Over the last two decades, three actors have wall-crawled into the role of Spider-Man on the big screen. Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland have all played the character well, with each actor bringing something unique to the hero that sets them apart from the others. As such, many fans have their own personal favorites out of the three. Holland has the benefit of being the most recent, and he’s tied into the MCU, so he had a great foundation to build off of. And however infamous his duology, many fans have sided with Garfield for his more unique spin on the web slinger. Then we have the one who started it all, Tobey Maguire, who, in my humble opinion, is the most faithful and earnest portrayal of Spider-Man.
