Andrew Garfield On Whether He Was Ever Asked By Marvel To Return As SPIDER-MAN
In a new interview, former Spider-Man Andrew Garfield talks about petitioning Sony to allow the wall-crawler to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and offers a vague idea of the direction that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 would have gone in had it actually been made. Check it out!
Based on the leaked "Sony Hack" emails, neither Sony nor Marvel Studios had much interest in bringing back Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man when they started discussing working together, but The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was still going to happen for a little while at least. Asked by Uproxx where development on the threequel was and what it would have entailed, the British actor said: "I was actually starting to workshop ideas with Alex Kurtzman, who was going to be writing it. We thought to kind of start from the base level, the foundational level of where have we left Peter and where do we want to see him go and what’s logical. And how do we build upon where we left off with this deep, desperate moment with Gwen? So, yeah, we got to some pretty heavy places and I was really excited to kind of explore it and be involved on the ground level like that"
As I mentioned above, it didn't appear as if there was ever any thought given to Garfield playing Marvel's Peter Parker, and he confirmed that fact. "No. To be honest [pauses], all the ins and outs of what happened is a more tender conversation that maybe I don’t want to talk about in public in a press situation. But all I can say is that I’m stoked to go and watch a Marvel film of Spider-Man." It sounds like things didn't end on a particularly amicable note, and it's hard not to feel sorry for the actor after he was unceremoniously dropped from the franchise. Still, he has no hard feelings about the whole situation. "I’m really, really grateful for the whole ride of it. And I’m really excited for the next one. I’ve been petitioning to hook up with Marvel since the beginning, so I’m really glad they’re finally doing it." What do you guys think about Garfield's comments?
