Andrew Garfield Still Advocates for Gay Spider-Man
Garfield says Spider-Man should be open to any sexuality as he revisits his 2013 plea and Marvel’s first gay Spider-Man comic character.
- On Monday, actor Andrew Garfield reiterated his support for a gay Spider-Man while promoting his upcoming film, The Uprising, stating the character should represent inclusivity for everyone.
- Garfield first proposed the idea in a 2013 interview, questioning why Peter Parker could not explore his sexuality, and described his original comments as "an exercise in rebellion that I felt passionate about."
- "Anyone can project themselves into that suit," Garfield said, emphasizing the character's appeal stems from being free of limitations like "skin color," "gender," or "sexuality."
- While Marvel introduced the first gay Spider-Man, Web-Weaver, in a 2022 comic, live-action films have yet to feature an LGBTQ+ lead, though current star Tom Holland recently teased a "clear vision" for passing the baton.
- The 43-year-old actor believes the superhero remains a "great vehicle for inclusivity," and as the franchise expands through the multiverse, he hopes future iterations will ensure anyone can see themselves beneath the mask.
