He’s said it once, he’ll say it again, but since he lied so hard about being in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Andrew Garfield will probably be stuck denying his appearance in a Spider-Man movie for the rest of his life. We see flashes of Andrew Garfield at 60, still fielding questions about whether he’s going to cameo in the next Spider-Man movie. But, yes, it has happened yet again. Andrew Garfield was recently asked by GQ whether he would appear in Spider-Man 4, and yes, he denied the rumors of his appearance in the next Spider-Man movie. Andrew Garfield has resumed his favorite position—according to him, he will NOT appear in Spider-Man 4. But do we believe him? Never—and that’s why we’re part of the problem.
Andrew Garfield Denies Spider-Man 4 Appearance (Once Again)
“No, he hasn’t already signed up for Spider-Man 4, as many reports have already suggested.” The publication shares, noting that on the topic of Spider-Man 4 and his presence in it, Garfield replied, “I’m gonna disappoint you. Yeah, no.” He said, “But I know no one’s gonna trust anything I say from now on,” I mean, he did say, “Yeah,” and then “No.”
In September of 2024, Andrew Garfield offered similar sentiments as he denied his Spider-Man 4 involvement to IndieWire. There, he shut down rumors of his appearance in Spider-Man 4 by noting, “The internet is a big place. I think there’s a lot of people who will just say anything to get clicks. So you might have been duped, I’m afraid.”
That Said, Andrew Garfield Really Enjoyed Lying About Being in Spider-Man: No Way Home
But alas, no one will ever believe Garfield is not in a Spider-Man movie again, after the delight he took in his Spider-Man: No Way Home lie spree. In January 2022, Garfield unburdened to Ellen DeGeneres and shared, “I lied to people for a good two years, and I lied to the internet for two years, and it felt great,” Garfield said. “My dad, my brother, and my mother … just kind of us. It was fun to keep it a secret.” He even lied to his The Amazing Spider-Man co-star Emma Stone about his MCU Spider-Man appearance, “Emma kept on texting me,” he revealed to the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast. “She was like, ‘Are you in this new Spider-Man film?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ I kept it going, even with her.”
Garfield recently stated that he’s working very hard to get people to ask him fewer questions about Spider-Man. But he also noted that he would “100% come back to the franchise…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.” Speaking of a Spider-Man 4 or other Spider-Man return, Garfield concluded, “I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return.”
Will We See Andrew Garfield in Another Spidey Film?
In all, more than most, we receive mixed messages from this actor when it comes to Spider-Man. Does he want to move on? Does he want to continue? And is he simply gleefully lying again. We bet we hear another dozen denials from Andrew Garfield before Spider-Man 4 even becomes a truly realized movie. But hey, what would we truly have to rely on in life if we didn’t have Andrew Garfield saying he’s not in the next Spider-Man film like clockwork?
