Just when you think you know who is swinging where, the news drops, and suddenly everything changes.

Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland will not be appearing in Marvel’s upcoming tentpole, Avengers: Doomsday, at least for now. The news first surfaced via Daniel Richtman’s X account, and Garfield himself confirmed it in a recent GQ video interview. When asked whether he or Tobey Maguire would reprise their Spider-Man roles in Avengers: Doomsday, Garfield responded bluntly: “No, unequivocally fu----- no.” 

Garfield’s saga of Spider-Man uncertainty continues. He denied appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home before returning with Holland and Maguire, helping the film rake in $1.9 billion. As GQ reports, Garfield will only return if the story feels fresh. Holland, reportedly tied to Avengers: Secret Wars via Daniel Richtman’s X account, might skip Avengers: Doomsday. For now, fans must navigate Marvel’s multiverse, anxiously wondering if their favorite web-slingers will swing back.
