his participation in the new reboot of Spider-Man.
Garfield told BBC News: "[Tobey] sent me a lovely message through a mutual friend. He gave me his support, and it meant a great deal, of course, because part of the reason I love and have continued to love this character was because of his portrayal. To step into those shoes is no mean feat."
Garfield added: "It was generous of him to reach out and say something, so I'm thankful."
Maguire, who played Spider-Man for three movies, is the second castmember of the original franchise to support the new project, after Kirsten Dunst did the same when asked about the reboot a month ago.
On a personal note, I still can't stand behind this reboot but it was really thoughtful from Tobey to have that kind of gesture towards Garfield.
What do you say? Are you willing to give the new Spider-Man a chance?
