In 2012, Andrew Garfield became the web-slinger in The Amazing Spider-Man. He was the successor to Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man. After its sequel, there was potential for Garfield to return as the web-slinger in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 with possibly being released sometime in 2016. Over on Cinema Blend, director Marc Webb said that the third movie would’ve had Spider-Man battling the Sinister Six. Sadly, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 never lifted off. And then there came Tom Holland the successor to Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man.

But Andrew Garfield surprised the audience in the latest Spider-Man movie Spider-Man: No Way Home. Garfield teamed up with Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man and Tom Holland’s to battle against popular villains from the previous films.

Garfield recently gave an interview with Variety on his return as Spider-Man. Garfield told Variety. “I wasn’t expecting to ever have a conversation again about potentially playing Peter Parker. I felt very excited to just to be a fan again. But I got this call from Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige and Jon Watts with this idea. It was immediately undeniable. It sounded incredibly fun, incredibly spiritual-trippy, and thematically interesting. On a base level, as a Spider-Man fan, just the idea of seeing three Spider-Man in the same frame was enough.”
