Andrew Garfield’s Evasive Response Fuels Speculation
Fans of the MCU have been eagerly anticipating news about Avengers: Secret Wars. Once again, Andrew Garfield gave his characteristically evasive response. Known for keeping surprises under wraps, Garfield’s recent interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz offered hints, but he still didn’t reveal too much. Specifically, when asked about appearing in the upcoming film, Garfield said:
“You’ll find out! Whatever response I’m having, is it exasperation? Is it? I don’t know. You’ll find out.”
This mirrors his previous approach before Spider-Man: No Way Home, including his memorable pre-release denial:
“I’m not the Werewolf”
This statement preceded one of Marvel’s biggest surprises. As a result, Garfield clearly continues to enjoy keeping fans guessing, and in doing so, he maintains excitement and speculation about his future in the MCU. Furthermore, fans have noted that his playful evasiveness adds to the anticipation, particularly because Marvel often thrives on secrecy to maximize surprise reveals. Therefore, it seems that his comments indicate he may still have a major role in shaping the Spider-Man multiverse storyline.
Moreover, Garfield’s approach suggests he is comfortable balancing secrecy with engagement, keeping both casual viewers and hardcore MCU fans intrigued about his next move.
Andrew Garfield and His Dream Team-Ups in the Spider-Verse
Beyond his evasive answers, Andrew Garfield revealed interest in collaborating with other iconic Marvel characters. He mentioned:
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine:
“Yeah, I love Hugh Jackman”
Tom Hardy’s Venom:
Calling Hardy “a really formidable actor” and saying he’d be “up for a good time”
Additionally, Garfield praised the animated Spider-Verse films:
“I really love the Spider-Verse movies. I love Lord and Miller. Just putting that out there.”
His Spider-Man even appeared via archival footage in Across the Spider-Verse (2023), with potential for involvement in Beyond the Spider-Verse (2027).
This clearly indicates that Garfield is open to multiverse team-ups, which aligns seamlessly with Marvel’s current approach to crossover storytelling. Furthermore, fans speculate that Garfield’s willingness to collaborate with other heroes could set up exciting future crossovers, thereby potentially bringing together multiple Spider-Men and other fan-favorite characters in unprecedented ways. In addition, his enthusiasm for team-ups further reinforces Marvel’s ongoing multiverse strategy, ultimately offering endless possibilities for interconnected storylines across movies and animated features.
Context and MCU Timeline for Secret Wars
Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for release in 2027, coming after Avengers: Doomsday in December 2026. Additionally, the film will feature Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, alongside the cast of The Fantastic Four.
Given Garfield’s ambiguous responses, it is thus not surprising that speculation is high he may repeat his No Way Home strategy, whereby public denials could potentially lead to a surprise appearance. Consequently, fans are eagerly awaiting another multiverse Spider-Man reunion, which in turn could become a major moment in the MCU.
With Marvel’s expanding multiverse, Andrew Garfield’s involvement could have significant implications, especially in potentially connecting Secret Wars with the Spider-Verse animated films and live-action Spider-Man storylines. Moreover, this development could set the stage for one of the most anticipated crossover events in MCU history.
