Andrew Garfield called Tom Holland "the perfect Peter Parker and Spider-Man" on "The Tonight Show."
Garfield also denied his involvement in Holland's upcoming third "Spider-Man" film.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" hits theaters on December 17.
"Tom Holland is just the perfect Peter Parker and Spider-Man," Garfield said while appearing virtually on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Monday.
"And I get to just be a fan again, which is my preferred position, to be able to sit in the audience and just kind of go, 'Yeah, you screwed up, mate. You didn't do it as well as you could have done,'" he joked.
In the same interview, Garfield denied his involvement in Holland's third "Spider-Man" movie, titled "No Way Home" and set for release on December 17. He also said that he watched the recently released trailer for the film and is "excited."
Garfield made his debut as the Marvel webslinger in Sony's "The Amazing Spider-Man" movies that hit theaters in 2012 and 2014. A third movie was ultimately scrapped and Garfield previously spoke openly about feeling "heartbroken" by the direction his franchise went in.

After Holland was announced as the latest actor to take on the mantle in a live-action adaptation, Garfield expressed his joy.
"Tom Holland is a really, really great actor," Garfield told Entertainment Tonight in 2015, mentioning Holland's work in the film "The Impossible."
"He's just this incredibly powerful, sensitive, wonderful young actor," he continued. "I'm just really excited to be a fan again as opposed to bearing the weight of it."
