Holland didn't meet Maguire, Garfield over Spider-Man role

Actor Tom Holland says he didnt reach out to actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to prepare for the role of Spider-Man in Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

Holland is currently gearing up for "Spider-Man: Homecoming". Maguire and Garfield have previously portrayed the superhero in different film franchises.

"I wasn't in touch with them (Maguire and Garfield). They both said some really lovely things about me online. I met Andrew at the BAFTAs the other day. It was cool. He's such a nice guy and we had a great chat and went our separate ways," Holland told variety.com.

Holland said that when he met Garfield, they mainly talked about their professional careers.

"We just talked about how fantastic he's been doing and all the brilliant movies he's been in lately. He talked to me about how excited I must be and how happy he was for me. It was all great," he said.
