“I remember when Sam Raimi directed his first one, and I was 28 or 29, I had these dreams because I’m kind of a megalomaniac, and I wished I had been asked to do one. So I wish I had directed [Garfield] in Spider-Man,” Guadagnino said during an appearance at Marrakech Film Festival (viaVariety), where Garfield is serving on a jury led by the director.
Guadagnino and Garfield are working together on the director’s next movie, After the Hunt, which wrapped filming this summer. Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Chloë Sevigny will also star in the upcoming thriller, which follows a college professor who’s forced to confront her own past when a colleague is the subject of serious allegations.
Next up for Guadagnino, though, is Queer, which stars Daniel Craig as an American expat in Mexico City who becomes infatuated with a younger man, played by Drew Starkey. Set in the ’50s and based on the novel of the same name by William S. Burroughs, the film sees Guadagnino re-team with Challengers screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes.
Queer arrives in theaters on December 13. In the meantime, check out our guide to the other bestupcoming movieson the way.
