Andrew Garfield Open to Spider-Man Return if Project Feels Culturally Significant and Unique
  • Andrew Garfield has expressed a willingness to return as Spider-Man, provided the project feels culturally significant and offers a unique concept.

  • His return to the role in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' was a healing experience for Garfield, who faced scrutiny during his initial tenure.

  • 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' was a massive commercial success, grossing nearly $2 billion and featuring Garfield alongside Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland.

  • Garfield acknowledged that playing Spider-Man will likely be a significant part of his legacy, stating it will be 'the top line of my obituary.'

  • Garfield first portrayed Peter Parker in 2012's 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and its sequel, but the franchise ended after the second film underperformed.

  • The sequel, 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' received poor box office performance and critical reviews, leading to the cancellation of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3.'

  • In 2015, a partnership between Marvel Studios and Sony allowed Spider-Man to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, resulting in Garfield's franchise being discontinued.

  • Garfield emphasized his deep affection for the Spider-Man character, stating that it brings him joy and has been a healing experience.

  • After the cancellation of a fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tobey Maguire, Sony rebooted the series with Garfield, which grossed $758 million on a $200 million budget.

  • Currently, there are no plans for Garfield to star in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3,' but he remains open to future opportunities.

  • Garfield's next project is the A24 romance drama 'We Live in Time,' set for a limited theatrical release starting October 11.

  • Destin Daniel Cretton is reportedly in talks to direct 'Spider-Man 4,' with Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers set to write the script.
