Fans campaigning forThe Amazing Spider-Man 3to happen might be thrilled to know thatAndrew Garfieldis also open to revisiting his Spidey once again. As Spider-Man fans know, Garfield previously played the role of Peter Parker in a pair ofAmazing Spider-Manmovies before the character was rebooted for the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Tom Holland. Because there are still some fans out there who’ve yet to watchSpider-Man: No Way Home, be warned thatMAJOR SPOILERSfor the film are ahead.
In the new feature, Holland’s Peter Parker is so desperate to restore things back to how they were that he enlists the help of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). This splits the multiverse and allows for villains who knew Spider-Man from different worlds to come through, taking the fight to Holland’s Spidey. It also introduced Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their respective Spider-Men stepping into the MCU, making the film one of the most ambitious superhero movies ever. With Garfield back in the fray, the actor tellsVarietythat he’s opening to doing more with Spider-Man.
“I mean, yes, definitely open to something if it felt right,” Garfield explains. “Peter and Spider-Man, those characters are all about service, to the greater good and the many. He’s a working-class boy from Queens that knows struggle and loss and is deeply empathetic. I would try to borrow Peter Parker’s ethical framework in that, if there was an opportunity to step back in and tell more of that story, I would have to feel very sure and certain in myself.”
