You owe the world your gifts. You just have to figure out how to use them, and know that wherever they take you, we'll always be here.
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) dir. Marc Webb
"[There was] undeniable excitement at the concept of just the simple image of the three of us together.
It was exciting on so many levels. On a fan level — which I am — and on an actor level, being able to work with my Spider-Man, Tobey, and then the brilliant Tom. Then, on an even deeper level of, well, what does that mean? What can we explore about these three brothers who are separated through time and space?
The essence of that character [Peter Parker] is so much about isolation and being a one-man army, especially in the origins of the story. Obviously, with Tom's iteration, joining in with the Avengers is a deeply reassuring thing — but I think, essentially, he's a lone kid, and that's what makes him so compelling and relatable because we all know what that is somehow.
It was just suddenly mind-boggling and incredibly healing and beautiful to think, 'What if you discovered you weren't in fact alone and that someone was going through the exact same struggle that you felt like you were uniquely going through?' That feeling like you're not alone in the universe is quite a powerful thing.
I felt like the pressure was off, and I was given a lot of freedom to explore and be the irreverent version of the character that I always felt a connection to — to be messy and free and playful and silly. It just felt like a very free, healing experience.
And that was probably a lot to do with Tom. Tom had to carry that movie. Me and Tobey just got to show up and support him and have some fun."
