Amid the swirling speculation about which iconic figures will return for this grand finale, the conversation naturally turns to the multiple versions of Spider-Man.

MTV recently interviewed Andrew Garfield, who previously played Spider-Man in live-action films. When asked about his future involvement in superhero projects, he gave an enthusiastic response about a related animated franchise. Garfield stated that he really loves the Spider-Verse movies and holds great respect for the creators, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Expressing his interest in being a part of the franchise, he said, “Just putting that out there”. 

Garfield's Peter Parker has already made a small, yet significant, appearance within the animated narrative. Archival footage from The Amazing Spider-Man franchise was utilized briefly in the film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. His expressed desire to return, according to his interview with MTV, perfectly aligns with the franchise's ongoing exploration of endless Spider-People.

Hacksaw Ridge star Andrew Garfield’s tenure as Peter Parker began with The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012, followed by its 2014 sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2. These two Sony-produced films established his iteration of the character as a troubled and athletic hero grappling with the mystery of his parents' past and the devastating loss of Gwen Stacy. While his original storyline was cut short, leaving Peter Parker a somewhat more haunted and unresolved figure, his unique portrayal gained a massive resurgence years later thanks to the unfolding multiverse narrative.
