Andrew Garfield confirms he would return for Amazing Spider-Man film

Charlie Herbert

Big spoiler warning, but you’ve clicked on this article surely knowing that, right?

Still here? Right, fine, we’re assuming by this point you have either seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, or  you haven’t and just want to know what happens in it.

The cat is out the bag – Andrew Garfield is in No Way Home.

Despite his best efforts to convince us otherwise, he and Tobey Maguire do turn up to help out Tom Holland and co defeat a whole host of villains from the various Spider-Man universes.

And fans were so impressed by their returns that they are now calling for Garfield to get another of his own individual Spidey films.

Garfield’s solo run as Peter Parker came to an end in 2014 with the final Amazing Spider-Man film, and he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of coming back in his own stand-alone installment.

But only if “it felt right.”

Speaking to Variety, the actor said: “I’m just really, really grateful that I got to tie up some loose ends for the Peter that I was playing.

“I love that character and I’m grateful that I got to work with these incredible actors, this incredible director, and Marvel in conjunction with Sony. It was joyful, and a feeling of closure for me.

When asked if he’d be up for returning again, Garfield said: “I mean, yes, definitely open to something if it felt right. Peter and Spider-Man, those characters are all about service, to the greater good and the many.

“He’s a working-class boy from Queens that knows struggle and loss and is deeply empathetic. I would try to borrow Peter Parker’s ethical framework in that, if there was an opportunity to step back in and tell more of that story, I would have to feel very sure and certain in myself.”

There don’t appear to be any plans at the moment to make an Amazing Spider-Man 3, and the critical reaction to both of Garfield’s first two films in the franchise was mixed.

But with fans loving his return so much, it would be foolish to rule out the possibility that he may make another comeback as our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
