Andrew Garfield Denies ‘Spider-Man 4’ Casting Reports

Although Spider-Man is preparing for another MCU outing, Andrew Garfield is staying tight-lipped about whether he’ll return for the next movie.

The 2x Oscar nominee denied recent reports that he’s reprise his version of Peter Parker for the upcoming fourth installment after joining Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), which was a highly-anticipated cameo at the time.

“I’m gonna disappoint you,” Garfield told GQ UK of the rumored casting. “Yeah, no. But I know no one’s gonna trust anything I say from now on.”

The interview comes after he had to outright deny his return to the Spidey suit for No Way Home, which brought all three live-action portrayals together through Dr. Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) spell-gone-wrong that sent them traveling across the multiverse to defeat some familiar baddies.

Garfield, who previously starred in Sony‘s The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its 2014 sequel, has expressed interest in playing the role once again after he was “left dangling” on getting his own third movie.

“For sure, I would 100 percent come back if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before that’s unique and odd and exciting and that you can sink your teeth into,” he told Esquire in October. “I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return.”

In October, Sony added the Holland-led untitled fourth Spider-Man to the release calendar for July 24, 2026, with Destin Daniel Cretton directing. Meanwhile, Holland has teased that the sequel will be “super exciting.”

“Next summer, we start shooting,” he said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Everything’s good to go. We’re nearly there.”

Holland also recalled how he had to stay silent during his previous appearance about Garfield and Maguire’s appearances in No Way Home. “I’d just like to add, though, that I did say, ‘At the moment.’ So I didn’t technically lie. Albeit I had just come from set with Toby and Andrew,” he told Fallon.
