Andrew Garfield recently sat down for an interview and during the conversation, he was asked about his potential return as Spider-Man and whether he’s had any conversations with Sony or Marvel on it.
After Garfield and Tobey Maguire reprised their Spider-Man roles in No Way Home, and since then, fans have wanted to see their stories continue. We just have no idea what the studios are thinking in regard to this.
What we know now, though, is that Garfield has had talks with the studio. While a guest on The Happy Sad Confused podcast, Josh Horowitz said to Garfield:
“I refuse to believe that in the last few years, you haven’t had some conversations about what might be the future.”
Garfield laughed in response before saying: “Yeah, of course, your assumption is not unfounded. If I was in your position, I can imagine going, ‘Yeah, he’s probably had some conversations,’ too, yeah.”
When previously asked about reprising his role again, Garfield said: “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.”
Earlier this year it was rumored that Garfield had been approached by Marvel about joining Avengers: Secret Wars. It was also reported that Sony want Garfield and Maguire back for Spider-Man 4.
In another report, it was claimed that the continuation of Garfield’s Peter Parker story is definitely coming, but there’s a catch… it won’t coming in a standalone film.
It was explained: “I really don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up with this because the chances of him getting a full blown movie are very minimal. A continuation of his story is 100% coming but it’s not going to warrant another film at this point in time.”
I hope that Garfield and Maguire do get to come back as their versions of Spider-Man, and if they do, I hope that get a strong story.
