Garfield, however, acknowledged that fans won’t believe him as he had earlier denied rumours of starring in the Tom Holland-led 2021 movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, only to make an extended cameo alongside Tobey Maguire.

“I’m gonna disappoint you. Yeah, no. But I know no one’s going to trust anything I say from now on,” the 41-year-old actor told GQ UK in an interview. At the same time, Garfield said he would not completely dismiss the idea of featuring in a big franchise.

“If it felt in line with my soul and was going to be fun. Maybe I’m going to have like five kids at some point, and I’m gonna need to start saving up for the school tuition or something,” he said.

Garfield was first seen as Spider-Man in the 2012 movie The Amazing Spider-Man and reprised the role in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. He returned to play the role of the web-slinging superhero in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which also featured Maguire reprising his role of Spider-Man from his 2000s trilogy.

Spider-Man 4 will see Holland once again play the titular superhero alongside Zendaya as MJ. Filming is slated to begin in the summer of 2025, and it will be released in the US theatres on July 24, 2026.
