Garfield’s Peter is later called to aid Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in No Way Home after a spell gone awry breaks open the multiverse and brings over the people who know Spidey’s identity. His version of Spider-Man was last seen failing to save his girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) from Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), who was transformed into the Green Goblin.
