Andrew Garfield Improvised No Way Home's Spider-Man Pointing Scene
Actor Andrew Garfield says that he helped improvise the recreation of the famous Spider-Man pointing meme in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Garfield returned to the role of Spider-Man/Peter Parker in No Way Home, as Doctor Strange's multiverse spell brought a multitude of characters from different Spider-Man universes into Tom Holland's MCU universe, including Garfield and Tobey Maguire, who have both played the character in previous installments for Sony Pictures. Garfield appeared in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man and 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, while Maguire appeared in 2002's Spider-Man, 2004's Spider-Man 2, and 2007's Spider-Man 3. Holland has appeared as Spider-Man/Peter Parker throughout the MCU, starring the three solo films, as well as three team films, including Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
The famous Spider-Man pointing meme comes from the 1960s animated series, particularly in episode 19b, titled «Double Identity» from 1967. In the episode, Spider-Man is being impersonated by a villain, causing the two to point at one another at the end, disclaiming who is real and who isn't. The meme was recreated and used in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse in the end credits scene, which features Spider-Man 2099 as voiced by Oscar Isaac.
