Spider-Man: Andrew Garfield Explains Why He’s Open to Peter Parker Return

Andrew Garfield returned to the role of Spider-Man in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, and if it was up to him, the actor would be more than willing to come back again.

Speaking to Esquire as part of a recent cover story, Garfield was asked about the possibility of returning to the iconic Spider-Man suit. The fan-favorite actor said he would “100%” be willing to come back and explained why he loves Spider-Man so much.

What did Andrew Garfield say about Spider-Man?

“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.

As for Garfield’s next projects, the actor is set to star in 2024’s We Live in Time alongside Florence Pugh, which releases on January 1, 2025. Next up for Garfield are roles in Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt and a role in the British family film The Magic Faraway Tree.
