Andrew Garfield isn’t done with Spider-Man — at least not if he can swing back into the role in a way that’s anything but ordinary.
The Amazing Spider-Man actor, who captured fan admiration with his soulful portrayal of Peter Parker, recently opened up about his desire to revisit the iconic character. However, Garfield made it clear: if he’s going to don the suit again, he wants the experience to be “very weird, very unique, and offbeat.” No retreads, no safe storytelling — just something bold, surprising, and totally unexpected.
“I would love to play the character again in some capacity,” Garfield shared in a recent interview. “But I think it would have to be very weird. I think I would like to do something very strange. I would want to do something very unique, and offbeat and surprising.” His comments reignite hope among fans who felt his Spider-Man arc was unfairly cut short after only two solo films, despite critical praise for his emotional depth and charisma.
Garfield’s cameo alongside Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021 rekindled fan enthusiasm, with many arguing that he deserved another shot to explore his version of Peter Parker’s journey. Although Sony and Marvel Studios have not confirmed any official plans, persistent rumors suggest that both Garfield’s and Maguire’s Spider-Men could return in future multiverse-driven projects.
The timing couldn’t be better: the Marvel Cinematic Universe is deep into its Multiverse Saga, opening endless possibilities for alternate versions of beloved characters. With Marvel embracing variant storytelling — from Loki to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — a “weird” and “offbeat” Spider-Man led by Garfield could fit perfectly into the chaotic, imaginative landscape Marvel is now cultivating.
Whether through a standalone film, a spinoff, or another multiversal team-up, fans are eagerly watching for any sign that Garfield might swing back onto the big screen — this time, on his own wonderfully strange terms.
