Andrew Garfield denies Spider-Man 4 rumors and fuels Spider-Man 4 rumors
I don’t blame you The great Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield for lying through his teeth for two years to maintain the secrecy of his role in the film Spider-Man: No way homebut that level of deception follows a man! To quote Aesop’s finger-wagging moral from “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “liars are not believed even when they tell the truth.”
In a new interview with GQ UK to promote his new romantic drama We live in timethe subject of Spider Man 4 Rumors surface, of course, and he is quick to deny them. “I’m going to disappoint you,” he says. “Yes, no.”
Came in a few months ago another old men’s magazine in which he was photographed wearing a different set of fuzzy sweaters, Garfield left open the possibility of returning as Spider-Man. The star admitted his participation in No way home “was really healing” and that he would “100 percent come back” if there was a great concept for a new movie “or something that hasn’t been done before that is unique and strange and exciting and that you can sink your teeth into (. ..) I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I am happy.”
But in January 2025, Garfield is convinced nothing is in the works. There’s no chance of him coming back at this point, despite Sony really needing Spider-Man movies to work. He also knows that no one will ever fully believe him about anything he says about Spider-Man. Just now check out Reddit.
“I know from now on no one will trust anything I say,” he says in the GQ UK interview, fully aware of the paper trail of deception he has left across the internet.
After he finally got around to spilling the beans No way homeGarfield enjoyed the experience of keeping the secret and said it “felt amazing” to constantly lie in interviews, a rush that was akin to planning a surprise birthday party. It’s unclear how he feels now, because he’s created a place where he will forever and ever be asked about Spider-Man and never taken at his word. It can’t be that bad if your day job requires you to hang out with Florence Pugh all day, but it might feel a little annoying.
I hold no grudge against Andrew Garfield for his lies. His time actually playing Spider-Man earned him a lifetime of goodwill. And it made good use of his prankster sensibilities — let’s never forget the ultimate Spider-Man lie, when he showed up in costume for his own San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel and asked a question. Lie all you want, Andrew Garfield, you deserve it.
(Even when he’s inside The amazing Spider-Man 3that’s technically not appear in Spider Man 4…)
