Andrew Garfield Says Returning to Spider-Man Role for ‘No Way Home’ Was “Healing”

As a die-hard Marvel fan with a soft spot for Spider-Man, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia upon hearing Andrew Garfield‘s openness to returning to the role that made him a household name. The journey of Peter Parker has been an emotional rollercoaster for both the characters on screen and the fans who’ve grown up with them, and Garfield’s experience is no exception.


Andrew Garfield is open to returning to the role of Spider-Man under a few conditions.

In a recent cover feature for Esquire, published on Wednesday, the actor from ‘We Live in Time’ shared his thoughts about unexpectedly starring in last year’s blockbuster ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, alongside original Spider-Man Tobey Maguire and current Spider-Man Tom Holland. In this film, he reprised his character as Peter Parker.

After The Amazing Spider-Man 3 got scrapped by Sony due to less-than-impressive returns on the second movie with Garfield and Emma Stone, my role in the series seemed up in the air. But when they asked me back as the web-slinger for Spider-Man: No Way Home, which delves into the multiverse, I jumped at the chance. Playing Spidey again was a therapeutic experience, especially considering all the flak I took during my time as the superhero.

Regarding his potential return as Peter Parker, Garfield stated, “Absolutely, I would consider it wholeheartedly if the opportunity presented a fitting continuation, enriched the storyline, offered a fresh, innovative concept, and something unusual, thrilling, and worth getting invested in.

The award-nominated individual expresses heartfelt affection for the web-based superhero, stating, “That character really resonates with me, and it brings happiness. If I can contribute to that happiness, then I’m overjoyed as well.

The movie “Spider-Man: No Way Home” earned nearly $2 billion since its December 2021 release, and though it’s uncertain if there will be a fourth installment, by June 2023 Tom Holland revealed to “The Hollywood Reporter” that they had discussions about a possible fourth film. According to Holland, the initial meetings centered around the question of why make another one, but they seem to have found a compelling reason for it.

It’s also been exclusively reported that Destin Daniel Cretton may be set to take up the director role for Spider-Man 4, with Tom Holland returning to star in it. Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers are expected to write the script, while Marvel’s Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal, previously of Sony, will produce the film.

As a die-hard Garfield fan, I’m thrilled about his latest comments, which drop just before the release of our beloved cat’s new movie, “We Live in Time,” co-starring Florence Pugh. It’s been two years since we saw him shine on the big screen as a leading actor, and this comeback is truly music to my ears!

Garfield shared with THR that he’s eager to dive into work with a fresh approach. He feels less constrained, less guarded. He feels more vibrant, more alert. He feels secure enough in his identity as a person and an artist. ‘I understand myself better now,’ he said, ‘which allows me to find more joy… I may still be a bit of a puzzle on set, consumed by an insatiable drive that sometimes takes over — but that won’t change, and I don’t want it to. However, within this, I can experience greater pleasure, more enjoyment, more playfulness, and more freedom.’
