Andrew Garfield spent a long time actively denying that he was involved in Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, as millions of viewers found out, he was lying and did return as Spider-Man in the film. Now, Garfield has finally broken his silence and spoken about his return as the character in No Way Home.

Garfield returned to this character who he last played in Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014. Speaking with Variety, Garfield said that he never expected to “have a conversation again about potentially playing Peter Parker,” but that Marvel head Kevin Feige and Sony producer Amy Pascal convinced him to return.

Garfield also mentioned that he was incredibly excited to work with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland. In fact, an emotional line delivered in the climax of the movie was actually improvised and was simply an expression of how Garfield felt while working with the other two Spider-Man actors.

During the interview, Garfield also answered an incredibly important question that is on fans’ minds: Will he return as Spider-Man in the future?

Well, there you go, Garfield Spider-Man fans. It looks like No Way Home may not be the last we see of this character. The full interview can be read over at Variety now. Garfield had a huge 2021 overall with other noteworthy performances in The Eyes of Tammy Faye and Tick, Tick…Boom. At least now, Garfield can be relieved that he no longer has to deny his involvement in the latest Spider-Man film.
