Andrew Garfield Says He'd Return as Spider-Man Only for a 'Very, Very Odd' Project

His remarks point to a preference for a left-field, genre-driven take instead of a conventional superhero sequel.

Overview

  • On Tuesday, Garfield told The Playlist he would consider reprising Peter Parker only if the project was “very, very odd,” “completely unexpected” and an unfamiliar genre for Spider-Man.
  • As an example of the kind of project that might interest him, Garfield suggested a road-trip movie that would treat the superhero in a new, offbeat way.
  • Garfield made clear he is not part of Marvel’s next big crossover, having rejected the idea of appearing in Avengers: Doomsday when he told GQ in October that the answer was an unequivocal no.
  • Studios are moving ahead without him: Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in theaters now and Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for December 18, 2026.
  • Garfield’s stance underlines how legacy cameos like his 2021 return in No Way Home can reinvigorate interest while also pushing studios to consider riskier, genre-bending projects if they want to re-engage legacy actors.
