Andrew Garfield Says He Has The Best Live-Action SPIDER-MAN Suit

Andrew Garfield Says He Has The Best Live-Action SPIDER-MAN Suit

Out of Sony's three live-action Spider-Men, which costume do you think is the best? Andrew Garfield thinks his suit reigns supreme due to its functionality.

We're back with another early excerpt from Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home- The Art of the Movie which doesn't officially release until August 1. It looks as if a few delivery services have mailed out copies a tad bit early, and there are copies already floating out in the wild on social media.

Previously, The Amazing  Spider-Man 2's Andrew Garfield discussed the possibility of his webhead returning to the MCU after his Peter Parker teamed up with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

In a new excerpt where Garfield is asked to pick who has the best Spider-Man costume among the three, Garfield selected himself.

"The eyes on mine are definitely the best,"  Garfield said about his suit.  "The eye shape is just the most open and friendly and, I don't know, sweet. I would say, just practically my suit is the best, because I have zippers on my wrist so that I can get my hands out. You get more breaks.  But none of the suits are that much fun to wear."

Do you agree with Garfield's assessment? If you're a veteran of the site, you'll recall that when Garfield's Spider-Man costume was first revealed, many fans complained that the texture of his first suit resembled a basketball. 

These days, most fans are coming around to Garfield's way of thinking and agree that his costume- particularly the mask, is the best.

There's also the fact that Tom Holland's Spider-Man has donned several different costumes across his numerous MCU appearances. In the final moments of No Way Home, Holland's Peter Parker ditched his Stark Industries' armor and wore something more similar to the Spidey costume from the comics.  

Sony Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal previously stated that a fourth Spider-Man film with Holland and Zendaya was in development but was currently paused due to the ongoing WGA strike. With the MCU leaning heavily into the multiverse concept, perhaps Maguire and Garfield will return to critique Holland's new homemade suit.

He does. TASM2 suit is impeccable.

@DrReedRichards - I never saw any difference between that one and the one from the Raimi films.

@soberchimera - well, check them again ;)

@soberchimera - The eyes are the biggest difference. The other major departure are the weblines. Tobey's are more raised and almost silver. Andrew's are thinner and black. Looks more comic accurate than Tobey's by a small margin.

@soberchimera - webbing on suit, spider on chest , and eyes on mask most obvious I saw made difference

@dragon316 @JoeInTheBox @Fogs - Meh, the webbing is silver on both suits and the eyes are only slightly different IMO. I think everyone just had recency bias in 2014. I think we can all agree the Raimi suit looked better than the 2012 Webb suit haha.

@soberchimera - The Raimi suit looks like over designed crap, the ASM suit was by far the better design out of the two. I prefer Hollands suit at the end of NWH more than either though I just wish it kept the black. The blue does and has always looked dumb af.

@soberchimera - Andrew's weblines are thinner and darker that Tobey's. Blends in more to the suit design. Tobey's comes off looking looking more like a metallic grid.

I'm not claiming which one I think is better. Just pointing out the obvious differences.

@soberchimera - you need to check your eyes,homie. Clearly Sam raini's suit is too busy and darker.

@solskulldeath - Prefer sam raimi. Webb's TASM 1 looks like a pig skin with color. tasm 2 is too zack snyder inspired and dark. Raimi and MCU's is the best in terms of color and design.
solskulldeath
solskulldeath - 7/31/2023, 10:49 PM
@mastakilla39 - I am sorry bro...I disagree with you. Sam Raimi's spider suit is too busy, especially the suit's web. The eyes are too sharp. The second ASM spider suit is majestic, in terms of the colors and the eye design...but I do respect your opinion. cheers.

Maguire had the best suit, hope Raimi comes back to do another film in his series.

@harryba11zack - agree, kinda hate how most of the mcu superheroes just have a cgi suit and mask.

It’s still weird how the producers on TASM1 said “We need a new look for Spidey. Make the suit look dirty and grungy, give it tons of texture, and constantly film him in shadow.” And then two years later it was “Screw it! Just give him the comics costume! Cloth suit, giant eyes, make it super colorful!”

Well he aint wrong...
mountainman
mountainman - 7/31/2023, 8:55 AM
Yes.

Despite a number of problems with his movies, Garfield had the best suit, the best Spider-man quips, and the best swinging.

Too bad the stories were bad and his Peter wasn’t a great take.
Fogs

@mountainman - Agreed. Good Spidey, not so much of a Parker.
mountainman
mountainman - 7/31/2023, 9:28 AM
@Fogs - His relationship with Gwen was the only Parker highlight from those movies.
Fogs
Fogs - 7/31/2023, 9:30 AM
@mountainman - Yeah, but that was more of a storyline thing. I really dislike the smartass Peter.
mountainman
mountainman - 7/31/2023, 9:30 AM
@Fogs - I’ll make the argument that, besides the look, The Lizard was well done in the first movie.

If Holland and Zendaya being sort of a package deal is the case, then the No Way Home ending was a weird choice. I think they could've came up with a better reason, to explore the multiverse, and bring in the other Spider-Men.

I do love the TASM2 suit but I can't wait to see more of the Romita inspired suit.
Fogs
Fogs - 7/31/2023, 9:12 AM
Yeah, the TASM2 reigns supreme...

Up until NWH's last scene.
That one was simply perfect.
OptimusCrime
OptimusCrime - 7/31/2023, 9:23 AM
Nah, final MCU suit is my favorite.
TASM2 suit was great, but hated the webpatern, the webshootes were too wonky and to high up his arm... and the Spider logo on his chest was to low.

But to be fair! Almost all Spidey suits looks epic when in action.

@OptimusCrime - I like the web pattern spidey suit in the first TASM

dragon316 - 7/31/2023, 9:24 AM
I will say this he does I always like Todd McFarland eyes on Spider-Man mask

Homecoming suit still my favourite

Fogs

@PlusUltra - I'll just go ahead and say it was refreshing to finally not have the raised webbing everywhere. Never liked it.

This one looked more like the Marvels' Alex Ross suit type of material.
Razorface1
Razorface1 - 7/31/2023, 9:28 AM
Well he WAS the best Spider-man, so it fits.
blitzburgh
blitzburgh - 7/31/2023, 9:39 PM
@Razorface1 - he was the worst by far
Razorface1
Razorface1 - 8/1/2023, 6:24 PM
@blitzburgh - i get why you might differ. I for one love the Spidey from the comics, so thats my baseline.
blitzburgh
blitzburgh - 8/8/2023, 6:45 PM
@Razorface1 - not even close to comics. Don't remember Peter bullying flash like he did in the gym. Don't remember him being six foot in the comics either

Nothing but facts.

I will forever have a soft spot for those Raimi ones tho.

BassMan - 7/31/2023, 9:33 AM
Totally agree, loved the huge eyes. Plus Garfield had the best body type for Spidey, kinda tall and lanky. He really got the contorted poses down great, and had best web swinging. Looked very real compared to the others.
