Voice actor Yuri Lowenthal ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2fame, has said who his favouriteSpider-Manis. And it’s not his own.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lowenthal commented on his favourite Spidey performance coming fromTobey Maguire. This isn’t much of a surprise given that many hold that performance near and dear to their hearts.
Yuri’s comment in full mentions the joy ofSpider-Man: No Way Home, “Tobey (Maguire) was always my guy. WatchingSpider-Man: No Way Home, I watched all the joys of those guys hanging out together. Honestly, I could have watched an entire movie of those three Spider-Men sitting in a room together, shooting the s**t.”

So could we Yuri, so could we.Yuri Lowenthalgot to tap into a different side of Peter Parker in the latest entry of the franchise, channeling some anger as the symbiote suit impacts our usually lovable web-head.
“You ask any actor, ‘would you rather play a her or villain?’ and they’ll say villain. You get to be bad and play in that world, but not go to jail.” Yuri does a great job with arrogant and obnoxious Spider-Man but found it difficult. He went on to say “I underestimated how hard it would be to make your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man, not friendly. I’ve settled into such a zone with Peter to make him the opposite of that.”
The entire interview is a goldmineof information on the game and his acting craft, but also his views on the Spider-Man character as a whole. After nominating Maguire as ‘his guy’ he goes on to say that he agrees with a writer who said “that Miles is more ‘Spider-Man’ to a lot of kids out there, and Peter is that old guy who cracks jokes that they don’t think is funny. I think it’s awesome that Spider-Man can be an enduring character in and out of himself.”
