After previously misleading fans over his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/a>, Andrew Garfield has accepted that he’ll likely be answering questions over another possible return as Peter Parker for the rest of his life. <\/p>\n

Garfield donned Spidey’s spandex once more for Marvel’s fan-favorite 2021 film, after appearing in two Amazing Spider-Man movies of his own. Ahead of time, however, his return was kept a closely-guarded secret \u2014 and something Garfield intentionally lied about in interviews.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this tactic has now somewhat backfired \u2014 with Garfield forced to state that he is not returning for Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> and Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> and that he really isn’t lying this time around. (Rumors suggest Garfield is actually telling the truth here, despite fan hopes to the contrary.)<\/p>\n

Last year, as numerous other Marvel stars past and present gathered in the UK to film Avengers: Doomsday, Garfield was asked repeatedly whether he’d be back as Spidey in the movie. His response to the question seemed pretty definitive<\/a>: “No, unequivocally f***ing no.”<\/p>\n

Indeed, Garfield has said he’s accepted that he’ll be asked about returning as Spider-Man yet again likely “for the rest of my life” no matter the circumstances \u2014 even in decades to come, when he’s “90.”<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a question that’s probably going to follow me for the rest of my life, ‘Are you secretly in the new Spider-Man film?'” Garfield said during an appearance on Heart<\/a> radio. “Until I’m 90 years old, they’re going to be asking me, ‘Are you in the new Spider-Man Volume 512? I’ll be like, ‘I\u2019m literally weeing into a colostomy bag, and I don’t have any…’<\/p>\n

“But also,” Garfield concluded, “people can ask me whatever they want; my life is very blessed.”<\/p>\n

So, will Garfield ever actually return as Peter Parker once again? If he was going to, 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars<\/a> feels like the right moment, as it is the conclusion to the MCU’s Multiverse Saga. The movie’s climactic events could even provide Garfield a good place to make clear that, this time, it really is the end. <\/p>\n

“See, what it is, is this a tell? Or what is it? You’ll find out!” Garfield previously told MTV<\/a> when asked about his Secret Wars involvement. “Whatever response I’m having, is it exasperation? Is it? I don’t know. You’ll find out.”<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day launches in theaters on July 31, while Avengers: Doomsday will follow on December 18. Avengers: Secret Wars (and potentially also Garfield) will then arrive a year later, on December 17, 2027.<\/p>\n
