Key Takeaways

As a long-time Marvel fan who’s witnessed the web-slinging adventures of three different Spider-Men, I must say I’m thrilled about the potential return of Andrew Garfield to our screens. His emotional depth and unique portrayal of Peter Parker have always left an indelible mark on me.

It’s said that one of the previous actors from the Spider-Man series may be reprising his role. Sony appears to be considering him for additional Marvel movies beyond Spider-Man 4.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), different performers have donned the Spider-Man suit. The first trilogy, directed by Sam Raimi, saw Tobey Maguire take on the role in films such as “Spider-Man” (2002), “Spider-Man 2” (2004), and “Spider-Man 3” (2007). Andrew Garfield also starred as the web-slinging hero in Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” (2012) and its sequel, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” (2014), displaying a more emotional side to Peter Parker. Most recently, Tom Holland has played the part of Spider-Man in several MCU productions, debuting in “Captain America: Civil War” (2016) and going on to star in three solo films: “Spider-Man Homecoming” (2017), “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019), and the latest film, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021). In “No Way Home”, Maguire and Garfield reprised their roles alongside Holland. There are whispers that they may collaborate once more in a future film entitled “Spider-Man 4”. However, it has been suggested that Marvel and Sony have substantial plans for one of the three actors.

According to the movie insider @MyTimeToShineH, it’s suggested that Andrew Garfield could play a significant part in the upcoming film “Avengers: Secret Wars.” It’s been reported that Sony desires Garfield for additional projects. This news has fueled speculation about the potential return of Garfield’s Spider-Man role in a third movie, The Amazing Spider-Man 3. However, due to several factors such as poor performance of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and financial strain on Sony, the original film was canceled. This decision affected Sony’s ambitious plans for multiple films and spin-offs, including The Amazing Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man 4, The Sinister Six, and Venom.

If the report is accurate, Garfield’s openness to reprising his superhero role could make it possible. In an interview with Esquire, Garfield shared that his return to the franchise in ‘No Way Home’ was a healing experience as his previous involvement was left unresolved after the cancellation of his third solo movie. He also hinted at a potential comeback when asked about returning to the MCU, expressing enthusiasm under the right circumstances, such as if the opportunity is culturally enriching, presents an innovative concept, and offers something unique and exhilarating. Garfield added that he cherishes the character and finds joy in playing him, especially if his performance brings happiness to others.

It’s clear that Andrew Garfield is a skilled actor, and fans continue to appreciate him in his superhero attire, even though his era ended unexpectedly. In fact, there are still many advocating for a third installment of “The Amazing Spider-Man.” There were whispers of tension between Garfield and Sony. In 2014, Garfield was expected to appear at a significant event in Rio de Janeiro to unveil his next Spider-Man film, but he was unable to attend due to an alleged illness. This reportedly upset Sony executives, leading them to shift away from that version. In 2015, Sony and Marvel Studios reached a deal that allowed Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Marvel having creative control over the character’s depiction while Sony retained the film rights. This agreement brought Tom Holland onto the scene as the new Spider-Man. Fans were thrilled to see Holland, Maguire, and Garfield together in “Spider-Man 3,” and the positive response suggested that the previous Spider-Man actors might still have a place in the franchise.

Indeed, it seems that Garfield is poised for success in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the actor expressing enthusiasm about the part, provided a compelling narrative and script, we can expect to see more of him gracing our screens in future Marvel films, including “Avengers: Secret Wars”.
