The actor shared that the Kind of Kindness actress kept texting him, asking if he was involved in this new Spider-Man film, adding, "And I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ She was like, ‘Shut up. Just tell me.’ And I’m like, ‘I honestly don’t know.’ I kept it going even with her. It’s hilarious."

Garfield added that he never told Stone the truth before the film’s release. After she eventually saw the movie, she called him a "jerk" for keeping it a secret, noting, "I didn’t want to tell anyone. I took it super seriously. I told no one."

Meanwhile, in a previous interview with Variety, Andrew Garfield opened up about his experience reprising his Spider-Man role for Jon Watts' film. Garfield told the outlet that he hadn't expected to have another conversation about playing Peter Parker again and was "very excited to just be a fan again."

However, when Amy Pascal, Kevin Feige, and Jon Watts approached him with the idea of reprising the role, the actor said it was "undeniable" to him. He added that it sounded incredibly fun, spiritual, and thematically interesting. The actor expressed that as a Spider-Man fan, the idea of seeing three versions of the character in the same frame was enough to convince him.
