Andrew Garfield is setting the record straight… sort of.
The “We Live in Time” actor recently clarified some ongoing speculation that he’s signed on for the fourth installment of Marvel’s Tom Holland-led “Spider-Man” franchise, telling GQ UK in an interview published Thursday that it’s simply not true.
Garfield says he is going to disappoint people, but he knows no one is going to trust anything he says from now on.
He was referring to the fact that he spent an entire year denying his involvement in Holland’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” movie in 2021, wherein he did indeed end up making a surprise cameo.
In “No Way Home,” Garfield appeared as his iteration of the superhero Spider-Man – who he played in 2012’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” and 2014’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” – alongside another fellow Spidey actor, Tobey Maguire, who proceeded Garfield in the role in a trilogy of movies in the aughts.
Garfield’s and Maguire’s appearances in the 2021 MCU film were met with much enthusiasm from the “Spider-Man” fandom and beyond, making “No Way Home” the top-grossing film of that year.
