Andrew Garfield’s Silent Smile Sparks Wild ‘Secret Wars’ Spider-Man Comeback Theories

by

At the 2025 Middle East Film and Comic Con, Andrew Garfield subtly hinted at the rumors surrounding his possible role in Avengers: Secret Wars. Unlike his straightforward denial prior to Spider-Man: No Way Home, Garfield chose a more discreet method this time. During a meet-and-greet, an excited fan expressed, “I can’t wait to see you in Secret Wars“. Instead of denying or providing any verbal confirmation, Garfield simply smiled and moved on.

This fresh approach has sparked debate about the possibility that he might reappear in the MCU, albeit covertly. Despite Tom Holland and other Spider-Man actors not being featured in the cast reveal for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, it doesn’t necessarily exclude any of them from ‘Secret Wars’. Andrew Garfield’s decision to remain tight-lipped adds to the intrigue, making this instance particularly meaningful as anticipation for ‘Secret Wars’ builds, with its release still two years away.

The latest insights into Garfield’s “Secret Wars” strategy are shared by Itzy Reviews on Instagram, highlighting their encounter with some famous personalities.

2021 saw a flurry of rumors surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home, during which time Garfield consistently refuted any involvement in the film. He often provided intricate and elaborate responses to confuse fans about his participation. However, it was later revealed that these denials were actually misleading, as Garfield went on to reprise his role as Peter Parker (the third one), sharing screen time with Tobey Maguire and Holland.

Previously, Garfield described his experience of misleading interviewers regarding his Spidey comeback as “somewhat stressful, yet strangely entertaining.

The upcoming movie titled “Avengers: Secret Wars” is scheduled for release on May 7, 2027. This film could mark a significant ending in Marvel’s Multiverse Saga, possibly reshaping parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) permanently. The Russo Brothers are coming back to direct their fourth “Avengers” movie, and Stephen McFeely is working on the fresh script.

Regardless of the manner in which he is dealt with during the next two years, the character of Peter 3 from Garfield could plausibly be integrated into the storyline of “Avengers: Secret Wars” with a sprinkle of additional Multiverse enchantment.

In the movie “Avengers: Doomsday,” there’s an emphasis on characters originally from the X-Men universe owned by Fox in the past. However, many fans speculate that the major crossover event, “Secret Wars,” is being reserved for a grand encounter of multiple Spider-Men.

Despite the fact that Sony Pictures retains control over all live-action versions of Spider-Man, this complicates the process of bringing Andrew Garfield back into the picture, even if Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is already set for Avengers 6 after appearing in Brand New Day.

In 2022, Garfield stated that he had no intentions of bringing back his portrayal of the character in future projects, despite acknowledging that people may find it hard to believe him after recent events.

I don’t have any set plans at the moment, and it seems like I might be stuck with the reputation of being unreliable or untrustworthy because of it. I guess you could say I’ve become a bit like the shepherd boy who cried wolf too many times.

Following the shocking unveiling of the “Doomsday” chair, it seems there’s a slim possibility that Tom Holland won’t be tasked with misleading us about another Spider-Man appearance. Instead, Marvel Studios might choose to openly announce to fans that he will reappear in the upcoming saga, Secret Wars.
