When we meet Spider-Man at the beginning of this film, he’s taken great pleasure in the control of his power.” Garfield commented on Spider-Man’s attitude in the film. Moving on from that topic, Garfield compared Spider-Man to Usain Bolt in discussing his playful nature before the challenge. In some cases they attempt suicide, and sometimes are successful. In terms of teenagers now a days, there are horror stories about young gay and women not being accepted by society. Just love for the underdog, the marginalized. So how much of an outcast is my version of Peter Parker anymore? That’s my question. He continued, “He represents everyone, but more importantly he represents the underdog.
He will put himself in harms way for everyone. Black, white, Chinese, gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgender. What I believe about Spider-Man is that he does stand for everybody. It was a philosophical question about sexual orientation, about prejudice…It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for me in the third movie to be like ‘Now I think I like boys.’ It was just more a philosophical question. Garfield eloquently waxed prose about his question of Spider-Man being gay.
