Andrew Garfield gives a positive update on possibly returning as his version ofSpider-Manafter his appearance in theMCU’sSpider-Man: No Way Home. It has been almost three years since Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures brought not one, but three live-action versions of Spider-Man together on the big screen. Followingthe ending toSpider-Man: No Way Home, the Phase 4 installment is still the most profitable MCU film in the entire Multiverse Saga, and the world is still hoping that Tom Holland joins forces again with Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s iterations of the web-crawler.
In a newEsquireprofile, Garfield looked back at his time being part of theSpider-Man: No Way Homecast afterThe Amazing Spider-Man 3was canceled. When asked if he would ever consider coming back as his version of Spider-Man in a future Marvel project,Garfield stressed that he is always keeping the door open as long as"it was the right thing.“He said:
It was really healing for me. 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’re able to sink your teeth into. I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return.
What Andrew Garfield’s New Spider-Man Comments Mean For His Marvel Future
Even thoughGarfield’sThe Amazing Spider-Man 3may never come to fruition,the actor’s positive outlook on still playing Spider-Man bodes well for people who want to see him return in the future. It’s evident that Garfield enjoyed playing Spider-Man in a Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures-shared production, bringing the best of both worlds together. If that continues to be the scenario that he gets offered to be part of in future installments, it’s hard to imagine not seeing Garfield back as the web-slinger.
Holland’sSpider-Man 4movieis closer to starting filming as director Destin Daniel Cretton has been tapped to helm the sequel in 2025.
In terms of theories about Garfield’s possible return tothe MCU timeline,many believe his version of Spider-Man will potentially be part ofAvengers: Doomsdayand/orAvengers: Secret Wars. That would be the most logical place to have Garfield show up, especially as the movies are the end of The Multiverse Saga. That would also be a way for Garfield’s Spider-Man variant to meet a lot of other Marvel characters, both within and outside the MCU.
Our Take On Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Comments
Given howAvengers: Secret Warsis rumored to set up a soft reboot of the MCU, which will likely see the merging of various timelines,Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures may reach out to Garfield about being part of Phase 6’s final stretch, if they haven’t already. After his unforgettable press tour forSpider-Man: No Way Home, Garfield’s recent comments could simply be him pretending again that he doesn’t know what is next for his Spider-Man when, in fact, he is potentially already attached to something for the MCU. But until then, the world will have to wait and see if, or when, they get to see Garfield’sSpider-Manon the big screen again.
