Speaker A
- Nice to see you, too. It's my first time in here.
Speaker A
- Yeah. That's true.
Speaker A
- We did it on Zoom last time.
Speaker A
- We were Zooming, yeah. But I appreciate you doing that because it's hard to—That was a confusing time for the world and hard to, hard to get guests and everything.
Speaker A
- And you actually were great to us, and—Well, I'm saying that, but to be really honest, you were a little—you were a little—you were a little tricky to me.
Speaker A
- Oh, really? [Laughter]
Speaker A
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it was interesting. We're talking about "Spider-Man: No Way Home," and I asked you if the rumors were true that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would be in that movie.
Speaker A
- Oh yes.
Speaker A
- Yeah. I asked you—we were having a conversation, and I asked you, and I obviously trust you, and you trust me, and we're...
Speaker A
- We have that kind of relationship.
Speaker A
- Yes, we really do have that kind of—Well, let's just take a look at what you said.
Speaker A
- Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield might be making a cameo in this movie.
Speaker A
- It would be amazing if they were because they haven't told me that yet.
Speaker A
- And I am Spider-Man, and I've read the script from beginning to the end, so it would be—it would be a miracle if they could've kept that from me, but, uh...
Speaker A
- But at the moment, there is no cameo from the two boys. [Laughter] I'd just like to add, though, I did say, "At the moment."
Speaker A
- Yeah. [Laughter]
Speaker A
- Yeah.
Speaker A
- So I didn't technically lie, albeit I had just come from set with Toby and Andrew.
Speaker A
- [Laughter] Yeah. [Sad tuba]
Speaker A
- You totally, without a doubt, professionally lied to us all.
Speaker A
- [Cheers and applause] But I will say, it was worth it.
Speaker A
- Yes.
Speaker A
- I'm actually thankful that you did.
Speaker A
- Because I think we need surprises in this world. We need something to look forward to and go, "Is that a thing?" And when that did happen on screen, I freaked out.
Speaker A
- Everyone flipped out, and we loved it.
Speaker A
- I freaked out.
Speaker A
- Yeah.
Speaker A
- It was the highlight of my career.
Speaker A
- It was amazing.
Speaker A
- Did you freak out? Did you try—What did you do when they were both on set?
Speaker A
- And were you in a bubble or under—How did you keep this from everybody?
Speaker A
- We were in a bubble. We were shooting on set. Everything was on a studio.
Speaker A
- Toby and Andrew would come to set in, like, a cloak.
Speaker A
- Yeah.
Speaker A
- It was like something out of "Star Wars."
Speaker A
- Like people fit in while walking down the street wearing a cloak.
Speaker A
- Yeah. It's just...
Speaker A
- Yeah, it's like, "Oh, that's not Tobey Maguire. That's a man—man dressed like the Grim Reaper walking down the street." Yeah.
Speaker A
- But it was—it was hilarious. And it was—It was an amazing experience.
Speaker A
- It was really odd being there with them as a fan of the films from before.
Speaker A
- Yeah.
Speaker A
- And it was also really interesting because throughout the films, I was at my third film by this point, and I had been requesting a few things with my suit, like I wanted to be able to take my gloves off.
Speaker A
- I wanted to be able to, like, go to the bathroom without taking the whole suit off.
Speaker A
- Yeah, these are things that you learn as...
Speaker A
- As you go.
Speaker A
- Yes. And they said, "Not possible. We can't do it."
Speaker A
- Yeah.
Speaker A
- Tobey and Andrew both had those things on their suit.
Speaker A
- [Laughter]
Speaker A
- And they didn't—
Speaker A
- The disrespect!
Speaker A
- They already had—They lived through it, they go, "Oh, we already had this argument with—" Yeah. Everything is possible.
Speaker A
- I learnt that you should just put your foot down sometime. [Laughter]
Speaker A
- We're almost to Halloween.
Speaker A
- What's it like when you see kids dressed as Spider-Man? Do they freak out when they see you?
Speaker A
- It's—Yeah. It's a joy, man. I love—I remember... God, I've been playing Spider-Man for nearly a decade now. Right? So I'm probably 19, "Civil War" is either coming out or has come out.
Speaker A
- So what I'm trying to say is, is like, I knew I was Spider-Man, my family knew I was Spider-Man, but no one else really knew that I was Spider-Man.
Speaker A
- Okay.
Speaker A
- So we have kids coming to the door, trick-or-treating, like, really exciting. The parents are, like, stood at the driveway, like making sure the kids are safe because everything you learn about being a kid goes against trick-or-treating.
Speaker A
- It's like, "Don't talk to strangers, don't go to a stranger's house, don't take strangers' food." All of a sudden, it's like, "Tonight, it's fine."
Speaker A
- No rules. Yeah.
Speaker A
- Right?
Speaker A
- So, the parents are there, and we're waiting for a kid to show up as Spider-Man.
Speaker A
- Eventually, someone does. My dad calls me down. And I think where I went wrong with this 7-year-old...
Speaker A
- [Laughter] ...was that I was way more excited than he was. [Laughter] So he's there in his little Spider-Man suit with this bucket, and I'm like, "Spider-Man, hey! How's it going?
Speaker A
- And he's like, "Whoa!" [Laughter]
Speaker A
- It's like, "Trick or treat, man."
Speaker A
- Yeah, "Just give me the candy, bro, and I'll be on my way."
Speaker A
- "Yeah, we don't need to have a conversation," yeah.
Speaker A
- To which I then said to him, like, "Let's me and you have, like, a picture." And then the parents took a big step forward...
Speaker A
- [Laughter] ...like, "Wait a minute. What did you just say to our little kid?"
Speaker A
- "Are you gonna take a picture with my kid?"
Speaker A
- And I'm giving it like, "No, don't worry about it.
Speaker A
- I'm actually Spider-Man," which at that point they, like, drag their kid away from my house.
Speaker A
- "This person's insane. You know what? We don't need the—We don't need the candy bar.
Speaker A
- We're gonna walk away." [Laughter and applause]
Speaker A
- Oh, that's so funny. The kid is probably wishing he took a photo with you.
Speaker A
- There is some chatter that "Spider-Man 4" is happening and that you'll be back as Spider-Man.
Speaker A
- [Cheers and applause] But now we're here.
Speaker A
- What do you want to know?
Speaker A
- Now we're here—[Laughter] Now we're here. We're actually—We can—We're touching. Now we're in the same room.
Speaker A
- Can we confirm this tonight? [Drumroll] [Laughter]
Speaker A
- It's happening. [Cheers and applause]
Speaker A
- That's what I'm talking about!
Speaker A
- That's my man. That's my man. Thank you, buddy. Thank you. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker A
- [Cheers and applause] Wow! That's what I'm talking about! [Cheers and applause] That's what you can tell. That's—I love it.
Speaker A
- Yeah, next summer—Next summer, we start shooting. Everything's good to go. We're nearly there.
