He told Amy Adams, “I signed up to serve the story and serve this incredible character that I’ve been dressing as since I was three, and then it gets compromised and it breaks your heart.

Garfield allegedly cancelled the appearance at the last moment, much to the displeasure of studio bosses. It was revealed during the infamous Sony hack of 2014 that studio representatives were left red-faced after Garfield failed to show up at a lavish event in Brazil, where the release date for the third Amazing Spider-Man film was to be announced.
