Nearly ten years after his role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Andrew Garfield has not ruled out reprising his role as Peter Parker, sparking renewed interest in his potential Spider-Man return. Following his emotional reunion with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Garfield shared his thoughts recently, offering perhaps the most encouraging signals yet about future appearances.
Garfield’s Interest Lies in the Spider-Verse Franchise
In a recent interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz, Andrew Garfield was asked about possible superhero crossovers involving his Spider-Man. Instead of pointing toward heavily discussed options like Avengers: Secret Wars, Garfield expressed enthusiasm for Sony’s Spider-Verse series. This franchise, known for its vibrant and inventive storytelling, aligns with his excitement for collaboration within the multiverse context.
“I really love the Spider-Verse movies. I love [Phil Lord] and [Christopher Miller]. Just putting that out there.”

This reveals Garfield’s appreciation for the creative minds behind the Spider-Verse films and hints at his desire to be part of that evolving story. Sony’s Spider-Verse storyline concludes with Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, due in theaters on June 18, 2027. This release is scheduled just months before Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars arrives, an event Garfield seems less interested in joining.
Rejecting the Idea of Avengers: Doomsday Involvement
While Garfield admires the Spider-Verse concept, he firmly dismissed rumors linking him to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. In a blunt statement during a discussion with GQ, Garfield made it clear there will be no involvement in that project.
“No, unequivocally f***ing no.”

Despite his rejection of Avengers: Doomsday, Garfield’s comments leave room for interpretation regarding other Marvel projects, as he remains interested in selective collaborations across the superhero landscape.
Admiration for Fellow Marvel Stars and Potential Team-Ups
Garfield also expressed admiration for actor Tom Hardy, praising his portrayal of Venom and calling it “super fun.” Recognizing Hardy’s talent, Garfield described him as “a really formidable actor,” suggesting an openness to working alongside him at some point.
“Tom Hardy is obviously a really formidable actor, and what he’s done with Venom is super fun.”

Additionally, Garfield mentioned Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine as part of his ideal crossover dream, highlighting his appreciation for iconic Marvel characters beyond Spider-Man. However, despite these interests, he remains ambiguous about official appearances, keeping fans guessing about his next moves.
