Andrew Garfield will return as Spider-Man. Given the huge success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, it should be a no-brainer. However, Andrew Garfield recently admitted he’s going to take a break from acting.
But note that the key word is “break.” It’s not “retire.” He is only 38. He isn’t old enough to cash Social Security checks; furthermore, he won’t sit back and collect Sony royalties.
Unfortunately, negative Spider-Man reports are a click-bait goldmine. Certain unnamed media outlets rush to find the latest panic attacks for Spider-Man fans. It’s been like this since late August 2019, when Sony threatened to pull Spider-Man from Marvel Studios.
I was the first scooper to debunk it. In fact, that’s how many of you found me. Read all about it.

For the record, here’s what Andrew Garfield really said to Variety:
I need to recalibrate and reconsider what I want to do next and who I want to be and just be a bit of a person for awhile. Because as you know, that is a washing machine, that awards season.
He didn’t mention closing the door on Spider-Man at all. Nothing.
Andrew Garfield added:
I need to just be a bit ordinary for a while.
The man needs chill time. It’s understandable.
Sony desperately wants Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man 3. Sources indicate Andrew Garfield is open to return. Nevertheless, until he signs a new contract, Andrew Garfield will deny it.
In fact, he probably lies more than Mephisto.
As YouTube host Syl Abdul wrote on April 14, Sony seeks Marvel Studios’ assistance for The Amazing Spider-Man 3. After all, Marvel Studios put the magic back in Sony’s Spider-Man franchise.
No, I don’t mean Doctor Strange. Rather, Marvel Studios injected Sony’s Spider-Man movies with the cinematic wizardry it lost after Sam Raimi.

On their own, Sony delivered two Spider-Man live-action classics: 2002’s Spider-Man and 2004’s Spider-Man 2. Raimi directed both. Granted, Sony won an Oscar with the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
On the other hand, Sony’s other live-action Spider-Verse films polarized critics and fans.
Indeed, Sony killed Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man trilogy prior to its completion. While the Venom movies ate cash registers with Tom Hardy’s charisma, Morbius sucked little blood.
Insiders revealed that Sony will break the piggy bank for Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider–Man 3. Especially if Marvel Studios is involved.
So Andrew Garfield will relax a bit from acting in general. And we’ll see how long that lasts. I just discussed this on Scoopcenter with Abdul.
Then, like clockwork, he’ll deny being Spider-Man again. The reality will be the opposite.
Bank on it.
