As we reported earlier this week, Spider-Man himself, Andrew Garfield, was rumored to have ruined a special segment of the 2014 Oscars ceremony that would have involved the Make-a-Wish Foundation's own superhero, Miles "Batkid" Scott. The rumors stated that after disagreeing with the segment's writing, Garfield got fed up and backed out, thus leading to Chris Evans replacing him and the special bit being cut. As it turns out, this is entirely false!
Vanity Fair reports:
In full collaboration with the Academy and the show writer, Andrew prepared a segment for the Oscars to honor Miles Scott as the true hero that he is. At some point overnight on Saturday / Sunday morning, it was decided by those running the show that the segment didn't work in the ceremony. They decided to pull it - Andrew and Miles were equally upset. The producers arranged for Miles and his family to visit Disneyland on Monday and Andrew drove down to visit them and to bring Miles a personal gift. Andrew did the right thing for Batkid and anyone saying otherwise is flat out lying.
This is incredibly embarrassing for the person that was quoted saying: "Garfield was such a spoiled brat that he didn't even want to be a presenter." It came from Page Six, so we shouldn't be too surprised that it was false. We should all reconsider how we view Andrew Garfield, especially since he turned out to be a real hero in the end.
"Basically, because of the fluid nature of live TV production, ultimately the segment didn't work," an Academy rep told US Weekly.
