Andrew Garfield, an American actor, is sort of correcting the record. In an interview published Thursday, the “We Live in Time” actor told GQ UK that there is no truth to the persistent rumours that he has signed on for the fourth episode of Marvel’s Tom Holland-led “Spider-Man” trilogy.
“I will let you down,” he said. “Yes, no. However, I am aware that nobody will believe anything I say going forward.
Garfield was alluding to the fact that he had spent a whole year denying that he had been in Holland’s 2021 film “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” even though he did wind up making an unexpected appearance.
Garfield played the superhero Spider-Man in the 2012 film “The Amazing Spider-Man” and the 2014 film “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” In “No Way Home,” he co-starred with Tobey Maguire, another Spidey actor who played the part before Garfield in a trilogy of films in the 2000s.
“No Way Home” became the highest-grossing movie of 2021 as a result of the enthusiastic reception that Garfield and Maguire received from the “Spider-Man” audience and beyond for their roles in the movie.
Garfield recently declared that he would “100 per cent come back” to play the same role again. In October, he told Esquire that he would return “if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before that’s unique and odd and exciting to that you can sink your teeth into.”
The actor also stated in an interview with GQ UK on Thursday that he is open to doing another big franchise even if he doesn’t reprise his role as the web-slinging hero.
“If it was going to be enjoyable and felt in harmony with my soul,” he remarked. “I might need to start saving money for school tuition or something when I have five kids, whatever that may be.”
