I remember the asm2 did good on the box office but Sony had crazy expectations
Plus the whole thing with Andrew not going to the party
I don't think it's had anything to do with box office. Andrew's movies were doing fine. I have no definitive proof, but I honestly believe Stan Lee made a call and had Andrew Garfield dropped after he said Spider-Man was probably bisexual. Because right after that press tour where he made those remarks, he was done.
Can’t wait to go back and read y’all reactions. What a perfect fukking movie. Broke me down like 3-4 times off pure memory alone. We grew up with these characters. Salute to Marvel for actually doing this. They all looked amazing. Happy for Andrew for getting that save redemption.

I don’t do conspiracy theories but this one is funny

I mean, neither Stan Lee or the studio were not happy about being asked to respond to his suggestions for a queer Spider-Man. He was literally released a few months afterwards.
Stan Lee reacts to the idea of a bisexual Spider-Man
Andrew Garfield 'pressured' to apologise for bisexual Spider-Man comments
Andrew Garfield on Sony Ignoring His Idea to Make Spider-Man Bisexual
Tobey treated them like peasants for having to use web shooters lol
I’m not disagreeing with the idea of them not being happy. Just don’t think that was it lol. But it’s 7 years ago now.
Is what it is
i'm almost certain that marvel has a clause in all mediums that spiderman has a template that cannot be changed

You're probably right. It may be an assortment of things, but I think his comments were the nail in the coffin. Also his ideas about who Spider-Man should be hint at some creative tensions. A lot of studios don't like it when actors go off the company script. Maybe they wanted someone less mouthy and unorthodox. He was just supposed to be doing promo, not stirring up drama lol

Yeah they do Sony and marvel have a long list of must-have characteristics for Peter Parker
According to Sony and Marvel, here's a leaked list of what Spider-Man can and can't be on-screen - Nerd Reactor
One of them being he can’t be homosexual
That might’ve been it

Edit: he ain’t say i hate that guy. He said “that guy” then licked the screen

“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.
“So I said: ‘OK, so you want me to make sure that we get the bigots and the homophobes to buy their tickets?’”
