Andrew Garfield has said he was “pressured” to apologise for wanting Spider-Man to “explore” being bisexual.
Garfield, who starred as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2012 and 2014 respectively, made the comments in an interview with The Independent.
Referencing a since-removed 2013 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said: “There was an interview I gave where I said: ‘Why can’t Peter explore his bisexuality in his next film? Why can’t MJ be a guy?’ I was then put under a lot of pressure to retract that and apologise for saying something that is a legitimate thing to think and feel.”
