Garfield On Spidey and the Marvel/Sony Deal

Speaking with Uproxx this past Friday, former Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield commented on the Sony/Marvel deal, Spidey teaming up with the other MCU characters and more.

Via Uproxx:

Garfield elaborated on the abrupt cancellation of The Amazing Spider-Man 3 — more specifically, he says he had petitioned Sony to team up with Marvel. Garfield also gives us a hint of what The Amazing Spider-Man 3 might have looked like.

Q: With the next Spider-Man movie, you can just watch it like the rest of us.

Exactly, yeah. And I’ve been petitioning to hook up with Marvel since the beginning, so I’m really glad they’re finally doing it.

Q: Were you ever in talks with Marvel to continue on as Peter?

No. To be honest [pauses], all the ins and outs of what happened is a more tender conversation that maybe I don’t want to talk about in public in a press situation. But all I can say is that I’m stoked to go and watch a Marvel film of Spider-Man.

Did you know what would have happened in The Amazing Spider-Man 3?

I was actually starting to workshop ideas with Alex Kurtzman, who was going to be writing it. We thought to kind of start from the base level, the foundational level of where have we left Peter and where do we want to see him go and what’s logical. And how do we build upon where we left off with this deep, desperate moment with Gwen? So, yeah, we got to some pretty heavy places and I was really excited to kind of explore it and be involved on the ground level like that. But, anyway, it wasn’t meant to be. As I say, I’m just really excited that I get to watch.
