Andrew Garfield Teases Potential Return for ‘Spider-Man 4’ with New Hints

Andrew Garfield starred as Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). While the franchise didn’t achieve massive popularity during his tenure, he performed well in the role, which delighted fans when he appeared alongside Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire in No Way Home.

With Spider-Man 4 on the horizon and strong rumors suggesting a multiversal storyline, fans are buzzing with speculation about Garfield potentially returning to reprise his iconic role.

A few weeks ago, Garfield dismissed the rumors, urging fans not to believe everything they read online. However, given his history of misleading statements about his Spider-Man role, it’s safe to say that not many took him at his word.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor appeared to drop additional hints about his potential appearance in the upcoming Spider-Man film.

Garfield discussed his latest project, We Live in Time, and confirmed his return to acting after an extended hiatus.

I feel looser, I feel less precious, I feel more joyful.

Garfield also shared a list of names he would love to collaborate with in the future, which includes several notable MCU actors:

I got to work with Zendaya [in Spider-Man: No Way Home], who is just wonderful. I would love to work with her again. I want to work with my friends. I’ve never worked with Eddie Redmayne or Charlie Cox or Tom Sturridge. Cillian [Murphy].

I did a screen test with Cillian once and Ben Whishaw, which was very exciting. There are certain people in the younger generation that I find really exciting as well. Obviously, Timothee Chalamet is just incredible. And Austin Butler is great.

I’d love to work again with my friend Laura Dern. It’s really, really endless. I was so happy to get to work briefly with Ayo [Edebiri in After the Hunt], who I love, and got to do some real work with Julia [Roberts], which was a heavenly thing.

Zendaya is expected to reprise her role as MJ in the upcoming Spider-Man movie, though recent reports indicate that she is currently renegotiating her contract and is unwilling to accept just a cameo.

Charlie Cox, who has previously appeared in the MCU, is also set to return in a larger capacity with the upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again. Cox’s Daredevil was rumored to be one of the characters making an appearance in Spider-Man 4, which was initially planned as a street-level story featuring Kingpin going up against Holland’s Peter Parker.

Regardless, many fans are excited about the prospect of Garfield returning to the role, and we can only hope it comes to pass. Spider-Man 4 will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and is reportedly set to begin filming in 2025.
