Here is what he had to say in an interview with Uproxx at one point. He even had some ideas about where the story could go.

He was noticeably distraught when the franchise fell apart and Marvel didn't want him to carry over his version of the character into the MCU. It is also nice that he doesn't harbor any ill feelings toward Tom Holland, who many praised for his work as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War earlier this year.Įven if he is ok with the way things turned out, Andrew Garfield was for some people the definitive version of Spider-Man on screen, and for whatever problems The Amazing Spider-Man 2 had, and there were plenty, he was very committed to the role.

Since he got to work with both of the legendary directors and could be looking at an Oscar nomination (or two) this year for himself, it is pretty easy to understand why he is at peace with what could have been in The Amazing Spider-Man 3. Given the early buzz on both Hacksaw Ridge, which is marking something of a major comeback for Mel Gibson, and Silence, a serious Oscar contender with Martin Scorsese at the helm, many of us will soon know Andrew Garfield for much more than just his turn as Peter Parker. I'm incredibly grateful that I get to now go and watch another man play Spider-Man, who I think is a fantastic actor in Tom Holland."

It is because of those movies that Andrew Garfield is perfectly fine with the fact that he never returned for The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which was originally slated to come out in June this year. The actor recently spoke with Fandago about a couple of his upcoming movies such as Hacksaw Ridge and Silence. That deal between Sony and Marvel is why The Amazing Spider-Man 3 never happened and Andrew Garfield actually thinks that is a good thing now. He is not really the definitive Spidey, mind you, just a guy who played him in two movies that ultimately led to Marvel Studios being able to use the character again. At the moment, most people probably know Andrew Garfield for playing Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
