Long time, Peter Parker

02 Aug, 2026

I love Peter Parker.

And Tobey Maguire has always been Peter Parker for me. For many years, I couldn't even pronounce Maguire, so I'd just address him as Peter Parker.

That's how I saw them. Tobey as Peter.

And when I got to know that someone else is going to be Peter Parker, I just lost interest in the Spider-Man series altogether.

I neither accepted Andrew Garfield nor Tom Holland as Peter Parker.

I didn't even watch "The Amazing Spider-Man" series featuring Andrew Garfield (though there's Emma Stone in it).

And today, I booked tickets for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" just because I couldn't find any other good movie.

I walked into the theatre with complete indifference to Tom Holland.

But…I walked out of the theatre with my heart giving in to Tom Holland.

Because, for the first time, for the very first time, I did see Peter Parker in Tom Holland.
