Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Actor Talks About Returning to Role and Latest Projects

Andrew Garfield took on the role of a Marvel superhero in the 'Amazing Spider-Man' series from 2012 to 2014. He reprised his character in the 2021 film 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', where all actors playing the web-slinging hero gathered on-screen. Speaking to Esquire, he revealed that returning to the role of Spider-Man was 'healing' for him. He expressed his willingness to don the superhero costume again with a few conditions. 'If [the new film] adds something to culture, if it's backed by a great idea or something that hasn't been done before, something unique, exciting [...]. If it brings me joy, then I'll gladly return,' he admitted. Currently, work is underway on the fourth film in the Spider-Man series with Tom Holland in the lead role, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Rumors suggest that Garfield and Tobey Maguire might make a comeback in it, the actors who played the superhero in the past. However, in September 2024 during the Toronto festival, the two-time Oscar-nominated actor downplayed the excitement. 'The internet is a big place. I think there are plenty of people out there who would say anything for clicks. I'm sorry, but I think one of you was joking,' Garfield said at that time.
