And was it just him or were the others considered/planned too??” To the question, the producer candidly responded that the team wanted Holland, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s cameos in the animated movie.
“We pitched the Sony brass an ambitious tag involving Spider-Ham, Tobey, Andrew, and Tom,” he replied to the fan. As to why it didn’t make it to the screen, Miller explained that the Sony execs “felt it was ‘too soon.’ ”
