Andrew Garfield has addressed an online conspiracy theory that he will feature in Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>. After the film’s first trailer<\/a> dropped, some fans were convinced that a scene had been edited to remove some characters, a trick Marvel has employed before. <\/p>\n

The scene in question sees Spider-Man face off with some ninjas but, upon closer inspection, you can see that the ninjas are below Spidey’s eye-level, meaning there’s room for some other characters in the shot below Tom Holland. <\/p>\n

Fans have speculated that the missing characters could be Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk or Sadie Sink’s character, who fans believe is Jean Grey. <\/p>\n

However other fans believe the empty space could be filled by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, as their versions of Spider-Man. <\/p>\n

Though the theory may seem far-fetched, back in 2021, Marvel removed<\/a> Garfield and Maguire from the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home, so as not to spoil the surprise of their appearance. <\/p>\n

Appearing on Capital FM’s Breakfast Show<\/a>, Garfield was asked about the theory and responded: “This feels like a reach to be honest. <\/p>\n

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

The actor added: “There’s room for more characters in every frame of the film probably.”<\/p>\n

When Garfield was pressed further he called the questions an “absolutely ludicrous, conspiracy-theory-level attempt at investigative journalism”, before cheekily adding: “You noticed that I didn’t say I’m not in it though.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sadie Sink previously addressed the rumours<\/a> that her character is the MCU’s Jean Grey.<\/p>\n

The actor told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>: “[The rumours were] happening before I even knew that I would be working on this project. I was like, ‘Wait! What are people talking about?'”<\/p>\n

Speaking about the similarities in hair colour between her and Grey, she added: “A lot of people forget that hair colour can change, but, yeah, I understand all of the theories.<\/p>\n

“People will just have to wait and see. I’m excited for all of it to maybe be put to rest,” she added.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will release on 31 July 2026. Spider-Man: No Way Home is available to buy now on Prime Video<\/a>, iTunes<\/a> and other digital retailers.<\/p>\n
