It’s the question every Spider-Man fan has been asking since No Way Home swung into theaters: Will Andrew Garfield return as Spider-Man? For years, it seemed impossible—but lately, all signs are pointing to something exciting.
Whether you grew up watching The Amazing Spider-Man or rediscovered your love for Garfield’s version after his emotional return in No Way Home, there’s no denying that fans are hungry for more. And with the multiverse wide open, The Amazing Spider-Man 4 feels more possible now than ever before.
So what’s really going on? Is it happening? Let’s dive into what we know—and why hope is higher than ever.
Why Garfield’s Spider-Man Still Matters
When The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ended back in 2014, a lot of fans were left disappointed—not necessarily because of the film itself, but because it felt unfinished. There were plans for a third and even a fourth movie, but those were quietly shelved when Sony pivoted to working with Marvel Studios and introduced Tom Holland’s Spider-Man instead.
But here’s the thing: Andrew Garfield never stopped being Spider-Man in the hearts of fans. His portrayal was emotional, sincere, and painfully human. When he made his surprise return in No Way Home, it wasn’t just nostalgia—it was a moment of redemption.
His brief time on-screen reminded everyone just how much potential his version of Peter Parker still had. And suddenly, fans wanted more.
The Internet Spoke—and Sony Listened
After No Way Home, social media went wild. Hashtags like #MakeTASM3 and #BringBackAndrewGarfield took over Twitter, TikTok, Reddit—you name it. Fans were making trailers, posters, and even writing full scripts. It became clear: this wasn’t just a passing trend. The demand for Garfield’s return was loud, passionate, and very real.
And interestingly, Sony seems to have taken notice. While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, insiders have hinted that conversations are happening behind the scenes. Some reports even suggest that The Amazing Spider-Man 4 is “on the table”—especially as Sony continues to expand its own Spider-Man Universe with characters like Venom and Morbius.
What Could The Story Be?
If Garfield does come back, what kind of story could we expect? That’s where things get really interesting.
In No Way Home, his Peter confessed that after Gwen’s death, he became darker… even stopped pulling his punches. That line alone sparked a wave of fan theories about a grittier, more emotionally complex Spider-Man. Could TASM4 explore what happens when a hero loses his way—and fights to find it again?
There’s also been talk of connecting Garfield’s Spider-Man to the Venom universe, or giving him a face-off with Kraven the Hunter or Black Cat. The possibilities are wide open now, especially with the multiverse in full swing.
What’s Andrew Saying About It All?
Andrew Garfield has been surprisingly open about returning—but only if the story is right. In interviews, he’s said he loved playing the character and felt grateful to be part of No Way Home. More importantly, he said he’s open to putting the suit back on again… if the movie has something meaningful to say.
And honestly? That’s all we needed to hear.
So, Is It Happening?
Right now, The Amazing Spider-Man 4 isn’t officially in production. But the momentum is real. Between fan demand, studio interest, and Garfield’s own enthusiasm, the chances feel higher than they’ve been in years.
It’s not a matter of if anymore. It’s more a question of when—and how.
Final Thoughts
Seeing Andrew Garfield back in the Spider-Man suit reminded us of something important: his story wasn’t finished. He brought heart, pain, humor, and vulnerability to Peter Parker in a way that still resonates today.
So, is he finally back? We don’t have the official announcement—yet. But if the last few years have shown us anything, it’s that fans can make the impossible happen.
And if The Amazing Spider-Man 4 does become real, you can bet we’ll be front row on opening night.
