SPIDER-MAN: Andrew Garfield Confirms He'll Return As Peter Parker IF Marvel Can Deliver A "Great Concept"

Spider-Man: No Way Home star Andrew Garfield has confirmed he would be willing to return as Peter Parker, provided Marvel Studios can find a story he believes is worth telling. Here's what he had to say...

Andrew Garfield once had a bright future as Spider-Man; alas, when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed to live up to expectations, Sony Pictures teamed up with Marvel Studios and scrapped plans for two more solo movies, Sinister Six, and an earlier iteration of Venom

Like Tobey Maguire before him, Garfield's time as Peter Parker didn't exactly end on a high note. However, both actors were given a second chance when they joined Tom Holland in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home

Talking to Esquire, Garfield admitted he was "left dangling" when The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was shelved and said his MCU debut "was really healing for me."

As for whether he'd be open to reprising the role again, he revealed, "For sure, I would 100 percent come back 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 that’s unique and odd and exciting and that you can sink your teeth into."

Garfield added, "I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return."

The question now is whether he will return. Social media scoopers are already hinting that the plan is for Garfield to show up in Spider-Man 4, likely meaning Peter #1 will enlist Peter #2 and #3 to help him and Tom Hardy's Venom battle the King in Black...assuming the rumours are true! 

According to @MyTimeToShineH, Garfield's Spidey will appear in at least two upcoming projects. We'll see.

Last year, Maguire also said he would also be open to suiting up again. 

"I love these films and I love all of the different series," he said. "If these guys called me and said, ‘Would you show up tonight to hang out and goof around?’ or ‘Would you show up to do this movie or read a scene or do a Spider-Man thing?’ it would be a ‘yes!’ Because why wouldn’t I want to do that?"

It's been claimed that Holland's wall-crawler will be a big part of the next Avengers movies so we also can't discount the possibility of Garfield and Maguire showing up in Doomsday and Secret Wars.

I present to you, Jonathan Hickman's Time Runs Out and Secret Wars (and it's many tie-ins).

@ObserverIO - Hickman’s legit got the Midas touch.

@ObserverIO - i still have all of Hickman's runs of Avengers in my shelf and i understand nothing, i really cant imagine this adapted in a movie by any director on the MCU rooster.

@ObserverIO - I really do think Doomsday is gonna be based on Time Runs Out. Doomsday is just a more marketable name than Time Runs Out is

The best concept would be to just not have him

@HermanM -

I agree completely.

Andrew, you did the TASM movies. Don't start acting now that you have high standards for Spider-Man.

ASM 1 was bad. ASM 2 was horrible.

But the brits all have a huge butt love for Garfield in the role.

But I do think SM:NWH with all 3 Spideys was great. Like a story ripped right out of a comic book.

Would be fun if he keeps denying he's returning as Spider-Man as part of the official promo tour though, even after the movie is released

TBF he looks just like the new Ulitmate Spider-man on that magazine cover.

I honestly will be surprised if he doesn’t show up again in Doomsday or Secret Wars. Same with Wolverine.

Honestly , I would love for him to be in Secret Wars but after that I’m good…

While I had my positives & negatives with the TASM films , him (and the relationship with Stone’s Gwen) was always the highlight but I’m cool with how his story was resolved in NWH.

After 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.
