Fans were moved by iconic performances from Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland, as well as the groundbreaking success of ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse‘, which introduced audiences to Miles Morales as a lead character. So, fans are wondering if the revival will stay true to the original show’s tone.
