Andrew Garfield<\/a> has responded to speculation about a potential return to the world of Marvel in the forthcoming Spider-Man sequel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actor, 42, played Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), later reprising the role alongside Tom Holland\u2019s iteration of the character in the 2021 crossover movie Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It has been speculated that Garfield could again team up with Holland in the new film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set to hit cinemas in July.<\/p>\n

\"\"(Marvel Studios)<\/p>\n

Appearing on Capital FM\u2019s Breakfast Show this week, Garfield was presented with a still from the Brand New Day trailer, in which Holland\u2019s Spider-Man is seen jumping at a group of enemies. <\/p>\n

Fans had speculated that the large empty space under Holland\u2019s character would, in the final film, be filled with other incarnations of the character. (In the past, Marvel Studios has been known to edit shots in trailers to conceal the inclusion of certain surprise characters.)<\/p>\n

Garfield described the suggestion as a \u201cbit of a reach, to be honest\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike, what do you mean there’s room for other characters? It’s literally just space underneath Spider-Man,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s room for more characters in every frame of the film, probably.\u201d<\/p>\n

When pressed on the subject, Garfield continued to downplay the suggestion \u2013 while noting his own refusal to deny that he would feature in the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is absolutely ludicrous, conspiracy-theory-level attempt at investigative journalism,\u201d Garfield joked, adding: \u201cYou notice that I didn’t say I’m not in it, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the involvement of Garfield \u2013 and original Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire \u2013 is yet to be confirmed, the trailer for Brand New Day gave fans a glimpse at many of the characters returning to the franchise.<\/p>\n

This includes Zendaya\u2019s \u201cMJ\u201d Jones-Watson, and Ned Leeds, played by Jacob Batalon. The film will follow on from the events of No Way Home, in which everyone in the world had Peter Parker\u2019s secret identity wiped from memory.<\/p>\n

Mark Ruffalo will appear as his long-running Marvel character Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, while Jon Bernthal will play Frank Castle (aka Punisher), a character he previously played on his own TV series.<\/p>\n

Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) is also set to appear in the film, playing a character rumoured to be X-Men\u2019s Jean Grey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367553,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-367552","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367552\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
