Andrew Garfield, who was on Luca Guadagnino’s jury with Jacob Elordi at the Marrakech Film Festival Press Conference, said he has worked hard to avoid being frequently asked about ‘Spider-Man.’
“I’m still working on it, obviously. It’s an imperfect process,” he joked. Still, he said he was “grateful for that time” because “it made it easier to work immediately with people like Martin Scorsese.”
Guadagnino, who kicked off the Marrakech Film Festival with a tribute to his Moroccan roots and his love for the city, unexpectedly remarked that he found ‘Spider-Man’ a “fascinating superhero” after Garfield’s comments on the franchise.“I remember when Sam Raimi directed his first movie, I was 28 or 29, I had these dreams because I’m a bit of a megalomaniac and I thought I wish I had been asked to do one. So I wish I had directed you in ‘Spider-Man,’” he said.
Garfield also spoke about the making of ‘After the Hunt,’ saying, “Luca and I have been trying to work together for 15 years and we finally made it this summer.” “Some of the greatest experiences of my life have been the fragmentation of my consciousness about how other cultures create.”
He referenced his work with Japanese actors in ‘Silence’ and with Iranian director Ramin Bahrani, who directed him in 99 Homes. “We all want to live as much life as possible and touch as much of the world and as much of life as possible,” Garfield continued.
‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ from 2012, in which Garfield plays Spider-Man, is one of Garfield’s most iconic films.
