Andrew Garfield was recently asked about a potential return to playing Spider-Man and joked that anything is possible.
What did Andrew Garfield say about returning as Spider-Man?
During a recent Q&A session after a screening of his latest film We Live in Time, Garfield was asked if he was coming back as Spider-Man or not. Garfield jokingly cursed at the question and then said that he hadn’t heard anything as of yet, but he could never rule anything out.
“Oh, f–k you, mate,” Garfield joked. “No, yeah. I get it. Not that I’m aware of right now, but you know, never say never. Nice try.”
For Garfield, this isn’t the first time that he’s been open about returning as Spider-Man. In an interview with Esquire earlier this month, Garfield also expressed interest in coming back, but only if it’s a great concept.
“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 said. “I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return.”
Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Garfield’s character get a bit of redemption following his appearances in Sony Pictures’ The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, which was much more divisive amongst fans than previous and future Spider-Man movies.
Following the success of No Way Home, rumors swiftly began popping up that Garfield and Tobey Maguire would be reprising their roles as Spider-Man in potential sequel films to their respective iterations. A fourth MCU Spider-Man film is also in the works, with Destin Daniel Cretton attached to direct the project. It’s unclear whether or not the film will see Garfield or Maguire return, however.
