Andrew Garfield confirms he won't appear in Spider-Man 4

IndieWirehad the chance to attend the premiere of Andrew Garfield's new movie titledWe Live in a Time,so they asked him about his involvement inSpider-Man 4. However, the English actor was quick to dismiss his appearance in the wall-crawler's next stand-alone adventure:

"I mean, like the internet is a big place. I think there is a lot of people who will just say anything to get clicks. So you might have been duped, I’m afraid."

This isn't the first time Andrew has been asked if he'd get to wear the iconic red and blue suit on the big screen after the end ofThe Amazing Spider-Mansaga. He was famously known for attempting to mislead audiences into believing he wouldn't be inSpider-Man: No Way Homebefore the movie's release, but multiple leaks indicated otherwise. However, this time things aren't as certain.

To this date,Spider-Man 4hasn't been officially revealed by Sony, and fans are waiting to learn about a release date. While many rumors have flown left and right, they often tend to contradict themselves. Some claimSpider-Man 4will be astreet-leveland grounded movie while others report it will heavily involve themultiverse. Perhaps Sony and Marvel themselves aren't quite so sure in which direction to take the upcoming project and how to tie it into a wider MCU. With that in mind, it seems Andrew's appearance could really be out of the picture.

Everything's not grim, however, as there's a chance he could make acomebackinAvengers: Secret Wars; Marvel's most ambitious crossover. But until then, it's best to believe Andrew Garfield himself and not to get our hopes too high for aSpider-Man 4appearance. In the best of cases, we get pleasantly surprised.

Chances are the English actor will get asked more about Spider-Man as he promotes his upcoming movieWe Live in a Time, which stars yet another Marvel hero: Florence Pugh. Earlypreviewsare saying the two have amazing chemistry on-screen, and that they'll make you shed a tear or two along the way (which isn't surprising given how heartbreaking thetrailerseems). Director Luca Guadagnino reunites with Garfield for the first time in nearly 20 years to tell a story about unconditional love through difficult times. Fortunately, it seems audiences will be in for a great rollercoaster of a ride once it releases.

We Live In a Timepremieres on January 1, 2025.
