Andrew Garfield Addresses Spider-Man Return Rumors: "They'll Ask Me When I'm 90"

"The Amazing Spider-Man" star Andrew Garfield recently revisited the topic of his potential return as Spider-Man, admitting that ever since "Spider-Man: No Way Home," he's been asked about reprising his role as Peter Parker at almost every public appearance. He joked that the question might "follow him for the rest of his life."

Before the MCU's Multiverse Saga kicked off, it was widely believed that Garfield and Tobey Maguire were unlikely to ever return as Spider-Man. Especially after Sony Pictures replaced Garfield in 2015, with Tom Holland taking over the Spider-Man mantle in "Captain America: Civil War," a comeback was considered highly improbable.

However, with the release of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in 2021, the iconic on-screen reunion of three generations of Spider-Men became a beloved moment for fans. To maintain secrecy, Garfield had repeatedly denied his involvement before the film's release, which now makes his current statements more prone to speculation.

He recently reiterated that he is not involved in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" or "Avengers: Doomsday," emphasizing that he is genuinely not lying this time.

In an interview, Garfield stated, "I think this question might follow me for the rest of my life. When I'm 90, they'll still be asking me if I'm starring in 'Spider-Man 512'." Despite this, he stressed that he doesn't mind fans' expectations, adding, "Everyone can ask whatever they want, I'm truly lucky in my life."

Following the success of "No Way Home," there were calls for Sony to produce "The Amazing Spider-Man 3," but no further news has emerged. Nevertheless, speculation persists that Garfield could return in "Avengers: Secret Wars," set to release in 2027 and conclude the MCU's Multiverse Saga.
