Andrew Garfield Addresses SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Rumors Saying "I Did Not Get a Call"
Well, it looks like there may not be any truth to the reports that Andrew Garfield is reprising his role as Spider-Man in Marvel’s upcoming film Spider-Man: No Way Home. During a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Garfield was asked about the rumors and he completely shoots them down. He says that he’s never even gotten a call from anyone to appear in the movie. He thinks the whole thing is just crazy, and says:
"There isn't anything to ruin bro! I have to just quickly cut you off. There's nothing to ruin. Like it's so crazy too. Dude, it's fucking hilarious to me because it's like... I do have this Twitter account and I see like how often Spider-Man is trending and it's people freaking out about a thing and I'm just like...guys, guys guys guys like...I wish I could just be able to speak to everyone and say like, I recommend that you chill. Like listen, I can't speak for anything else but for myself. They might be doing something, but I ain't got a call."
"You know what it feels like though. Because this hasn't come up yet in an interview. Do you ever play the game Werewolf? or Mafia? You know that game, and I think it's something similar, where you convincing everyone that you're not in the Mafia? Like I feel like I'm in a game of fucking Werewolf or Mafia where I'm not the Werewolf. I promise you I'm not the Werewolf, and everyone's like 'You're the werewolf! You're the fucking werewolf, look at him he's doing the thing!"
Garfield is then just asked to clarify that he has not received a call, and Garfield responds, "I feel like, I feel like, I just said that. I did not get a call. Listen, I would've gotten a call by now, that's what I'm saying. Like I don't want to rule anything out. Maybe they want to call me. Maybe they're going to call me and say like 'hey, people want this.' Maybe they're doing market research.”
So, if Garfield doesn’t show up in the film, then there’s a chance that Tobey Maguire won’t either. There have also been reports of Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone returning, but that’s looking unlikely as well. Regardless, we do know that Benedict Cumberbatch will play Doctor Strange in the film, Alfred Molina is back as Doctor Octopus, and Jamie Foxx is back as Electro.
Spider-Man 3 is being directed by Jon Watts and it’s currently set to be released on December 17th, 2021.
