The scene from Spider-Man: No Way Home which unites Toby McGuire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland went down as one of the most iconic moments in the history of grand cinema. Ever since Garfields’s memorable appearance, and the announcement of a fourth film, fans and media outlets have been buzzing with speculation of whether the actor would once again don the iconic Spidey suit.
The online chatter isn’t new to Garfield, who tried his best to keep everything under wraps to not give away his surprise return in No Way Home. The actor has clearly debunked the rumors, but could he be repeating the same trick again?
Andrew Garfield Denies Spider-Man 4 Rumors
The rumor mill of Andrew Garfield’s return to the Spider-Man universe shows no signs of slowing down as fans are hell-bent on analyzing his every move. In an interview with IndieWire, the actor was directly asked if he would reprise his role in the upcoming Spider-Man 4 movie, and his response was quite vague.
I mean, like the internet is a big place. I think there’s a lot of people who will just say anything to get clicks. So you might have been duped, I’m afraid.
However, the tone is quite similar to his previous public stance, where he outright denied any involvement in No Way Home. Some fans have clung to the hope that Garfield might return, but the actor’s tone suggests that he might be getting weary of the same endless question. But in another conversation with Screenrant, the actor has hinted about the future prospects for Peter Parker.
I think it’s kind of endless, what can be done with that character. Not that we should; not that we will, but I think you can always find another story to tell.
This comment signals that he is still open to continuing the legacy of Spider-Man under the right circumstances. He respects the importance of telling a meaningful story, so we can rest assured that he won’t do another film to simply capitalize on nostalgia.
Will Andrew Garfield Return as Spider-Man in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga?
With the Pandora box of Marvel’s multiverse, the possibilities are endless, and it’s hard to dismiss the fact that the filmmakers might jump at the chance to bring Garfield back, considering the fan excitement his appearance generated.
As MCU’s trajectory leads to films like Avengers: Secret Wars, there is a strong likelihood that Garfield’s Spider-Man could make an appearance. Moreover, he has been a part of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, so it is likely that another cameo might be on the cards.
Garfield’s latest denials echo the careful evasions he employed in the past and even though his statement about being “duped” sounds definitive, it’s Marvel that we’re talking about, and they guard every single detail of a project they want to keep under wraps. As they continue to develop multiverse-driven stories, Garfield’s Spider-Man remains a figure of immense potential.
