No! But we’d find a fabric and then dye it and find we couldn’t get a deep red, which was disappointing.

Yeah, you can’t really have a patchy, tie-dye Spider-Man. So it took a lot of time to find the right fabric, and then it had to be something with all those qualities that could take a very intense dye. Because some fabrics stretch, but then they bag out, which I’m sure you’ve experienced with a pair of tights or something. At the same time, there’s a comfort level, which we really worked on, to make it more comfortable, to make it easier to get in and out of, and being able to take the mask off more easily, all those things to make Andrew more comfortable.Īlso, it had to be stretchy, but not so stretchy that it wouldn’t stretch back. Yeah, it’s challenging, because you need a fabric that’s very strong, because the costume could get easily torn if he’s getting dragged behind a car or one of the things he has to do. He obviously has to be able to move around a lot, so how does that affect the materials you can use? So it’s pretty spectacular, the acting that has to go on behind that mask.Īndrew Garfield’s a very physical actor, too. But he doesn’t have eyebrows, he doesn’t have a mouth, he doesn’t have anything to work with. We had several sets of eyes – because the eyes pop in and out – so we could see how they would change his expression when we tried different things. It’s interesting, isn’t it, that such a simple thing – the face is just eyes, really, there aren’t any other features – can change so much just by altering something a tiny bit. It allows him to take on whatever emotion – it’s funny, if you cover someone’s face up, how do they convey emotion? It’s almost sort of neutral, and then whatever Andrew does with his body and voice, the eyes take on that quality. So what kind of expression did you go for, in the end? We wanted to get that big, wide, white eye. And then we just made the eye as big as it possibly could be on the proportion of Andrew’s face and not look like an ant or a bug. It’s interesting if you just change an angle a tiny bit it would make him look angry or mean, so we played around with that for quite some time. He had done a different take on it in the first movie and he wanted to change it up, so we experimented with slightly different shapes. Well, again, Marc wanted to get a really iconic eye. It’s one of the major differences between the costume in the first film and this one, too, so can we talk about the eyes? You mentioned the eyes in the mask, and that seems to be quite a contentious thing.
