One of the surprises of Spider-Man: No Way Home was Andrew Garfield, who famously denied his involvement in the film at the time, even being accused of deceiving fans. Now, the acclaimed actor is facing questions about whether he will appear in Spider-Man 4. What did Garfield reveal in his latest statement? Here are the details!
Andrew Garfield: “I won’t be in the film!”
Speaking to GQ magazine, the actor confirmed he will not be in the new Spider-Man movie, saying: “I’m going to disappoint you, but no, I’m not in this film. But I know no one will believe me now.” This remark, referencing his secretive role in No Way Home, has again sparked fan speculation. However, Garfield seems more genuine this time around.
Set to release on July 24, 2026, Spider-Man 4 will continue Peter Parker’s story. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film has confirmed Tom Holland and Zendaya in the lead roles. The plot will follow Peter’s journey after ensuring the world forgets him, as he makes a sacrificial fresh start.
It remains unclear whether the film will focus on a New York-centric narrative or revisit the multiverse theme. Fans are still hopeful for another reunion of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men on the big screen. Such a storyline might be reserved for Avengers: Secret Wars, slated for release in 2027…
For now, Andrew Garfield seems to have closed the door on Spider-Man 4. But knowing how he kept his role in No Way Home under wraps, it’s hard to predict what might change. Do you think Garfield should return as Spider-Man? Share your thoughts in the comments!
