Andrew Garfield’s version of Spider-Man in Mark Webb’sThe Amazing Spider-Manfilm series marked the successor to the version of Peter Parker portrayed by Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi’sSpider-Mantrilogy. Garfield last appeared in the superhero costume in Tom Holland’sSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021)
Then came the Oscar-winning 2018 animated feature filmSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseand the recent,Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse(2023). After producer, Amy Pascal teased a much-awaited live-action Miles Morales movie, garnering the unwavering support of Marvel fans, Andrew Garfield’s future as Spider-Man continues to fumble.
Andrew Garfield Kept Waiting For Sony’s Phone Call
Last year,Andrew Garfieldappeared on theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast and was asked outright by Josh Horowitz if he’d been contacted about donning the red and blue costume again. The actor simply responded in four words:“Ain’t got the call.”
Andrew Garfield played Spider-Man in Mark Webb’sThe Amazing Spider-Man(2012),The Amazing Spider-Man 2(2014), and later in Jon Watts’Spider-Man: No Way Home(2021). The actor might have admitted that“he’s on the level,”but his repeated denial about his involvement inNo Way Homedid raise a lot of brows.

As for Garfield’s future as Spider-Man, while Jon Watts is busy makingWolves, and Sony has its focus carrying forward the Miles Morales legacy withBeyond the Spider-Verse,and aMiles Moraleslive-action, it is fair to assume that Andrew Garfield’s future to don the Spider-Man costume seems canceled.
Andrew Gardfield’s first Spider-Man film grossed $758 million worldwide, becoming the seventh highest-grossing film of 2012. Miles Morales’ character was voiced by Sameil Moore inSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and he is all set to lend his voice again in its 2023 and 2024 sequels.

The Amazing Spider-ManFranchise Is Overshadowed By Mike Morales Story
Former Sony Chairperson, Amy Pascal, who producedSpider-Man: Homecoming, recently revealed that Sony is all set to develop a live-action Miles Morales movie. PromotingSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,Amy Pascal responded to the question of whether the 2011 character would get to take up the mantle of Spider-Man:“You’ll see all of it. It’s all happening.”
While Andre Garfield played the successor of the version of Peter Parker portrayed byToby Maguire, Miles Morales is the second Spider-Man to appear inUltimate Marvel. Marvel’s African-American comic character first appeared inUltimate Fallout#4 (August 2011), following the death of Peter Parker.
Sony’s storming success with Marvel’sSpider-Man: Miles Morales,becoming the third best-selling game of all time In America, led to the company’s urge to shift its focus on Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker, as reflected in its big-budgeted Miles Morales projects. After the 2018 movie’s Oscar-win, the 2023 sequel delivered the biggest box office opening since its release on June 09, 2025.
It is only fair to suggest that there are no plans in place to continue Andrew Garfield’sThe Amazing Spider-Manfranchise despite the mammoth success of the actor’s 2021 film, which became the highest-grossingSpider-Manfilm.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versewas released on August 07, 2025, and is running in theatres.
