Andrew Garfield Says ‘Spider-Man 4’ Casting Reports Are Not True: ‘But I Know No One’s Gonna Trust Anything I Say From Now On’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Andrew Garfield recently told GQ UK that rumors claiming he has signed on to star in Marvel’s “Spider-Man 4″ are not true, although he is blatantly aware that no comic book movie fan is going to believe him.

After all, Garfield spent all of 2021 denying he’d be back as the web-slinger in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Then he popped up opposite Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire’s iterations of Spider-Man, which powered “No Way Home” to $1.9 billion at the worldwide box office. “I’m gonna disappoint you.

Yeah, no,” Garfield told the publication about “Spider-Man 4” rumors. “But I know no one’s gonna trust anything I say from now on.” When asked if he’d be interested in coming back as Spider-Man or signing on to star in another big-budget Hollywood franchise, the Oscar nominee answered: “If it felt in line with my soul and was gonna be fun.

Maybe I’m gonna have like five kids at some point, and I’m gonna need to start saving up for the school tuition or something.” Rumors have also circulated online that Garfield will be reuniting with his “Silence” director Martin Scorsese to play Jesus in a new movie, but the actor said “it’s not true to my knowledge.” Garfield would love the chance to make another Scorsese movie, but “you can’t just keep waiting for Scorsese to call, because he makes a movie every three years and a lot of the time Leo DiCaprio is in it.” Garfield debuted as Peter Parker in 2012’s “The Amazing Spider-Man,” but his tenure as the superhero was cut short when 2014’s “Amazing Spider-Man 2” underperformed at the box office.
