There are actors that I like seeing on screen, and then there are those that it feels like I would follow into endless stories with. Andrew Garfield has long been the latter for me. I got into his career through Spider-Man at a time when I was really starting to follow actors on my own for the first time and find my taste in films outside of my household. I think he’s one of the best we have, with more on the way in the 2026 movie schedule too, but can we talk about how devastating his films are?
It’s been about fifteen years now that I’ve been following Garfield’s career, and I thought it then, and I thought it now: the guy loves a tragic premise. And hey, I get it, and I have all the respect for him and his career thus far, but my goodness! This is less so me complaining, and more so realizing this through the progression of his career.
