Andrew Garfield, once the heartthrob of audiences as Spider-Man, is once again advocating for a gay Spider-Man in upcoming films. The actor, now known for his role in "The Uprising", reignited his 2013 comments about the character’s sexuality in an Entertainment Weekly interview. "Why can’t he be gay?" he asked, referring to Peter Parker.
"Why can’t he be into boys?" This time, Garfield emphasized that "anyone can be in that suit." Despite Marvel's stance on the character's race and sexuality, being mostly "Caucasian and heterosexual", Garfield maintains his belief. He cites the Spiderman character’s history of inclusivity as evidence, stating that "you don’t see skin color, you don’t see gender, you don’t see sexuality," which allows viewers to project themselves into the suit.
Examples of this are suggested, such as Web-Weaver, a gay Spider-character from Earth-71490, and Jessica Drew, a female clone of Peter Parker who is romantically interested in women.
