“I placed myself in that position of, Well, what would I want to know? Would I want to be toyed with?

Would I want to be lied to? Would I want to be kept on my toes guessing? Would I want to discover it
when I went to the theater? Would I want to be guessing, guessing, guessing?”

The answer to those questions, he said, was clear. “I would want the actor to do an incredibly good job
at convincing me he wasn’t in it. And then I would want to lose my mind in the theater when my instinct
was proven right. That’s what I would want.”

And that’s why, during interviews about “tick, tick…BOOM!” and “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” he kept
insisting that the rumors about scenes with all three of the franchise’s Spideys were false, that it
sounded like a fun idea to return to the role he’d played in 2012’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” and its
2014 sequel, but he hadn’t gotten a call about it.

“Like anyone who’s played the game Werewolf knows, if you are the werewolf your heart kind of sinks
because you know you have a stressful couple of hours ahead of you,” he said. “You’re gonna have to lie
to your friends’ faces and try to convince them that you are not the bad guy in the game.” He shrugged.
“But it was thrilling, actually.”

He was so immersed in the game, he said, that it upset him when it appeared as if leaks from the film’s
set could spoil the surprise. “I worked so hard to keep it secret that I was in Atlanta shooting,” he said.
“All these leaks were happening, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, guys, what the hell is going on? I’m
working so hard here to stay secret, and then here’s an image of me with Tobey!’ And they’re like, ‘No,
no, we’re gonna keep it quiet.’ ‘OK, I’ll keep denying it.’

“I was happy to do it, but it was a lot of work on everyone’s part. It obviously gave people a big thrill in
the theater, and what more do you want from a theater experience than a thrill?”

A laugh. “It’s been a rare experience to play that mass game of Werewolf with every single Spider-Man
fan in the world. That’s been incredibly fun.”
