Tom Holland and Zendaya, co-stars from Spider-Man: Homecoming, recently confirmed their real-life romance with a publicized car kiss. Their on-screen chemistry translated into an off-screen relationship after four years of friendship and previous breakups. Notably, this love story aligns with a charming coincidence, as the 2 actors who played Spider-Man before them – Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield – also ended up dating their on-screen crushes. This delightful pattern has earned the Spider-Man franchise the nickname ” the matchmaker.”
Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst
As the original Spider-Man actor when the first film debuted in 2002, Tobey Maguire laid the foundation for the character’s development. The American actor and his co-star Kristen Dunst sparked a frenzy with their iconic upside-down kiss in the romantic rain. Their on-screen love translated into real life, as Tobey, the “Spider-Man,” captured Kristen Dunst’s heart.
The blossoming romance between the two actors created sweet on-screen chemistry. Unfortunately, Tobey and Kristen parted ways, becoming friends before the next film’s production began. In 2017, Kristen comfortably affirmed that, for her, Tobey remаins the greatest Spider-Man.
Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone
“The Amazing Spider-Man,” though not produced by Marvel, gained fаme for its high-octane action and the romantic chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Following the trend, the on-screen couple of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy became Hollywood’s next real-life pair, starting their love story once again with a Spider-Man film.
In 2015, after four years together, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone officially separated. Despite the breakup, both remained supportive, often chatting at award ceremonies. Andrew openly declared his love for Emma in an interview, stating she would be his choice to be stranded on a deserted island with.
