RUMOR: Andrew Garfield To Return As SPIDER-MAN For "At Least Two More" Projects

We had a feeling Andrew Garfield would return as Spider-Man after the positive response to his No Way Home role, and a new rumor is claiming that he is now locked in for at least two more projects...

Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire both reprised their respective big-screen Spider-Man roles in the mega-hit Spider-Man: No Way Home, joining current MCU Webhead Tom Holland for a Multiversal adventure that ultimately took in close to $2 billion at the worldwide box office (surpassing that milestone if you count the re-release).

While the response to both actors' return was mostly very positive, fans seemed particularly happy to see Garfield back in the iconic blue and red after his tenure as the hero was cut short following The Amazing Spider-Man 2's underperformance.

Earlier today, Garfield made it clear that he'd be more than happy to suit-up as Spider-Man again should the opportunity present itself - and "if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before."

In the same interview with Esquire, Garfield admitted that he didn't think Maguire would have much interest in returning as Spider-Man.

“I thought Tobey is not going to want to do that. He’ll act every 10 years much to my chagrin, and I’ve shared that to him. When I heard that he was kind of leaning in, I thought it was either going to be the greatest thing in the world or the worst thing in the world. I am so grateful because it was the most joyful thing ever. All the pressure was on Tom.”

It seems Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios may have come up with something that piqued the actor's interest, as MTTSH is claiming that Garfield is now locked in to appear as Spidey in "at least two more projects."

We assume one of these projects is Avengers: Secret Wars, but wouldn't be at all surprised if the other was either a standalone story focusing on his Peter Parker or another team-up with his fellow wall-crawlers.

Spider-Man 4 is currently in development, with Holland and Zendaya both set to return in their respective roles. No Way Home scribes Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers are working on the script, and Destin Daniel Cretton was recently announced as director.

What do you make of this rumor? Let us know in the comments section down below.

"With Spider-Man's identity now revealed, our friendly neighborhood web-slinger is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life as Peter Parker from the high stakes of being a superhero. When Peter asks for help from Doctor Strange, the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man."

When you read "rumor" take it as if it was saying "bullshit".

@TheRedLeader - I find it funny that we have this “rumor” the same day we get an article saying that Garfield would be willing to come back to the role if the idea was right.

Like I know Andrew has lied before but something seems fishy…
TheRedLeader
TheRedLeader - 10/2/2024, 3:15 PM
@TheVisionary25 - He have a team of publicists that hear the rumors online and fuels it with fake news. That's how actors land gigs sometimes. Then, this site that have zero journalistic responsibility, irresponsibly post it as if was a true rumor. But it's just bullshit.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/2/2024, 3:23 PM
@TheRedLeader - perhaps , I could see that

I get it also in that they have a site to run so if we just waited for truly official news then it would be few and far between hence you go ahead and post rumors

@TheVisionary25 - don’t get me wrong. I know this isn’t the Times, but I still love it.

Can't wait for them to end the multiverse bullshit, reboot the universe, and start looking forward instead of backwards

@Izaizaiza - You know that will be at least a decade.

@Izaizaiza - rebooting kind of feels like a step backwards
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 10/3/2024, 10:06 AM
@Slotherin - Ya think? Could be a soft reboot...but I am personally tired/bored with seeing anyone who played roles in FOX or old Sony films showing up in MCU films 🤷🏻‍♂️

RDJ being cast as Doom really pushes me to not give AF about where they are going
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 10/3/2024, 10:09 AM
@Lisa89 - Probably. Amazing how the MCU went from the excitement of endgame to where we are now. They really didn't know how to move forward after the conclusion of the infinity saga
Lisa89
Lisa89 - 10/3/2024, 11:48 AM
@Izaizaiza - If they knew then what they know now, they would have rebooted after “Endgane”.

Izaizaiza - 10/3/2024, 2:16 PM
@Lisa89 - Agreed.

@narrow290 - Sony took it personal when he didn't show up for that meeting which led to them sacking him. Both parties likely still hold a grudge.

@narrow290 - That would make sense. I know it’d be a bit convoluted with a bio-Rhino in the Kraven movie, but the whole thing they’ve put together is chaotic, so why not?

No he didn't. And no to that.

I dont think Toms Spidey movies were good enough on his own is what this is all saying
SATW42
SATW42 - 10/2/2024, 4:31 PM
@Matchesz - Except facts and logic don't actually apply to this statement, but sure.

First outing was 880 million you'll say "but RDJ!!!" RDJ has about 15 minutes of screen time in Homecoming.

Far From home did 1.132 billion, all on his own.

Matchesz - 10/2/2024, 4:43 PM
@SATW42 - I dont judge movies based on box office numbers I judge them on rewatchability. Its not like people actually ask for their money back if they didnt like the film
SATW42
SATW42 - 10/2/2024, 4:54 PM
@Matchesz - you said this was proof of that though. The only proof that the studio thinks they don’t stand on their own is how much money it makes. They were more than profitable soooo, there’s no basis of fact in what you’re saying.

You just “feel” this way
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/2/2024, 4:21 PM
I can easily see him and Tobey both coming back for Secret Wars but I think that should be it honestly which I’m cool with.

I quite liked how his arc was resolved in NWH by him saving Zendaya’s MJ (and getting some measure of redemption for not being able to save Gwen), I can imagine himself pulling himself back from the darkness and anger he talked about to be a true hero again.

It would be great to see him being that hero again in SW truly but after that , I’m fine with leaving his fate to the imagination.

If Spider-Man 4 is multiversal he’ll be in there, at the end of doomsday, and secret wars

It would be funny if he had a similar spell fiasco with Strange in his universe that sent him back to the MCU but no one remembers him, only Toby
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/2/2024, 4:39 PM
Here's a scoop from me (a guess): he'll appear in Secret Wars and Spider-Man 5/Spider-Verse. Ofcourse plans change, but that doesn't affect my credibility

I feel like the obvious play is for Garfield to get his part 3 and for him to face off against Venom. Then have him appear in Secret Wars but wearing the symbiont suit.

Hardly’s Venom is not good enough for the MCU proper, let him have a different Spidey

We are in multiversal hell now smh….

TASM3 set before NWH where he is fighting his darkness as Symbiote takes over. His character arc actually supports him going over the edge with the suit and having fun in the grey with Black Cat. Works so organically and believably than if they did the same with Holland.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/2/2024, 5:12 PM
@SpiderParker - that’s true though I think it could organically in believably work with Tom’s version too…

He’s lost everything at this point so that loneliness could lead to feelings of anger & such which would invite the Symbiote to take over

Hell you could even use your idea of Black Cat being there as him dwelling into the grey until he realizes he’s wrong.
SpiderParker
SpiderParker - 10/2/2024, 6:00 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Maybe but I think Garfield can pull it off better than Holland. Yes, the similarities are there between both Spider-Man, both lost their loved ones, best friend, etc. But TASM world is darker even though there's hope and quirkiness.

Garfield's SM knew staying with Gwen could put her in danger and it did. Holland now knows the same and chose to stay away.

Garfield's losses are his own fault which works better in that darker world. He is angry at his own self. And it is much easier to believe Garfield's Peter be a big jerk after putting on the black suit since he was already kind of one after he got powers. Something that never worked with Tobey.
