Andrew Garfield Open to Reprising Spider-Man Role for Unusual Idea

Andrew Garfield remains open to returning as Spider-Man if a new project offers audiences a completely unexpected version of the superhero story.

The actor discussed the possibility during an appearance on The Playlist podcast The Discourse, stating that the new project should present viewers with a version of the hero that has not yet been seen on screen.

Andrew Garfield does not yet know what such a film would look like, but a standard continuation of Peter Parker’s adventures is not enough for him.

“I don’t know. I really don’t know. It would have to be something very, very unusual, very strange and completely out of left field. I’d want it to be totally unexpected—a genre of Spider-Man story that people haven’t seen before, something way outside the box.”

As one of the possible options, the actor suggested sending Peter Parker on a journey.

“I don’t even know what it could be. Maybe a road movie.”
