Andrew Garfield would love to resume his role as Spider-Man, but given that there are already a few other Spideys in the Spider-Verse, his return would require something “very strange.”
“It would have to be very weird,” Garfield said. “I would like to do something very strange. Something very unique, and offbeat and surprising, kind of like the creative freedom they have with the animated SPIDER-VERSE movies.”
“I think they’re so great, and you can honour the character in so many ways through the multiverse,” he said. “That is the truth, and I know that I am going to be the boy who cried wolf forever.”
Garfield, who starred in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, told Esquire last year that he felt jilted after only making two movies.
“For sure, I would 100% 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.”
Earlier this year, the Teddy Bear Award® winner quelled rumors that he would appear in SPIDER-MAN 4 alongside Tom Holland.
“I’m gonna disappoint you. Yeah, no,” Garfield said. “But I know no one’s gonna trust anything I say from now on.”

Garfield was recently brought to tears on an episode of WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? He learned that one of his relatives was a “Monuments Man,” who protected and retrieved cultural items and building of significance in World War II, Yahoo! Entertainment reported.
He also visited a memorial gravesite in Poland for those who died at the Treblinka concentration camp. His three Jewish great-aunts died there.
“This is a memorial stone for the Jews from Kielce that met their ultimate fate here in Treblinka, which my great-grandfather’s three sisters, we imagine, had to have been murdered,” he said through tears.
“…They were just normal girls, they were just normal women who just wanted a life, they wanted to live, to thrive, but this journey that we’ve been on has recovered my memory of them and my family’s memory of them and I’m grateful for that.”
During the episode, he shared photos of himself as a toddler, wearing a Spider-Man suit. His older brother wore a Superman costume.
He joked the photo was “prophetic — for one of us.”
The next SPIDER-MAN movie, absent Garfield, is called SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. It’s set to launch in theaters on July 31 next year.
