Andrew Garfield Makes Big Admission on 'Spider-Man' Future

As filming ramps up for a 2026 featuring the release of multiple high-profile Marvel movies, it’s hard not to speculate on each film while playing the “what if” game.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will hit theatres on July 31, 2026, and it comes with many question marks and constant theories. After fans were treated to a Spidey trio of Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, many are crossing their fingers that the multiverse can set that up for an encore.

While it remains unlikely that Garfield and Maguire will make an appearance in Brand New Day, recent comments by the former fueled the speculation.

Garfield spoke about playing Spider-Man during a recent fan event, and admitted that he'd "love" to play the role again.

“I really loved playing Spider-Man. I would love to play the character again in some capacity, but I think it would have to be very weird," Garfield said. "I think I would like to do something very strange, I would want to do something very unique, and offbeat and surprising.” 

Garfield continued to explain that he enjoys the animated Spider-verse films due to the numerous ways they can maximize the character through the multiverse.

“Kind of like the creative freedom they have with the animated ‘Spider-verse’ movies. I think they’re so great, and you can honour the character in so many ways through the multiverse,” he said. “That is the truth, and I know that I am going to be the boy who cried wolf forever.”

It sounds as though Garfield is ready and willing if the right opportunity presents itself. Whether that's already been discussed or is a total hypothetical, though, is anyone's guess.
